    I'd say anyone that doesnt vote for him will probably be kneecapped anyway so we're ****ed either way.

    For a suspected murderer he's a likeable chap.

    Any link to prove that he's running?

    Sinn Féin is expected to name its candidate for the Presidential election this weekend.
    Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and former Stormont minister Michelle Gildernew are understood to be among the contenders.

    I actually think it would be quite amusing if McGuiness got elected

    All those people who wanted a real Irish rebel in the house ( the park) will be chuffed to bits although the chattering classes will 'not be amused ' :pac:

    Ha, well its true he is much better than the other candidates imo, albeit Higgins is decent enough.

    What makes him better than the rest?

    I'd put Higgins miles ahead of him as being more suitable. Hell even though Norris wrote that disgrace of a letter id still put him as more suitable.

    No proof I'd imagine, however I will say this, around Derry there is plenty of talk and there is one very infamous incident that has been attributed to him, which I won't repeat here but I'd imagine that quite a few will know which incident I'm referring to.

    All he has to do now is say he's gay and he'll be a shoo-in.

    exactly id' say he is probably linked with a lot of the stuff the IRA did , as others have said no smoke without fire etc. he'd have a very good chance of winning as up against political lightweights and a few unknowns i.e. mary davis and sean gallagher

    Personally I like the idea of Martin McGuinness as president just to see Enda Kenny and FG having to deal with him.
    Apparently he is good enough to be deputy first minister in Northern Ireland but FG will be telling us he isn't good enough to be president of Ireland.

    I don't vote SF but I am tempted...

    Sadly its probably more 'popular' to be a suspected murderer for a cause then be gay.

    Higgins won't be the only one miles ahead of him, it'll be like a national marathon to the nearest docks.
