more ’08 candidates I would like to see

it’s obvious that the media has already decided for us which republicans are going to oppose hillary in ’08. how nice of them to do this. we certainly wouldn’t want the responsibility of picking someone ourselves. however, they are assuming hillary won’t face any serious challenges. that’s a big if, especially if the far-left is still running the party 3 years from now. if they are, i can think of several far-left candidates the democrats should consider for maximum ideological fanaticism and entertainment value. on an “unrelated note”, i really do miss ross perot.

here’s my first ticket and reasons for/against them.

rachel maddow/kent jones
(slogan — we’ll save air america!)

why rachel?

  • she is very smart and argues the liberal side with conviction
  • she ties conservatives in knots with her arguments
  • doesn’t attract special interest money from rich corporations
  • she works with kent jones
  • she opposes the new york yankees, as any good american should

why not?

see above. ms. maddow belongs on the radio as an intelligent liberal counterpoint to the rest of the country.

why kent jones?

  • having a comedian as VP might be fun
  • imagine the press conferences!

why not?

  • both rachel and kent shouldn’t take valuable time from TRMS to run for office where they would actually do less damage.

also receiving votes — the jerry springer/ al franken ticket. think that springer wouldn’t come up with a few reasons to tune in to his media blitz? the testimonials alone would be priceless. i mean, look how many people he’s lifted out of the gutter. you could get a few ads out of that for sure.
