It will be the war in iraq, that will decide which party will win.

any candidate that supports the war, will lose for sure, americans are sick of this war.

both parties have also failed to do anything about illegal immigration.

Today's conservatives are only self-appointed. They are a disgrace to the real conservatives; the term means ``belief in small government.'' Bush is a disaster and neither side is trying to rein in his disastrous spending and his reckless, even bizarre foreign interventions.
We need another Goldwateer. Bush is the worst ever, the biggest spender, the most profligate with entitlements and it may take a decade or more to clean up after this brain-dead administration.

Norbert, Lehigh Pennsylvania,

I have a question? What is wrong with all of us. Why do we buy into this crazy political game that we call an election. Conservative or liberal, can anyone really tell me what either of these terms means. Republican or Democrat, does either side really have the anwsers and solutions to the many problems and woes we have in the US. I'm starting to think we're all missing the point, myself included. The poltical media machine keeps telling us to look east when we should be looking west. These politicians and politic parties do little for us in reality. Look at who funds their campaigns big business, special interest groups, lobbyist; etc. Basically BIG BALLERS! BIG BALLERS that have all of us so concerned and fighting over the scraps and crumbs that they brush off the table; while they pimp us for our votes and eat the whole damn pie. Do you know why our country is great. It's great because of OUR DIFFERENCES. So why do we continue to allow ourselves to be divided by them. A house divided against against itself shall not stand. The choice and power is with us, but it has always been with us. The question is what we choose to do with it.

The Republicans have never been able to defeat a Clinton, and there is no reason to think they can do it now. Hillary will defeat the Republicans again, and I look forward to the GOP hysteria when she beats them again. The GOPers count on "Hillary Hysteria" to help them, but if the Republicans have nothing to vote FOR and merely count on Hillary resentment materializing into something to vote AGAINST, too many of them will stay home and Hillary wins. Remember this, Republicans...if you want to beat Hillary, you better have something to vote FOR. "I hate the Clintons" is not enough...

The silent Majority will rise up to defeat Hillary Clinton. She has issues with the far-left. I wouldnt be surprised if she was not the dems. choice. But, hear me now.....whoever wins look for Obama to the vp choice. Do you libs really believe Clinton/Obama can win. Paaaalease even with the CNN's(Clinton News Networks they would be lucky to take 30%. Good luck with that LOL.

If the Clinton woman, was not a Clinton, people would not even listen to a word out of her mouth. If this person is the best the liberals have, I feel sorry for the entire country. Another Democrat or 2 will rise up in the next several months, and take her lead away. I can't believe she's even getting press. What was this person doing before she decided to marry politics, I mean her husband long ago. Guliani will win this election easily. Conservatives will realize that he gives the Republican party the only chance to win. Guliani will defeat any Democrat easily. He holds New York easily in a head to head against the lady in the Pants Suit, so NY will go to the Republicans. Clinton is hated everywhere else. Guliani will court a Southern Republican to win Texas and Florida, and also pick up the Hispanic vote. Republicans will win easily.

The election is 20 months away, and Hillary Clinton is not electible in a nationwide vote. Conservatives will pull out their knives after the primarys if Clinton gets through them.

Go ahead and bash Bush and the USA, it's seems to be the favorite pastime in Europe these days. Try not to think what kind of the world it would be if the US was not keeping tyrannical, fanatic regimes around the world at bay. Depend on the UN to keep you safe, just as it is doing so much for the Sudanese. Good luck with that.

Very interesting to hear from 'experts' who absolutely have no clue as to what real conservatives are like or think about the issues and candidates. It is like a landlubber telling an old salt how to sail the seven seas. Don't liberals realize how clueless they are? I think liberal writers only listen to themselves and never leave their air conditioned offices.

"Thousands of US conservatives gathered in Washington yesterday feeling betrayed by President Bush, dispirited by Republican presidential candidates..."

Absolutely right!!! Thats why we need:

Well, America should think whether they want a conservative type president who won't really alter their Foreign Policy or a President who knows how to project the country in the international arena.

Jiesheng Li, Singapore,

I'd agree that the conservatives have no clue, but does anyone seriously think the Democrats are any better on that score? If so I suggest you haven't been following American politics too closely over the last couple of years.

Dan, Birmingham,

It illustrates that he conservatives have no clue. As usual, they waste their energy attacking the messenger, rather than articulating a constructive agenda.
What have con's to offer? War, taxes, privacy intrusion, big business perks, USA warming, international isolation, ...
Is that all the wealthy elite can come up with? Come on, con's get constructive.

When Hilary wins the presidency, which she will, what does that make Bill- the First gentleman?
