Not VP Gore or Sen. Allen....well....let's just leave it at not VP Gore or Sen. Allen
So far, there are a lot of people that the media are touting as running for the 2008 presidential election that are not just right, although they all have some good qualities. Hopefully, the voters won't have to settle for someone that is not quite what we're looking for. Or voting the lesser of two evils.
The media should stop surmising and the voters should just keep looking.

You post all these "Not This Guy" but you never say why not...
One thing I have not seen mentioned much, but there is someone who would probably be the heavy favorite under different circumstances. He is the wildly popular Governor of a very large, incredibly important, very diverse state. He is loved by his party and respected by the other party. He has a proven track record of managing Natural Disasters effectively and efficiently. He has run a state that has it's own foreign policy (to some degree). He is also smart, articulate and possessing all of the qualities that should make a good executive.
Who is it? Why...Jeb Bush, of course. Somehow, I have a feeling that the nation is all Bushed-out (as evidenced by his not even floating the idea of running). Not that this is a "Woe is Jeb" speech...you live by the name, you die by the name. Consider it one more thing his brother has cost us.
