In light of the large number of senators running for president in 2008, the article discusses senators who should be considered in the running for 2012.
Some will be considered as vice presidential nominees [in 2008]. On the Republican side, Mel Martinez (Fla.) or Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) would make attractive running mates. Martinez hails from the biggest competitive state and could help Republicans appeal to Hispanic voters. Kay Bailey Hutchison has run and won convincingly in the largest Republican state, and adding a woman to the ticket might be a useful counterbalance to [the Democratic ticket]. On the Democratic side, Bill Nelson will always be considered because he is a moderate Democrat from all important Florida. Bayh, Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) and Mary Landrieu (La.) would be attractive moderates in Republican states. If any of these senators gets picked as the VP nominee and loses, he or she will be a strong contender in 2012.

Aside from the VP nominee path, there are several up-and-coming senators who may be ready in 2012. If Democrats are in the White House, Republicans may look to three Johns and a protégé of a John. Lindsey Graham (S.C.)… a conservative on many issues, but a maverick who often bucks his party. Then there’s John Ensign (Nev.), young, rising in the leadership and from a swing state in an increasingly competitive Southwest region.

John Cornyn (Texas) has gained prominence on the Judiciary Committee and in the lower rungs of leadership. John Thune (S.D.) is… a fresh new face with a future in the Senate, or perhaps in the Oval Office.

NO!!! I refuse to think about another election. This one has alredy gone on long enough and we have over another year of it!

I Refuse!!!
 
According to conspiracy theorists, the world will be ending in 2012 anyway. Let’s not jump the gun 🙂

Well then i would like to announce that I am running for President of the United States in 2016. I will finally be over the age of 35. I have no idea what my platform will be so give me a few years and I will let you know. You can start sending donations to my committee if you want. It will go to good use to buy me some shoes and pay for law school. Thank you and have a blessed day!
