Obama, much like Jimmy Carter, is going to ride a wave of popular sentiment to office - not so much an enthusiasm for what he brings to the table, so much as a rejection of the last eight years. Voters are going to the polls with pitch forks this year, much like in 2006. We will end up with a one term Senator who's only real connections are in Hollywood and Illinois. He may suffer the same fate as Jimmy Carter - although Obama will have both houses of Congress under his belt on day one, and for at least two years.

Nadar, probably a good guy and supreme corporate watchdog, doesn't have a chance - heck, he's not even on the ballot in all fifty states. Plus, have you seen him lately? He makes John McCain look like a youthful lion.

While nobody is really going to the polls with an axe to grind with McCain, he's gonna' get stabbed by the pitchforks mentioned above. His star rose eight years ago, and Bush crushed it. But when you are running against mobsters like Guilianni and cultists like Romney, you will get the nomination.

Jim Webb, current governor of Virginia, should be at the helm of our nation right now. Read a book called "The Nightinggale's Song." Given his history with the Navy, given what we know about the Office of Naval Intelligence, given the wise words Webb speaks every time he gets in front of a microphone, I would speculate that he is a guy that knows a lot of stuff about what we discuss here, and genuinely cares for the human condition.
