Ill. Sen. ***** weighs White House run - Yahoo! News
He's thinking about it !! Finally, a political candidate to get excited about!

I love him, but unfortunately to win the election, he needs the male southern vote- and sadly, he won't get it.
Oh! When I first saw the title of this thread I read: OSAMA in '08. Needless to say I was alarmed.
Never mind. Carry on.
I adore him, but I think he should wait till 2012. I'm really torn on this. He told the people of Illinois (we lived there till May) he'd serve his full term as senator. He's still young.
I agree with you that he's a special man and seems like the type to work with others and not just put politics ahead of everything.
I'm in Illinois too, and though I do relish the idea of having a politician in office who's not a crook (we're running awfully low on those in Illinois), I'd support him in '08. I think if he doesn't get the nomination in '08 it will be Hillary, and I don't think Hillary can win. Not that I wouldn't LOVE to see a woman president, but she's such a politico (politica?) and I think she's going to have trouble winning over the country. And I shudder to think of another ********** administration, especially since the incumbent will run again in 2012 and most likely win (as incumbents do). So even though 2012 might be ideal, I would rather have him run in a year without an incumbent candidate.
