That moat may not be too economical when you factor in rising gas prices. Perhaps you could fill it with Fanta instead, and just tell everyone that is gasoline.

Is Fanta flamable?

Word, Gary. Plus, that way you’ll be prepared when the Russians come.

This is all of course if we still have presidential elections in 2008. Me – I’m already shopping for contractors to dig a 50′ mote around my compound in Montana and fill it with gasoline.

Some pundit made an interesting point about Hillary. S/he said that part of George Bush’s success was that people who liked him, really like him; and people who hated him, really hated him. This led to Karl Rove’s strategy of targeting districts where Bush underperformed in 2000- to get out more of the Republican faithful. Anyway, the point was made that Hillary is the same kind of polarizing figure, but because of that could increase Democratic turnout in a similar fashion.

I’m not sold on Edwards. I think that with all the restructuring the Democratic Party is going through, and will go through over the next four years, if an Edwards ’08 campaign might not seem like “more of the same”.

After two close losses (arguably) to a monkey like W, I don’t think the Dems will be taking any chances on the next election, and a female candidate is a huge chance. Not only that, but a lot of middle-Americans have vehement feelings about Hillary, and it’s obviously their “values” that prevailed in this election.

The American people apparently want a simple President. A very simple President. If the Dems are smart, they’ll pick their guy now, start positioning him to make a run in 08, and save the smart and complex politicians for his Cabinet. I think Edwards might be able to pull it off.

1) Hillary Clinton
she’s been prophesied for so long, i find it hard to imagine she’d be able to stay away from the election in 2008. whether she can win or not, i’m not sure, it depends on how she campaigns. but after four more years of Bush, i’d be surprised if the people wouldn’t be willing to elect The Penguin.

2) John Edwards
i’ve already seen two or three pundits writing lengthy articles about Edwards’ viability as a candidate in ’08. he’s definitely got charm, charisma, and an ability to connect with the “common man.” i’m actually leaning towards Edwards, though i’d be thrilled to see another contender who can supplant him.

as for Obama, i think he’ll bide his time. gain some more political experience, shine that rising star for another decade before he makes a run. if Hillary or Edwards win in ’08, and if a second term looks likely, i fully expect Obama to be the first African American president in ’16.
