Easier

Judy suggests that the Presidential race in 2008 will be between Hillary & Jeb.

That's so dynastic it's practically medieval.

It's like the Wars of the Roses. Like the Capulets v the Montacutes.

It seems as though every political system slides backwards if let- towards such primitive institutions as monarchy and aristocracy and clan.

As George W Bush jokingly said (oh, but he meant it)- "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier."

Well, there's a new name.

I have to confess I'd never heard of Romney before. It's good to know there are other possibles.....

mitt romney is my governor. i hate him. he's all good looks and charm and nothing else. he's a republican governor in a democratic state and it's very obvious to everyone here that he's just using the position to put him on the national stage. he spends most of his time travelling to other parts of the country, giving speeches to other republicans about how stupid massachusetts (my state) is. when he's not doing that, he's trying to reinstate the death penalty and repeal the judiciary's decision to allow gay marriage. poor mitt; the gay marriage thing is really going to hurt his bid for president.
