Frankly, I favor the Republican candidate Ron Paul, but I don't think he has a chance of winning his party's nomination.
Now, the "dangerous" part of my musings...I think that no matter who wins the Republican nomination, he will be a shoo-in in November. My reasoning is simple. There are more than enough chauvinistic rednecks in America to insure that neither leading Democrat will win the presidency. The "male chauvinist pigs" will not vote for a woman, no matter how well qualified she might be. The rednecks won't vote for a "colored" man, either, even if he's the most qualified candidate in the running.
Then, there's the matter of constitutional qualifications to consider. Both the president and vice president must be male, according to our constitution. Walter Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro probably helped cause his loss to Ronald Reagan because she couldn't have legally taken the oath of office. You'd think that "the powers that be" would have noticed this, but so far nothing has been done to amend the constitution to allow the inauguration of women.
Well, enough of the ramblings of an idle mind! I'll get off the stump now.
