filkertomI think it's way too freakin' early to be in the 2008 presidential campaign. But here we are.
The Republican candidates are, one and all, jokes. Mitt, Newt (and if you think he isn't a candidate you just aren't paying attention), Sam, Rudy, Tommy, John (oy, John, how the mighty have fallen...). And, honestly, a number of the Dems aren't much better. I have little confidence in Clinton, as we have disagreed on policy a few times too many and, thanks to the incessant attacks of the right wing, she has almost no hope to win. Obama is promising, but is more of a campaigner than an actual leader from what I can see, and he Just Plain Needs More Experience. I am leaning towards Edwards, and I think he's giving me lots of reason to do so.
I know almost nothing of Bill Richardson. But his new ad makes me interested. And, Bill? Whoever came up with it -- keep that person on your team.
