Oh Bill and I where so broke when we left the White House.

I remember when they left and all the talk on the news they where taking anything that wasn't nailed down. Now I know why, she felt broke

Seems to me I remember all the news reports of renting out rooms in the White House. Now I know why, she felt broke.

She is so broke.....I doubt she'll run, it dose't pay enough

Don't give up your day job Dan. You pretty much blow chunks as a comedian. <grin>

From a pure popularity standpoint based on recent polls...Joe Biden. Joe has his gaffes...but I have a hard time identifying something Joe Biden has said that I disagree with.

Here's a reasonable list:

Although I would have thought Elizabeth Warren should have been on such a list...and near the top, actually.

Positive attributes do not win elections anymore IMO. It's the negatives and who can mount the most negative ads and who can survive the onslaught.
Then there is the question of who wants to put up with it.

I agree...however, I'm reluctant to blame politicians for the negative campaigning. The only reason why it works is because the ignorant and gullible American electorate is too busy pounding brews and watching football games to take a few minutes to understand any policy issues...so namecalling, fingerpointing, and chunk-spewing attack ads rule.

We get the government we deserve.

It is an insult to one's intelligence when swift boats and plumbing are the burning issues of the day. I did enjoy Palin for VP campaign.

I suggest that we get the kind of government the states below the Mason Dixon line foist upon us. What person(s) in their right mind would elect pea brains like Jeff Sessions or Lindsay Graham or turtleman

Sorry Rob...but I must disagree. Southern states are certainly a problem...but I'm not ready to excuse Minnesota for Bachmann, Ohio for Portman, Indiana for Coats, Iowa for Grassley, New Hampshire for Ayotte (ACK!), Pennsylvania for Toomey, and Wisconsin for Ryan, Walker and that idiot Ron Johnson...etc., etc. The same peaheads who would elect these.

It's way too soon. All you're measuring in polls now is name recognition.
