After refusing to use the word for the first chunk of his presidency, George W. Bush all of a sudden loves the word “no.”
In fact, after a warning he made this week regarding Congressional efforts to setting a timetable to pull out of Iraq, his veto pen seems to be surgically attached to his hand.
It’s no wonder so many Democrats are coming out of the woodwork to run for presidency in 2008.
This article appears in Apr 26 – May 2, 2007.
I guess I don’t quite understand this post, as on the other side of the duopoly there are 11 official candidates running for the GOP nomination.
They are:
1) Mitt Romney
2) Rudy Giuliani
3) John McCain
a bunch of second-tier runners, like
4) Duncan Hunter
5) Sam Brownback
6) Ron Paul
7) Jim Gilmore
and guys without a chance in hell, like
8) Tom Tancredo
9) Mike Huckabee
10) John Cox
11) Tommy Thompson (no relation to Fred Dalton Thompson, the Law & Order actor and former Senator)
While on the topic, I’m (stupidly?) calling my bets here and now – Mitt Romney is going to win the GOP nomination. He’ll pick up the nomination because of the money race and because he has a better “conservative” rep compared to Giuliani. I’m calling it. I shouldn’t call it, but I am.
However, the strongest candidate against Hilary — sarcastically seen as the GOP collective’s worst nightmare for President (Obama is “okay”) — … the strongest candidate probably would be Giuliani or McCain, not this other guy.
Just thinking aloud.
dem Dems have usual problem whether to run against da past or da future which is same as running against past as usual and as usual dey screw it all up so yeah it money. It probably be Romney v. Clinton or Obama. A perot would make tings interesting, favor Dems, but dat once twice lifetime so figure on more in the end, Republicans so good making you worry about your money dey leaarned lots from freaky Goldwater campaign 1964 dey’ll keep playing what learned.
