Blog News Update 01/31/2005: Political Tickets 2008

I will devote todays date, which marks the end of January 2005, to a full speculation about 2008 now that January 2005 is officially over and the road to the 2008 Democratic Party and Republican Party nominations will be underway. We have to get through the 2005 and 2006 elections first, but to speculate on whom the Republicans will nominate and who the Democrats will nominate We must take time out of that and speculate. First of all, as i have posted before in a commentary here, I have noted that 2008 will be the first time since 1952 that an incumbent president nor an incumbent vice president will be seeking reelection. George W Bush will be at the end of his two full terms, and Richard B "Dick" Cheney , who has health and age problems, let alone doesnt want to succeed Bush regardless nonetheless, will also retire with Bush. Therefore, the last time this happened was in 1952, when an incumbent president (then Truman) and incumbent vice president (then Barkley) did not seek election. the Democratic Party that year nominated Illinois Governor Adlai E Stevenson II and he chose for his vice presidential running mate, John J Sparkman, and the rest is history. The Republican party that year nominated WW2 Hero Dwight D Eisenhower and he chose for his running mate, Then Senator Richard M Nixon. And the rest is history. The Republicans recaptured the White House for the first time in 24 years in apresidential election after 20 years of Democratic rule under FDR and Truman with vice presidents, John N Garner, Henry A Wallace , Harry S Truman, and Alben W Barkley. the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket won a landslide that year as the country was then comfortable with returning to Republican rule of and in the White House. Now, for 2008, Neither Bush nor Cheney is intending to seek reelection, and provided Cheney doesnt vacate the spot nor Bush by then to make way for a Republican, We will have a free openseat wide open contest for the Presidency for the first time since 1952. We might speculate alot of choices as to whom will run, but whom do you think will run? Give me your opinions in the blog today. Name the top Governors, Senators, or Representatives, as well as Celebrities or any other notable figures, that might want to seek the Presidency or thus be elevated to join the ticket for vice President with the Presidential candidates for both parties.

My picks that i would speculate for a Governor, Senator, and Representative or any other celebrity or notable figure will be speculated in the coming days after i see what my bloggers comment on.
