basicly I think about how his father pres
didn't make big impression on me...old boy network|(else) none
I think he'd make a good president - I would support him. Next: All politicians are fearful to change, all afraid to change the endangered species act, because they'll lose votes; and it definitely needs to be changed...about to put ranchers and farmer
I don't trust him either. (next) I think he tried to practice what Clinton did 8 yrs. ago and 4 yrs. ago which was don't discuss issues - don't openly answer questions.

I don't like him. He's killing too many people.
George Bush's son. Cocain addict. Else? Presidential candidate.

would make politics traditionally like his dad, since he had his dad by him side has good knowledge of policits
texas politician , next presidential cnadidate
next president,nothing else comes to mind
Not quite ready to run the country, a little to young.
a constitutional conservative that leans towards the middle on social issue, i think honesty is a word that discribes him
he's the republican on the other side running for president, i think he's like he's dad, a good guy but too big business, raised millions for his campaign, had to get it from somewhere, but not the working class
never liked him (else) think he's too old and he reminds me of the president before ronald reagan, old and too stern
intelligent very carismatic genuine warm
crack head, like father like son, no new taxes, too young,
wouldn't vote for him; lack of credibility
daddy's boy; not quite the same man as his dad is, but that is what I think of.

looks like going to be president-has some reservations on him-thinks that all in washingoton are lawyers-looking out for themselves
