The Presidential Election 2008

I just thought I would throw this race in my blog. Everyone knows President Bush can't seek a third term and Vice president Cheney has chosen not to run so that has left the first open election in decades! Many Candidates have annouced interest and here is a list:

Republicans

Virginia U.S. Senator George Allen
Kansas U.S. Senator Sam Brownback
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist
Fmr. U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich
Fmr. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
Nebraska U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee
Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain
New York State Governor George Pataki
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
Massachuetts State Governor Mitt Romney
Colorado U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo
Fmr. Wisconsin State Governor Tommy Thompson

Democrats
Indiana U.S. Senator Evan Bayh
Delaware U.S. Senator Joe Biden
Tennesse State Governor Phil Bredesen
Fmr. Army General Wesley Clark
U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Fmr. U.S. Majority Senate Leader Tom Daschle
Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Dodd
Fmr. S. Carolina U.S. Senator John Edwards

Nebraska U.S. Senator Ben Nelson
Pennsylvania State Governor Ed Rendell
New Mexico State Governor Bill Richardson
Montana State Governor Brian Schweitzer
Iowa State Governor Tom Vilsack
Fmr. Virginia Governor Mark Warner
Fmr. U.S. Vice President Al Gore

Several third paty and Independent campaigns mentioned of major politicans is Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (G) and Fmr. Minnnesota Governor Jesse Ventura (I). Also I look for Michael Badnarik (L) the 2004 nominee to win his congressional run in Texas and run in 2008 for president.

According to the Latest numbers Sen. McCain, Rudolph Giuliani and Condi Rice are the G.O.P. Front Runners. Hillary Clinton is the sole Democratic Leader. Fmr. Sen. Edwards and Sen. Kerry are the 2nd place finishers. Al Gore is to but many feel he won't run.

The latest Polls
McCain 49%
Clinton 37%

Guliani 49%
Clinton 40%

It is way too early to say who will be the next president but here is a small guide for you.
