Weirdest. Election.Ever.
If you went back in time to 1995 and told me that, up here in 2008:

  • the First Lady would be running to become the Dem nominee for president
  • in a tight race against a 46-year-old black man
  • named Barack Obama
  • The former Republican Mayor of New York (when the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists)
  • would sit on his ass while his poll numbers went from first to worst
  • while the current Republican Mayor of New York (a multi-billionaire) threatened to jump in the race
  • Chuck Norris would be a political power-player
  • The Republicans would boo their own torture-victim war-hero nominee when he speaks
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, would endorse him
  • Rush Limbaugh would offer to fundraise for Hillary
  • while Nobel peace prize winner, cable tv network owner, & Academy Award winning movie star Al Gore decided to sit it out...

I would have you committed.
