Paris Hilton for President


To those who know me, I've been less than thrilled with our choices for President:


One one side, we have Barack Obama. He has approximately ZERO experience that applies towards being President (2 years in the Senate? Cmon, Merrill Cook was in the House for 4!), his policies started out WAAAAAYYYY out left to court Dem Primary voters, and suddenly he's shifting quickly towards the middle. Plus, he's got a following not unlike the Grateful Dead. I'm talking both passion and make-up here...


On the other side, we have John McCain. He has decades of experience in Congress, and to his credit, he's actually tried to stop government spending from going out of control...and even though he failed, he's not an earmarker for his state. He was a decorated war hero, tortured and permanently maimed for serving his country. But he's older than Reagan was, and looks more frail, and he doesn't seem to have a core political philosophy, other than being a populist. What direction would he take the country? I just don't know....


But now, a newcomer is altering the race substantially. I have my doubts about Obama and McCain and the youth vote. But Paris Hilton for President? I'm guessing 18-24 year olds turn out in droves... Plus, Paris could keep those pesky photographers at bay with the Secret Service...
