Democratic Presidential Candidates

I always am a sucker for underdogs. I know I have posted about Obama running and I know he is not exactly an underdog. However, Tom Vilsack and Bill Richardson are definitley underdogs. I know less about Vilsack than I do Richardson, but both of them are hitting on Iraq. Vilsack has a long op/ed piece in today's Washington Post. Richardson got an Associated Press write up earlier in the week that I had not had time to post. Richardson had one of the funnier campaign ads from last year. I suggest that anyone interested in the presidential race in '08 not get fixated on Hilary just yet (unless you are Rush Limbaugh who I still think has a Hilary fetish). Both of them seem very sensible.

Also, this morning while channel surfing I stopped in at Fox News. Yes, Saturday morning television is that boring but it was a business show. Fox News provides me a does of comedy whenever I stop in. Someone touted Gore in '08. Now, I am not so sure that is a bad idea but Al keeps saying he is not running ever again. I can even say I like Gore more than I did in 2000 - he seems relaxed, even human now and not a stand in for Kawliga. What was funny was the figurative drool on the fellow's chin as if Gore as our candidate in '08 insured a Republican win. I feel pretty certain that a Republican win results from a Gore candidacy.
