Posted this yesterday. Seems it's still apropos:
We ALL really need to calm down. The announced candidates have begun their campaigns (ie: fundraising drives) WAY too early. Some who may seem to have momentum at the moment will find America completely sick of them when it comes down to crunch time. Dark horses will surge only to fall back. Issues we haven't even thought of yet will be hotly debated. Gaffes will be made. Come November, 2007, or June, 2008 or, most certainly, November, 2008, things will be completely different than the way we view them now.
This preposterously early start for the campaign is, I think, an effort by the candidates to stretch out the fundraising "season" and the media to get more political bang for the buck, in controversy to feed their news programs, advertising for their bottom line, and advancement of their old-hippie agenda.
In other words, the politicos and the drive-bys are manipulating us AGAIN. Just look -- conservatives are already at each others throats -- just the way the media and the libs like it. Just like 2006.
We sheeple never, ever learn.
Spot on!
