And in the Other Ring

I am remarkably pleased with the front runners, if there are front runners at this stage.

Obama: His grasp for the holy roller vote is troublesome (they will neveh, eveh, go for it) but he appears to me to be a fresh, honest face. Go ahead, carry on my native (well, mostly) son, Barack my world! And whoever is sliming him with this madrassa crap, get a life, (and it's not Clinton's camp, Faux News!).

Clinton: Oh dear, Tweety and Drudge are in shrill heaven. Boy was Matthews pissed yestermorn' when his bosses woke him yesterday for comments on the announcement. And Drudge, dust off all your moldy conspiracy files. I find her pragmatism is probably the the right tone for these troubling days. Her issue avoidance of all things gay, while nettlesome, is probably required for the long haul. But come on, DADT is long overdue to go the way of the Edsel. Me? These last 8 years of Republican rule from "The Uniter" have pushed me over the progressive edge. (Russ, it's not too late.)

Richardson: Don't know enough yet. I suspect he resides soundly in the democratic center, and I have no issues. Could he be the one?
Update 3: From DevilsTower at DailyKos:
Fresh off his visit to Darfur, Richardson has a credibility in international
affairs that few can match. Governor, congressman, secretary of energy,
and UN ambassador.
What's that you say? Anyone running for president
should have a good understanding of how energy is driving our foreign policy?
Hmm...

(Note to M&MR: Could it be... a quote from Satan?)

Edwards: He's pissed off the trial lawyer haters but I tend to favor his positions. We need to get out of this ill-advised war. We need action on health care, health insurance reform. We need to take on Big Pharma, at least as far as negotiating prices for Medicare. I'd start there. After 8 years of the Bush kleptocracy, is it even possible these days to be "too" progressive?

Finally, Kerry: GO AWAY!!! You had your turn. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Oh and as you exit stage left (hopefully, followed by a bear), do us all a favor and STFU!!!!!! You do a lousy stand-up, regardless of how it was twisted and spun.
Update1: In fairness, here is his website. Well at least he is no longer remembered as Mr. DYKWIA ("Don't You Know Who I AM!?!", must be spoken with mix of incredulity & indignity).

Update2:
I forgot Biden: Forgot the Bloviator? Wonder why? He never STFU's, either. He's very impressed with the sound of his own voice. Most special. I was completely turned off by his self aggrandizement during IRAQ warhearings last year. Not worth my time looking for the video.

Have at it, M&MR.

The Satan we talk about is not in the abstract...he is an embodiment, you know, someone you have to flush the toilet after.
