I think that all the leading Democratic contenders either have too many negatives or are political lightweights with virtually no chance of getting the nomination (eg: Dennis Kucinich...) Welterweight John Edwards might emerge as a less risky alternative to Clinton or Obama - especially if Gore doesn't get into it.

Since all the heavyweight contenders have strong negatives, and since most of the country is sick and tired of having Presidents with Southern accents, and since the Republicans are reeling and will probably nominate semi-geezer, John McCain, I'd like to see the Dems draft their eldest statesman (except for Sen. Byrd...) Ted Kennedy.

I thought he was more impressive and animated than McCain on last weeks Meet the Press

So what if Republican media henchmen will dredge up Chappaquidick ghosts - I wouldn't mind hearing "Bridge over Troubled Water" playing in the background of their attack commercials...All the other Kennedy family scandals are old news (and so what what if he got caught cheating once at Harvard - contender Joe Biden got caught plagiarizing speeches ...?)

He can stage a comeback like George Foreman and become a popular champ in his old age with a new image make-over (including cosmetic surgery to his nose...)

I think Teddy would hand the Reps their asses...if they ran Oliver North against him.

Listen to what Michael Tsarion has to say re: Hillary.

Michael Tsarion - Part 1 - The Outsider & the Guilt Complex
December 21, 2006



We are proud to have Michael Tsarion back with us on the program, now as a monthly regular. We'll begin this program talking about Hillary Clinton as a possible 2008 presidential candidate and we move into the area of chronology and history and speak of the research of Russian Scientist Anatoly Fomenko. Then we pick up the thread from Michael's "2012 - The Future of Mankind" presentation and address the need for psychological understanding of man and of life.

Michael goes into the concept of the selfless man, the karmic man and the Dharmic man, and what about the Outsider in all of this?

Michael Tsarion - Enlightenment, the Ego, the Self and the Soul
January 14, 2006

Michael Tsarion is back with us for his monthly visit and we begin to talk about the latest news about Bono getting his knighthood from the Queen and his promotion of the "Red" campaign. Then we move on from where we left of last time and talk about the misunderstanding of the word "Enlightenment". How can man be illuminated by darkness? We also talk about the recent creations of the ego and the difference between the ego and the self. Towards the end we also get into the nature of the soul ...

SIDE NOTE: Is it possible fr Bill to be president again? Seems someone told me you can be elected to a third term if it's not consecutive.


Nope. Although Bill supported changing the Constitution to allow a non-consecutive third term.

The question is whether or not Bill could be elected Vice President.

22nd Amendment:
Quote:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.


12th Amendment
Quote:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.


One could interpret it that he is eligible to the office, but ineligible to be elected to it. Or one could interpret it that since he is Constitutionally ineligible to be elected to the office, he his ineligible to the office, period.

I used to like John McCain but his stands though admirable in some cases seemed extreme to me. If Colin Powell would run, I would think he would be a good GOP candidate. When it comes to the democrats, Obama somehow seems like an appealing candidate not so much part of the mainstream. Obama is articulate, educated, from mixed heritage, and he seems to connect with people. I would like to hear more from him. He seems to be a person who would actually reach out to your average American. I don't feel this administration did anything but the opposite because it polarized the country and it almost seemed to be using some segments of the country against each other in a divide and conquer scheme and doing tht to your own people is bad. I think someone who can really reach out to people would be good. I am not sure Hillary can do that, but she is very qualified for sure.
