With the primary season upon us and the eve of the Iowa caucus I thought I would take some time to review the major candidates. If you want useful information about the candidates, you'll need to go elsewhere.
Democrats
- Biden(D) -- How many times can you run for President before you become Harold Stassen.
- Clinton(D) -- Haven't we had a Clinton in office recently? I may be a slow learner, but I have learned after voting for the second Bush.
- Dodd(D) -- Who?
- Edwards(D) -- Man if I had hair like his I would run for office.
- Obama(D) -- His rhetoric is totally inspiring, but I don't trust people whose career is founded on politics or political activism.
- Richardson(D) -- Don't know much about him, but I think it is impressive to have your resume indicate how many hostage negotiations you have won. Let's make him secretary of hostage negotiations.
- Giuliani(R) -- Whatever you have to do to be successful at running New York City will probably catch up to you when you are in the big race. His focus on 9/11 seems creepy to me.
- Huckabee(R) -- A governor from Arkansas??? Seriously, we're not doing that again are we?
- McCain(R) -- My personal favorite. He is willing to take a tough position even if torture is a plank in the party platform. Kind of old, hope he picks a youthful running mate.
- Paul(R) -- Google says he is the one to beat.
- Romney(R) -- I have never have liked Governors from Massachusetts.
- Thompson(R) -- His most redeeming attribute is that he isn't one of the other candidates.
