The Repositorian I hope will lead the pack is Guliano, the present frontrunner. The nice thing about him is he turned New York City into a police state, polarized the place treating the poor and the black like dirt. Though he looks like a moderate Repositorian, he's someone who may make George II look like a benign dictator. He tried to extend his term and make himself Mayor of America for ever and ever. New York had to say "No way!" to him. He'd be a first rate dictator, making George and Idi Amin look mild in comparison. I vote for him.

For those wondering if I meant Repulsivicans or perhaps Repelicans, let me assure you it was a typo. I meant Respositorians obviously.

This is the America after all, so forget that. I'm betting that Edwards plucks the ring. He talks good. Can't even guess how he'd be in office though. Personally, I'm solidly in the Kucinich camp. If a man who looks like him, talks like him, walks like him and votes like him could be elected President of the United States, then all my 60's beliefs in and aspirations for America would be rekindled. I'd put flowers in my hair and dance in the streets knowing that, indeed, the times they are a-changin'. But I'm sure that I'll have to write him in and then Irene will accuse me once again of throwing the election to the Repulicans. And so, who do you hope heads up the Republican ticket?

I know that several people back Mrs. Clinton but I haven't heard much about Obama. Anyone excited by his candidacy? What about John Edwards? He has been distancing himself from Clinton by saying he made a mistake with the war and talking about raising taxes and universal health care. These three lead the early polls but maybe there are other candidates (Kucinich, Gore, Wesley Clark) who you would like to see run.
