I agree. The fact the Obama is sneaking back up on McCain in the gallop polls says something.

Not only that, but I heard that if you're mayor of a small town and then a governor of a small state and you hunt animals with helicopters, you might even be picked to run for VP!

He shouldn't do anything. He should become a lawyer and stay one. Guy would be great at defending anyone.

I bet he could beat Daley in a mayoral race (its about time he retired anyway). He could always come back here and run for mayor, I'd vote for him. In that case, he wouldn't be just 'a mayor' he'd be 'hizzoner da mayor' .

He'd be a shoe-in for Illinois governor (but then again, everyone hates our current governor, so that isn't really the compliment it sounds like).

Although, I'd still holding out for a presidential victory.
