Well, with less than two weeks before the first caucus, I guess it's time to start paying attention. I enjoy Jonathan and Dale's misguided passion, and agree with both of them.....Huckabee would have made a good Democrat 30 years ago and Romney wants this job too badly to make a good president. I offer the following alternative, the man I flirted with in 2000: John McCain.
Great write up here
Key points, McCain has been positively Churchillian in his steadfast desire to see us to VICTORY in Iraq. And, the strategy he has supported for years, more troops, is WORKING. For you independents out there, one candidate has gotten the endorsement of both the Boston Globe (liberal) and Manchester Union-Leader (conservative). I look for McCain to be the comeback story coming out of NH.
Headline this "Jonathan Might Have Been Right". Years ago Jonathan forecast that GWB might go down as one of our greatest presidents. A couple of months ago, that looked like a foolish prediction (much as most of his financial and sports picks have turned out to be). But now...think of what GWB's legacy may (MAY) be in a couple of years. We win in Iraq with Bush staying the course when nobody, NOBODY, supported him. In Petraeus, Bush found his right general after three years (the same amount of time it took Lincoln to find Grant). After 9/11, NO attacks on US soil. Taliban overthrown. Longest sustained period of economic growth. Iran and North Korea loom as big problems, but remember the Berlin Wall fell 10 months after Reagan left office, and his legacy improved immeasurably after that. If Iran or NK collapse peacefully (or rejoin the international community) during or soon after his term.....GWB will have some legacy.

OK, somebody please cut Justin off. He has been drinking the kool-aid and it is starting to have an effect. It will take a mis-guided historian and many, many years of revisonist history to make a success out of the GWB presidency.
