Should Clinton or Obama Run in '08?

No and No! I say Obama should wait at least until 2012. The challenge that faces the next administration will be cleaning up Bush's mess in Iraq. That job should be left to some of the hardknocks out there like Hillary or McCain or Giuliani or Kerry or Gore (we can hope), or whoever who's fixing to run.

It's not that I think he can't do it, I just think the business of Iraq should be over and done with before he runs, so that people will not judge him on some mess that was created by W. I think too that his inexperience in Washington will be used against him by his opponents if he runs in '08 and undecided Americans (these are the only people that really matter) will buy into that. He has no 'baggage' that we know of, so his sticking point is his inexperience.

So, as much as we want a breathe of fresh air in Washington, Sen. Obama, sit it out for a few more years. Your time is coming.

As for Hillary, she shouldn't run ever, she's too divisive! You either love her or hate her (I think she rocks), there's no in between. Her rhetoric is great for the Democratic base but that's about it. She's not going to be recruiting any undecided voters to her corner. Also, she has too much baggage. Whatever she did (or didn't do for that matter) during the Clinton administration will be scrutinized under a microscope and it's not going to be good. Whoever who'll be running against her on the GOP ticket will win. I can almost guarantee it (and it's not because she's a woman) just based on her past and present political ideologies. Way I see it, if Hillary or Obama run in '08, the Republican challenger will win.

So, because one of them will run and will win the Democratic primary, just hope the GOP ticket doesn't have someone too radical. How about Rudy Giuliani? I like him because he's considered a moderate conservative, most importantly, he's pro-choice. That's why he'd never win the Republican primary. A Giuliani & Clinton showdown would be like the 2000 New York Senate race that never was. He pulled out of the race after being diagnosed with cancer. As for McCain, well, I don't care for him, he's overrated. He blasted Obama a few months ago, so eat shit and die! Do I sound bitter?
