I hope Gore picks Wellstone for VP. He'll need a liberal to balance the ticket.

Does anyone think Nader might have an impact this year? I heard he was running as a Green.

Gore should go left with his Veep pick or someone with more charisma.

Bush is kinda appealing to me...but I'm skeptical about his foreign policy views and worried about his social conservatism.

I like his "strong but non-interventionist" style, but I have doubts that he will apply it. He'd need a strong VP pick to assure me of it. Colin Powell, Anne Armstrong, James Stockdale, David E. Jeremiah, or John Danforth would be good for that.

There's some speculation he might pick Cheney. Dear God, I hope not.

Who's Cheney? Was he in Bush's cabinet or something?

He was HW's Defense Secretary and Ford's Chief of Staff. He's also incredibly hawkish.

Ah yes, I 'member.

He also vaguely reminds me of Darth Vader. I call him Darth Cheney.

No seems to remember that Donald Trump has been hinting for a while now he might run as one of those bland low-energy "moderate hero" types in the Reform Party. Not sure if that would make a difference (the man is dreadfully boring and has no charisma whatsoever) but giving Perot's numbers it should be taken into account.

Lmao Trump has basically gone bankrupt too many times and is a joke now . Maybe if he ran in 1992 or 1988 he could get 5-10 percent of the vote but not in 2000

Is there any small chance he runs for president in the future? And if he does, what is the chance of him winning?

If he runs, it'll be as a Democrat and he'll get less than 1% of the vote in Iowa before dropping out.
