Ads for draftObama.org will begin airing in New Hamshire next week. Interesting. And while I'm on the subject, if Barack Obama runs, and I think it would be good for the country if he did, the race suddenly becomes a truncated sprint between Hillary, Barack, and a quickly diminished list of "alternatives" --
Bill Richardson (the Hispanic)
Evan Bayh (white guy #1)
John Edwards
John Vilsa... oh never mind...
Joe Biden
Of those, I'd say Edwards quickly rises to the top, knocking the others quickly out of the box. So what we're left with, in my opinion, is the following options:
The 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' ticket (Hillary-Obama ... for Dems who want to have their first female president and their first Black president, too...)
The 'I Love Lucy ticket' (Hillary-Richardson ... for Dems who believe the key to the White House runs through the West...)
or
The 'Miami Vice' ticket (Edwards-Obama ... for Dems who like their presidents white and male, but who savor the chance to reinvent the 1992 youth ticket...)
