Do you think a "dark horse" candidate, like James Polk, can win a modern Presidential Election?

We Answered:

Republicans know that they are not going to win the next elections and a campaign need a lot of money. Therefore Republicans only need to figure in the elections, they need only a figurative candidate while they are negotiating with the democrats their own future.

When there was a deadlock.

Christine Said:

Is Mike Huckabee the Republican dark horse candidate?

We Answered:

He could be called a dark horse, but that doesn't mean he is a real and viable contender.

After Huckabee made those ignorant comments about the Iraq War (you break, you buy) I quickly wrote him off my list. Obviously, the guy has no knowledge of history or of our complex and misguided Middle East policy.

He simply attacked Ron Paul by talking about our troops and throwing out the word "honor."

But he failed miserably to win the argument.

I'm backing Ron Paul.

Do you think it's time for a candidate from a dark horse party?

We Answered:

Look we are in a violent time there really are people out there that want to harm us abroad and at home I think maybe the man or woman we need is someone who gets this,and also will listen to the people I mean even Clinton gave us all a choice, what we had was a democratic president that worked with republicans and brought us some good days you would have thought folks would learn from that.

Bradley Said:

Do you think the Dark Horse candidates will always win the presidency from here on out?

We Answered:

I hope so. The less status quo the better. The less government the better.
