Re: Who will be the Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2008?

I hope the GOP doesn't run a Senator. Senators possess a different skill set than do governors. A governor would never tell the folks at the DMV that they have been handing out the license plates narrow side out and he thinks they should hand them out wide side out. Senators are do this all the time .... they spend weeks in commitee arguing over semi colons in the most obscure areas of the legislation they are trying to pass. In the 20th century there have only been two senators elected to the highest office. JFK who was a good chief executive was one - can you name the other? Governors on the other hand possess the skill set needed to be chief executives by virtue of their training. I think Senator Kerry' training has him too involved in too many details of his own campaign and it is suffering because of this. Just a thought .
