DEMOCRATS 2008: the Powell/Clinton Ticket

Colin Powell for president, Hillary Clinton for vice president. Is America ready?

Colin's entire platform? "I'll clean up the mess in Iraq!" And who better to do so.

Hillary would bring in her hubby's campaign guys, you know the ones who actually know how to win a national election? No fuss, no muss there. And she would have his advice throughout.

She's the darling of a huge number of Democrats, even though she's just a Senator and has never really run anything in her life. Just being a woman, and Billy Boy's wife makes her qualified.

Powell's spent his life in the political spotlight, he's had his successes here and abroad, he's tall, he's well-spoken. He's presidential.

Regionally it's tricky. Will the South vote for a black man and a woman on the same ticket? He is an army man, and she's at least nominally from their neck of the woods. Plus she's Elvis' wife.

At least she plays as though she's from Arkansas, a good position on the map. A coule of those southern Mississippi states can be grabbed.
