Even more than when the Dems were running in 2004, this election seems like everyone's running for VP (which makes the fact that the whole process started so early extra excruciating).<BR/><BR/>And for what it's worth, I think Huckabee's greatest idiot moments have already come from attaching himself to Chuck Norris and a <A HREF="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/07/556161.aspx" REL="nofollow">low-fat hamburger</A>. Clinton's sax moment was lame, but a using a damn food product as a political endorsement? Ye Gods.

But what can we do but to pick the most qualified among the candidates and hope and pray they don't lead us on a collision course.<BR/><BR/>And the good news is that four years later we'll have another crack at it. You gotta love that about American democracy. We almost always get another bite at the apple so to speak without there being a terrible disaster, chaos, or whatever.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-1521540233034913292008-01-01T21:35:00.000-05:002008-01-01T21:35:00.000-05:00Happy New Year, Sultan - 2008 is a good year to ki...Happy New Year, Sultan - 2008 is a good year to kick some butt.No Apologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572493844157464978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-57879324869972087052008-01-01T16:27:00.000-05:002008-01-01T16:27:00.000-05:00The Democrat party does seem a bit hysterical.
