    Thumbs up Senator David Norris for President!

    I want David Norris to hold the Presidency for a term.
    i like his open minded/forward thinking approach to social issues
    (such as the drug situation)

    i don't want any more women in the Aras for a while because i think
    it's now 21yrs since a man held this office?

    David is gay and i of course have no issue with this.

    I suspect you may not get your wish, seems someone has it in for him, possibly because he is gay.
    I have no favourite among the declared candidates, I suspect we will see a female celebrity candidate, despite her denials, she won't get my vote for sure.

    would love to see Norris as president, he's a great speaker and a little more in touch with reality than most. I had a quick look at the other candidates and none of them float my boat. Also it would say a lot to the world that Ireland has an openly gay president, I have a feeling that he wouldn't take a backseat (pardon the pun) like his predecessors, but instead shout form the hilltops to get his voice heard about laws he believes in.

    Yean can't see any problem with him being president. Race, sexual preference and creed have never bothered me

    its interesting subject this

    norris has a mind and thinks for himself and has the balls and brains to fight his corner.....but history tells us that the blander and more vague and meaningless the politician/party/manifesto the greater their chance of electoral success......this is a rubicon moment in irish politics methinks.....mind you....perhaps we crossed that when mary robinson was elected

    I too would love to see David Norris elected as President. It would say a lot about Ireland if he takes up residence in Aras An Uachtarain. Unfortunately I think Ireland is still way too conservative and backward to see him in as President. The media dreging up the past, about his ancient statement on age of sexual consent and relating that to alleged views on Paedophilia, say it all!
