My boss said something interesting to me Tuesday morning. “What do you think about a Clinton/Obama ticket in ‘08’ I said that sounds like the media’s golden ticket. I had read a few articles about this subject, but mostly they said, wow, what a dream team. Of course that was the liberal media bias talking. A dream team? I’m not so sure. A Liberal team? Most certainly! Besides Obama has announced he will move towards running for President. I love how all of our candidates announce their exploratory committees and how they are ‘thinking of running’, but need their committee to help them decide for sure. It’s a big joke. We already know who is running.

I think what we are seeing here is a pattern regarding certain candidates. Prior to the primaries even as early as a year away from them you get a media blitz on one or 2 potential presidential candidates. Mostly, because the media is so far to the left, it has to do with the democratic side. For example, this year we have Obama. Pretty isn’t he? Well, he likes Monday Night Football too! Last election we had John Edwards. He was pretty too. But this year John Edwards, who is running, will have to take a side step because Obama is blitzing onto the scene! What does this say about the media? You can tell they are very ‘Hollywood’ in their selections. Note, that Edwards did not win his parties nomination, John Kerry did, however, Edwards decided he would run for vice president. Will we see the same thing in ’08? Hillary Clinton winning the nomination and Obama walking beside her for the VP? Possibly, if history repeats itself.

No candidates in 2000 could live up the Hollywood standard, so they went with the sitting VP. In the primary, you had Bill Bradley losing horribly to Al Gore, and Gore picked Lieberman has his running mate. So could it be, that our nation’s media has been ‘Hollywoodized’ since the 2000 election? Most certainly! The whole election seemed like a movie with court room drama and people yelling and protesting. I think more people watched the reports of the election issue than any other TV show at the time. The media needs its ratings.

The Republicans are missing a young, attractive candidate for 2008. They do have an attractive, charming former governor, however, in Mitt Romney. What a smile! Somehow I think we will see the wicked witch of the party vs the war hero (McCain), ultimately, slug it out and whoever is left standing will win. But there is a lot of time between now and primary day. And even after primary day there’s a long time to the next caucus day. Just remember anyone with the lead can ultimately lose it, just ask Howard Dean.
