- well W never seemd to try and sound inteligent, almost the opposite made him much more "comfortable" on the surface - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 18, 07:31
- Yeah, but W. was a "good old boy" who they'd feel comfortable sitting down and having a beer with. That's why they voted for him. - Kim Pine Sep 18, 07:28 15
  - This is a good point about W. - ty97 Sep 18, 07:33 14

        What Republican candidates were likeable, in your opinion? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:00 6

        Yep. He's the one that I might have considered. But how does a Moderate get through the Primary. - Bacon Sep 18, 08:10 1
        
        And you finish #2 four years prior and have the most name recognition. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 18, 08:26

        the fact that the GOP can't offer one is just ... -- nm - amanda Sep 18, 07:56 1
        
        Reagan wouldn't make it now. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 18, 07:59
Yeah, the debates will be when it's over. -- nm - nubby Sep 18, 07:22 3
- but the red state people who only vote based on my right to control my own body and brian's right to marry joe don't care about the debates. - amanda Sep 18, 07:29 2
  - There actually are undecided people out there. - Spawn Sep 18, 07:49 1
