    I know that scumbag Bertie Ahern was thinking about throwing his hat into the ring but hopefully after what happened fianna fail in the election he won't bother. I wouldn't mind David Norris.

    I like Norris - would love to see him make it. I'm sure Fine Gael wouldn't be best pleased however given their apparent anti-equality/anti-gay stance....

    Not a full time one but there was that time Graham Norton held office for a few months when Mary Robinson was having her bunions seen to. Only time I ever heard the Artane Boys band playing "it's raining men" before the All Ireland

    Would he have any chance as an independent if he does not get a party nomination?

    Personally I think he would be absolutely brilliant as President.

    I would be happy enough with Norris in the Aras but expect this campaign to get dirty as the quote below from the website i mention fully explain

    During the course of the interview, David said that “in terms of classic paedophilia, as practised by the Greeks for example, where it is an older man introducing a younger man or boy to adult life, I think that there can be something to be said for it.”

    I'm reserving judgement on him until some disturbing revelations are clarified.

    +1 cant stand the man. No problems with his sexuality I'd have Shirley Temple Bar instead of that pompous gobshite.

    Personally my opinion of the president is, that alls they do is sign the Bills off, which need to be passed, so in my opinion i dont think they have much influence on the country. Yes going abroad to represent the country i think is their main role, so i think he'd fill the role well.Just my opinion.

    +1 on that.

    Michael D wants it,he is ideal for president,idealistic and a poet.great man for the job.

    Also if Norris goes for it,then we should expect a very dirty campaign.I expect the David Quinn types to try and destroy him.

    He is very smug in all fairness though :D
