I find it very difficult to believe that anyone is a bigger target for assassination right now than Dubya. But if conspiracy theories are what floats yer boat...

It might be well to remember that Jesse Jackson was the Democratic front runner in February 1988...he is still alive and kicking. So I see no reason why a good corporate Democrat like Barak won't be too, for some time to come.

It does look like Obama has it sewn up, and it is time for me to be handed my slice of humble pie. I had a bet going with my husband he'd never go the distance against Clinton. However, he reminded me that Bill Clinton spoke as the darling annointed one at the Dem Nat'l Convention 4 years before he received the nomination too, just like Obama.

So far, the only truly 'historic' president remains JFK--the only Catholic to ever be elected. Think about that one for awhile folks, if you think religion is no big deal. The only leaders we have ever known, outside JFK, have been WASPs.
