2008 election looks like it’ll be interesting.

First Sen. Obama announces he’s running for President and now Hillary Clinton joins in on the fun. Then, just to add an element of danger, Sen. Brownback tosses his hat in as well.

I like both Obama and Clinton, but there’s that age old question of whether or not Americans will vote for what would be a historical first for this nation: Making either a black man or a woman President. Of the two I’m inclined towards Clinton for the simple reason that I thought her husband did a pretty good job as President, at least when he wasn’t getting hummers from the interns, and if she assembles much the same team as he did she may be able to clean up the latest mess the Republicans have generated for the country and perhaps get us back to a time of budget surpluses. Though that last bit may be a tad much to hope for considering all the damage the Bush administration has done to the national debt.

I’ve written before of the problems with Sen. Brownback and if ever there was someone who could conceivably be an even worse President than George W. Bush then I’d say Brownback is the top candidate. Brownback’s fundy tendencies makes Bush look like a liberal Episcopalian in comparison. So I’m hoping he never makes it past the primaries especially if Obama or Clinton manage to win theirs.

Still there’s more than enough time left for this to get even more interesting and I’m sure it probably will before it’s all done and over with.

Jeb can’t run. Bush the Lesser has burned all the Bush bridges. Nobody will ever trust another Bush presidency. Too much poison, too much stupidity.

Hank, I thought that in 2004 too.

LJ: I’d like Hillary to win just so’s y’all can say your last 4 presidents were Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.

LOL Hadn’t thought of that one

Considering the controversy over whether Bush actually won against Gore in 2000 anyway I would expect it quite possible that Jeb might get in

Damn Funny!!

I wouldn’t mind seeing a Hillary/Obama ticket.  If that doesn’t work at than I would be equally impressed with Obama as Pres.
