2008 woes...already!
Man. It just doesn't seem like we ever get a break from this stuff.
Here we are, still a year and a half out from the next Presidential election and I'm already sick of listening to politicians speak bull-babble that comes out of their mouths.
Since Hillary and Obama decided they needed at least 14 months to make a statement before primaries roll around then it doesn't look like we have a choice.
The interesting thing is that I have no good educated guess as to where this is going to go.
As far as the Democrats go, I think we're obviously looking at either Obama or Hillary. Hopefully not Hillary, there's just something about that woman I don't trust. Much like her husband, I think she's a good politician. Good politician=bad for the people.
Obama seems to be a likable enough guy and seems more sincere than some, but I don't know if he's well-known enough on a long-term level to do the job.
The Republicans have a very out of the ordinary bunch this round. Rudi Guiliani, likable guy but brings along some minor scandalous baggage. His forward stance during the 9-11 attacks I feel give him an interesting edge.
Mitt Romney? If this is the best the GOP has to offer then it's time to pack it up. Small-town America Republican supporters will never elect a Mormon President. The belief that all Mormon's are polygamists is still pretty strong.
Fred Thompson? Not technically in the race, but that could soon change. He does have star appeal and political experience, but first we have to see if he enters the game.
Polls are showing some mixed results, but several candidates haven't been brought into account yet.
What do you guys think? Is America ready to accept a black man, a white woman or a Mormon President? Your guess is as good as mine.

The fact is, when whichever bombs out of the race, those are the reasons we'll be hearing.
I'll be honest, right now I like Fred Thompson, and that's partially because he hasn't started talking. Maybe it's because acting abilities hide the politician inside, but it's just a gut feeling. McCain or Romney neither have the pull when it comes to a Presidential race.
My number one concern is what will it take to ensure that Hillary is not our next President. It has nothing to do with her being a woman at all, simply a general dislike for her. The idea that suddenly she has decided she's a moderate is insane. If Hillary gets the Democrat ticket, it will take either Guiliani or Thompson to beat her and that's not going to be easy.
I certainly see Obama as a better alternative to Hillary.
If you want to see what your candidate truly represents, see who they were 5-10 years earlier. Don't base your opinion on what you hear during the election, because that's not the person you get, that's the person they believe they need to be to pull the most votes.
Thanks for joining in.
I'd even like to see a third party candidate step up and at least get the opportunity to debate these people. I think that's a major part of why they are left out of the debates. When you are reasonably sure you won't win anyhow, you're there to make a statement.
But, it is fun to say....bull babble.
