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?
