A town near me got fed up with local politics and politicians once and elected a dog as mayor. Partially out of a sense of silly, partially because they didn't think a mayor actually did anything, partially out of frustration. Maybe we can do that.

Way too early for anyone to make bold pronouncements about the 2012 campaign.

At this point in 2006, almost everyone thought the 2008 election would be Guliani vs Hillary.

I remember back in 04' when he was running and caught tons of flack for not being married, but he no doubt hit the jackpot

Wait . . . which Sanders are we talking about? Because that doesn't describe the only Sanders I know. Am I missing something?

I think he means Bernie Sanders, the self-admitted Socialist.

That is what I was thinking, that is the only Sanders I know. I was confused because he is fairly far left, being a Democratic Socialist. Not that I mind. I think he's a pretty cool guy . . . just rater unelectable.

Actually, he refers to himself as a Democratic Socialist.

What's the frequency Kenneth?

On one of the Cable News shows, they were speculating who would be the first DEMOCRAT to demand Obama produce his birth certificate.
