I do hope that Hillary will never run for president, nor even vice.
First, I don't think a woman can be elected president any time in the
next decade or two. Second, Hillary has so much baggage that it'd bog
her right down.

I'm afraid that ego will trump intellect, in her case. Just as it has in
Rah Dean's case, that is, if he had any intellect.

What's more distressing is that the Dem. party machine will likely think
nominating her is the right idea.

I really want to see a Hillary Clinton/George Clooney vs. Sam Brownback/Rick
Santorum election. This country ain't near ****ed-up enough, let's go all
the way!

It's really quite comical.

Ted Kennedy did a pretty good job on his own.

As Mr. Tim Johnson pointed out to me earlier.

Obama needs a few more years under his belt.

Agreed. I'd also like to know how far back his family ties to Saddam
Hussein go?

Obama just barely is a citizen, I might add:

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961

Hawaii Statehood: August 21, 1959

Wouldn't he have been a citizen even if Hawaii never changed from
territory (or protectorate or whatever) to state? I suspect that
anyone born in Puerto Rico is a U.S. citizen, for instance.

Well yeah, but that doesn't fit well with my conspiracy theory!

Can territorial citizens be President?

The buzz around Barack is happening too early and he realizes this, as
evidenced in his own comments at last week's NH book signing, town-hall
thing. His flame could burn bright and brief, at least for the 08
contest. I do like his message though: amongst other things, the
audacious hope that a campaign can be fought with a respect for the
opponent. I just wonder if he'll still walk on water when he realizes he
has to go negative, either as a first strike, or in retaliation?

Well, presidents have, for the most part, been territorial.

who, although not certain of much, rests assured that this observation is at
least as valuable as most of the political pearls cast before this audience.

Don't worry about Barack Obama's fighting ability. He's won,
and lost, elections for the Illinois legislature and Illinois
politics is anything but genteel.

Okay, but could a Puerto Rican or Samoan citizen become POTUS?

Not that I disagree with you, but evidently at least one big name on
the right has a different take. It appears DeLay thinks Hillary will be
elected in 2008 and will tab Obama as her veep:
http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=28995

Of course he goes on to blame it on the media working in concert
with a "liberal coalition" run by Carville, Blumenthal, Begala and Ickes.

He also says Obama has the record of a "leftist-Marxist".
