Presidential Election

Just a thought... Clinton (Hillary, not the other one) is of course considering running for President in 2008.

Is there no one else?

We just passed 300 million, according to the turnstile counters on the Southern border.

In the 300 million, all we can find are relatives of former Presidents?

How's it going to look in the history books some decades from now, when reviewing a list of Presidents it goes Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton... what, will Jeb Bush be next?

Is there no one else? Attention Smith, Jones, anyone else... come on. Let's break out of this routine.

This is not an anti-Hillary post. (And for those who might interpret it, it's not anti-Bush either.)

Come on, America. Surely we're more creative than this.

It does sometimes feel like another remake of "Dumb and Dumber"

Personally, I feel that both parties have had men of inspiration, however, today neither have anyone of any merit, but, that is just my opinion....

I'm not overly thrilled with the prospects on either side. I don't even think the Independents have anyone to get the voters fired up in '08. Time will tell, I suppose.

It used to be said that anyone can be president but that has changed in our society. Today president, congress and even state level politics is out of reach for the common man. Unless you are wealthy or have wealthy friends (most of which don't hang w/ poor people) then you will not have the means to wage a competent campaign. It really is ashame that our society has become driven more by money than belief and honesty.

Well, there were the Adamses, pere and fils, and the cousins Roosevelt. But not in the abab pattern we've had lately.

I haven't seen anyone of either party that I'd wish to vote for ('speshly in the Congress - a big bunch of losers!)...of course, nobody has yet sent me a demo, either. :) I hope somebody new shows up... The same ol' same ol' could get really tiresome.
