As the Republicans look at the definite possibility of losing the White House to the Democratic candidate in 2008, they are also beginning to notice that the individual could well be a woman, an African-American, an Hispanic-American, or a trial lawyer. I expect a lot of the wingers will choke on their Kool-Aid when this occurs to them.

You will notice, too, that all but one of the announced Democratic candidates is from the Northeast, Midwest, or West. If ticket-balancing and swing-states have anything to do with the presidential nominating process, I’d say that should shine a strong light on our own Senator Bill Nelson as a potential vice-presidential nominee. Just saying, that’s all. He wouldn’t be close to my personal top choice for being a heartbeat away from the presidency, but then I’m unlikely to have the privilege of selecting my own favorite.
Well, I’m tired of choking violently on my morning tea as I read the net and see the latest of six years of outrages, each worst than the last. Fair is fair.
Actually, John, I’d go with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as a Florida VP, but then I like twisting the blade, and Debbie is one of the most responsive pols in Florida. Bill Nelson is not one of my favorite people for a couple of his votes.
As they say, Ellroon, payback is a bitch. They really deserve it if they can’t get someone worth looking at to run. The last time I saw a group of losers like the Reps have, it was a line-up for a purse snatching.
Oh, my. I’m betting some of them are getting a little upset by now. What a great thought!
OWL, I just hope they refine their messages on the use of military force against anyone, and return to the standard of evidence not belief.
