An incredibly powerful ticket is emerging from the Democratic convention -- and it is not Kerry-Edwards. It is Hillary Clinton and Senator-Designate Barak Obama. In the recent history of the Democratic party, there is no more enticing ticket -- a woman and an enterprising, articulate black. This combination could promise a chilling 16 years of democratic stranglehold on the presidency.
All the numbers are right, Hillary is still young enough that she could take office in four years, this would coincide with Obama's fourth year in the senate, which would make him experienced enough for the job of vice-president.
All that stands in the way is John Kerry. If Kerry is elected this fall, Hillary faces at least four, but most likely eight years before she gets a shot at the presidency. By this time, the likes of Obama and perhaps even Edwards might be perceived as legitimate contenders for the White House.
Is the Clinton mafia powerful enough to throw this election? The press and Hollywood have reinvented John Kerry, they can also destroy him. Who still pulls the strings of the media and Hollywood? I believe the Clintons still have a powerful alliance with both camps.
Oddly, Kerry is the wild card in the equation. If this mediocre senator can muster enough leadership to overcome the Clinton mafia, perhaps he can win the election and disrupt the plan.
The weakness in this whole situation is that The Bush-Cheney ticket does not provide a logical successor to challenge Hillary in 08.
Hopefully the "rapture" would have happened by then.
You forgot the sarcasm tag unless you really are praying for the end of the world.
Jeb.
Niether the Rapture nor the Lottery are legitimate retirement plans!
America is still too bigoted to elect a female and a black to the presidency.
The end of the world, starting with the Rapture, would be a blessing compared to having 16 years of Dim presidents. For us believers anyway...
Bush after his 2008 can be succeeded by Jeb Bush. All in the family; a la banana republic of Syria?
Jehovah's Witnesses useda be the authority on the subject with exact dates and other details. Wouldn't hurt to axe them!
"America is still too bigoted to elect a female and a black to the presidency."
I thought Clinton was the first black president. And if Kerry wins (God help us all), he's such a sissy that he'd qualify as the first female pres.
They wouldn't even crack 40% of the vote. Hillary will be the candidate in '08 but she is unelectable. Obama is a hatemongerer.We are not that far gone YET.
No, and my odds are increased, due to the non participating of the lottery.
I consider the Jeb Bush idea interesting, but too dynasty like and not likely to happen.
There is plenty of talent available.
Plenty!
Like this?
This is why Condi must run for office in the next four years. I would love a McCain/Rice ticket. Or Rice/McCain.
There are a ton of Republicans. I'm not a fan of Jeb Bush running 2008, it would just be too close and smack of a mini-kingdom.
I like Condi, but forget McCain. He has too many issues that would surface.(or re-surface)
There isn't an end, per se. but new beginning. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. Believers are in hope of the rapture to be rid of this world full of sin and to be with the Lord in heaven.
The only persons interested in staying on earth are those that love the world and do not bellieve in Jesus. Jesus said if you love the world, you can not love me.
Hear me now and believe me later. Obama is not going anywhere politically in the next 10 years other than possibly the U.S. Senate.
JC Watts in 2008!
