Politics is a Sport: Pre-Caucus Thread

[Tribesman]

It has to be Dodd , while he has shown some difficulties in working through tax policies he works hard , does have a wide range of experience and is well known to deliver value for money .

Hey Tribes, how come you haven't been conscripted by a ward boss in your neck of the woods to run for office.

As much trouble as you give all politicians, you'd be a lark to watch as a political leader.

Maybe not Taoseach [sic?], at least not straight off, but surely the Dail could use a chap of your talents?

I'm not fond of any of the proposed guys, either side. But if I had to pick today

Dem: Dodd, with Obama as VP

Rep: McCain, with Paul as side-kick

Either duo are not afraid of a bit of hard, dirty work (which whoever wins will face for at least 3 of their 4 years in office); they know the levers of gov't, they're very familiar with international relations; they probably won't burn down the White House in their first 100 days, or take away my house, or get my soldier-son killed on an 'elective war', or further alienate the 'other' side.

I'd generally like a non-DC insider (guv, mayor, movie star), but the non-DC guys on those slates don't (IMO) rise to the level of focused vision I think we need in the cloudy next 4 years.

That said... I bet 5 bucks the Hildabeest and Huckleberry come out on top in Ioway.
