Top Five Presidential Candidates for '08

I know it's early, but this is sort of a fun first post. Who would you like to see as our presidential candidate for 2008? That rhymes...cool. Anyways, here's a list of my top five. Feel free to tell me I'm stupid or add a list of your own.

1 - Hillary Clinton : I believe this country is ready for a change, and that change could be in the person of the first female president. She has the strength, conviction, and intelligence to get the job done. Not to mention her political savvy and moderate stance (something voters have come to like, lately).

2 - Barak O'Bama : I know, I know. He's too young, he's not completely white, and the voters will never go for him. SO WHAT. He's been a great inspiration to many, and he's just what this country needs. Do I think he'd get our party's nod? No. But would I like to see him be on the campaign trail? Yes.

3 - John Kerry : No one likes to run a loser from a previous election, but Mr. Kerry (as well as Mr. Bush's failings) really motivated a huge base. Voters showed up in record numbers to vote for him. He's also got name recognition. Wouldn't mind seeing him as a VP to Mrs. Rodham-Clinton.

4 - Al Gore : Again with the previous loser, but Albert has been a warrior for the party since his illegitimate demise in 2000. He's become more spirited, and his views and priorities are very attractive. Don't look for him to play second fiddle to another Clinton, though.

5 - The Dean : Howie has been screaming on morning radio shows for the last two years, now. He's definitely got name recognition down. I don't know if he's got the disposition to be a presidential candidate, but he's got to be one of the smartest political minds in our party. He needs to be involved in 2008, even if it's simply contributing to the discussion.
