Kerry won the purple heart thrice. Bush and Cheney are draft dodgers. Based on those premises alone, who would you rather trust with your security?

Bush is held to a different standard.  He is seen as a Texas Cowboy who doesnt take any sh**t off those terrorist and for the most part the American people like that.

Bob Dole is a decorated World War 2 Vet, Bill Clinton was a draft dodger, out of curiousity who did/would you have voted for in '92?

I wasnt old enough to vote at the time, but of course I would have voted for Clinton.  The economy was strong and it was peace time.  But since you brought up Bob Dole, I have a question.  Was he strong candidate?  I wasnt really into politics back then (i was only 11 years old), but I have been wondering how stong of a candidate he was and if he ran a good campaign?

He was a lackluster candidate- the Republican John Kerry, you might say.

Bob, was there any candidate that could have beat Clinton in 1996?  Was anything going wrong at the time that might have give anyone a chance in hell at beating him?

Almost certainly not. The GOP field was a weak one- Pat Buchanan was a prominent candidate, as was Steve Forbes- and if anything, they would have lost worse than Dole. The economy was booming, and Clinton's centrist policies were very popular. No one had ever heard of Monica Lewinsky, either.

1996 was a Democratic year, period. No Republican could have beaten Clinton, just like no Democrat could have beaten Reagan in 1984.

If Clinton had tried to continue his left wing agenda that he started off with (which led to the Democrats getting lambasted in the '94 mid-terms) he would have been beatable. Also he was already known for being unfaithful to his wife. Though, the facts were the moral issues didn't matter, it seemed pretty petty to be whining about a persons affair when the economy was doing well and after '94 Clinton needed to be moderate to get anything done with Republicans in the congress. I must say Clinton was an excellent Politician with a great amount of adabtiblity. And, Bob Dole was, sadly the best candidate the Republicans had to offer during the primaries. Now, if a person like Colin Powell would have run against Clinton in '96 it would have been one heck of an entertaining race

What was the point of the monies part? Just to create a list for the primary?

My pick: Secretary of State Condi Rice (R-California)
