text: is there going to be democrat president in 2008.? i know this is like my other question but people stopped answering because of one misguided person's view.  or can the republicans stay in power with a new leader.  serious answers please. lets hope this question is not spoilt. to be fair it will be put to the vote. i am hoping that americans vote for the individual and not the party with which the individual is associated.  we need to get away from a party system and begin to focus on individuals beliefs and convictions.  from my standpoint, to vote for someone simply because they belong to a particular party is quite ignorant.
