The next election

Since it's now fashionable to begin campaigning one or two election cycles in advance*, check out Emmit Tyrells postulation as to who might be running for the presidency in 2016. Tyrell suggests that Obama might well not only get elected, but also be a 2-termer, although I'm not even close to being that kind of doom-sayer. I'm having a hard time seeing the big-O getting elected in the first place.

Mr Johnson is a happy, well-adjusted proper conservative with a background in executive management, journalism, and television comedy. Sort of like Fred Thompson, only younger, with a blond haystack of hair, and actual enthusiasm for the job.

What's not to like? Well, we'll find out over the next few years as he settles in to his new job as Mayor of London.

Hoping for "Doom" is not the same as being a "doom sayer". How do we label those hoping for doom... humm...

Boris Johnson a young Fred Thompson... huh!?!?! You really aren't serious :(
