I often get questioned how I can be watching all the debates t his early and not get burned out. I don't have a problem with everything starting so early. My problem is that everyone wants to end things early. The D's have basically coroneted Hillary Clinton, and there are forces on the Right who just want to flip a coin between Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, just to see who's on top and who's on bottom. I mean, we have all this time. Can't we at least just pretend to listen to the other candidates?

Here's the main thing that disturbs me aboot Hillary Clinton. More and more liberals don't like her, however there are an abnormal amount of conservatives who are saying, "I don't know how to say this, but she makes a great deal of sense." It was one thing when some of my liberal friends started to agree with Pat Buchanan, but this is just too much for one man to process.

We were discussing Karl Rove at the bar Friday night. Yes, I was out at a bar on a Friday discussing politics. I don't see how judging me is necessary. Anyways, there were two schools of thought as to why he left the White House. My friend thinks it's to run one of the campaign's in 2008. I think he's going to take some time off, write a book, make a few sheckles giving speeches, and get ready for Jeb Bush's presidential run. Then, after eight years of Jeb, I think Chelsea Clinton should be old enough to run. Maybe after that, George Bush the Third (Dubya's Spanish nephew)?

Speaking of Rove, do you know what sucks? When Karl Rove is the guest on Meet the Press, you make your coffee, you sit down expecting (and somewhat looking forward to) Tim Russert to be grilling him...only to find out Russert's on vacation and they have that weenie David Gregory filling in.
