Are you laughing?

Observing the application process for the soon-to-be-vacant position as leader of the free world might make you laugh. Particularly in times like this when laughing is such a serious matter…

Hillary Clintons laughter is making headlines and spurring debate across the web. Is it real, is it fake, does it make her more or less likeable? You tell me..



Either way, the whole process of electing the most powerful man, er person, in the world fascinates me.

So far Mrs. Clinton is looking good, along with Americas Mayor Rudy Giuliani. But my guess is that neither of them will make it in the long run. None of them are really electable at the end/beginning of the day.

Personally, I do not think that America is ready for a female president. Bearing in mind how long and dirty this campaign will get, Clinton seems to be vulnerable on to many issues merely because she is a woman and because she is as controversial as she is. I think she will be successful in securing the candidacy on behalf of the Democratic party, but at the end of the day she is a divisive figure for America. I can think of several Republican candidates who could beat her.

Rudy Giuliani is one of them. Today he is the frontrunner in the republican race, and if elected as republican candidate I think he would stand a good chance of winning the whole schabaam. But for the same reasons I think he would beat Clinton or most other democratic candidates, I think he will not win the candidacy of the Republican Party: He is too liberal! He’s been divorced a number of times, is pro-choice and has even been a democrat.. Thus, at the beginning of the day, he is not electable.

So who is my guess? If he does well in his first debate and manages to get his fundraising campaign off the ground I think Fred Thompson is the man. Folksy, confident and eloquent, I think he has what it takes to be elected.

But do we really want him? Hell no… We want Obama. Right?

I like Clinton, she has gusto, she is tough and realistic. The only thing that people find strange about her is she can be objective, a trait known to be uncharacteristic to women but is now more subscribed to by men (but lets not get into that shall we?). Some may say she is not feminine enough, but Bill must have found something 'special' in her, (well he found somethign special with Monica as well, but that's another story all together!). Obama may have that sparkling quality that makes you feel at home, this is not paradise and their is no land of milk and honey , sadly he is too idealistic, wanting to enjoy a cuban cigar with Castro is not going to change Fidels love for the Americans(or the lack of it!). I hate to echo Georges' words but for the record this is the one and only time i will say that i agree with Bush, Hillary is a 'solid leader'. No prizes for guessing that after 8 years with George, Americans have grown smarter( growing is a relative terms when it comes to Americans, but thats beside the point), although they may not know the difference between Armenia and Algeria, they have already indicated that this time, they will vote for someone who can spell both countries!
