It starts...

Well… I guess we can be grateful that he waited (almost) 48 hours before unleashing the horror of the 2008 presidential election upon us ...

Less than two days since the American public showed their intense displeasure with the gop, we had the opening salvo of the 2008 Presidential nominations thrown at us as Iowa governor Tom Vilsack (D-IA) made an offical announcement that he is establishing a 2008 presidential campaign committee.

Yay.

Vilsack is the first to “officially” toss his hat into the ring… and he won’t be the last by any means. Other politicians will soon follow, Democrats and republicans alike… it’s even possible that we could see another hopeful throw his (or, I guess, her) hat into the presidential ring before 2006 even comes to a close.

As you read this post, former Presidential candidate and retired General Wes Clark is “turning his attention” towards a possible presidential run… add to that the “murmurs” of Bayh, Clinton (good god, no!), Obama, Edwards, Kerry (GOOD GOD, NO!), Gore, Feingold, Daschle, Biden, Richardson and myself, you have a plethora of possible candidate/nominees.

And that’s not even taking into account the republican side of the spectrum… but really, who wants to do that?

Now I’m sure we all would like to enjoy the euphoria of recent days (winning both the House and Senate while simaltaneously bidding adieu to Mr. Rumsfeld) a little more while we allow our elected officals to roll up their collective sleeves and turn their focus to a legislative agenda that benefits America's working families while at the same time cramping Bush’ s style and marring his ability to damage our country any more than he and his cronies already have.

Unfortunately… we live in 2006 and the 2008 roadshow is going to start competing for our attention (along with early-Christmas blitz), right now…

So get ready...
