2008 Presidential Campaign Starting Way Too Early

Wow here it is March 2007 and the candidates are out there campaigning like crazy. It’s all about the money and they are trying feverishly to get their hands on as many dollars as they can. To me they are all drinking from a poison wel but that is the nature of the beast. It’s too early for me to make any predictions or to support one candidate or the other. They still have to win me over and I am very open minded. Obama seems to have come out of now where or at least I didn’t know who he was several months ago. Al Gore has an Oscar and lots of cool stuff planned for the summer so even though he hasn’t announced I do look for him to get in at the last minute. Running for president gets in your blood so I doubt he will be able to resist the temptation. The Civil War in Iraq is likely to be the biggest campaign issue but if that was to shift to the environment Gore would win hands down. He and all the other Democrats seem to be on the right side of the Iraqi Civil War issue so if they don’t don’t screw it up they should have at least some advantage. Nothing is a given so who knows how it will be when the time comes to make a decision. It should turn out to be an interesting campaign season and once they start spending money I hate to think about how many television commercials we will be bombarded with. This is a good time to own a TV advertising outlet like Clearchannel, or at least that’s my opinion.
