Dear Gore & Edwards, can I get a lemon in my Corona?

Dear Al Gore & John Edwards, can I get a lemon in my Corona?

The 2008 presidential season is apparently upon us, aspirations will be run up the flagpole, exploratory committee's will be formed, and without an incumbent in either major party, we could very well be looking at a free for all.

Will the democratic primary run, be so bloody, as to render the eventual democratic nominee impotent? Or will the republicans beat each other so badly, that no one really survives? And will the press even care, because a blonde college student has gone missing in eastern Kazahka? Well, I have no clue about any of this.

The one thing I am planning on, is to be in the thick of it in '07 working to elect a democratic candidate for State Assembly or State Senate here in New Jersey (hopefully defeating an incumbant republican). All the while keeping in mind that my good friend Tom Wyka will be having a second go at challenging republican incumbant Rodney Frelinghuysen in New Jerseys 11th CD.

But overall there is one truth I hold onto. That we, as human beings, as democrats, are capable of far better things than we have shown recently. I hold dear to me the idea, that as brothers and sisters, we will walk forward, holding the light of social and economic justice, the light of civil rights, high for all to see.

As Franklin D. Roosevelt said in the darkest days of the Great Republican Depression:

"If we cannot do this one way, we will do it another way. But do it, we will."

This very day there are 2 men, 2 names that bear national stature, who have stood for what is right, for what is better, who export hope and not fear. I give you Al Gore & John Edwards, and the germ of an idea.

Just imagine the generic american family, having Christmas dinner. Aunt Tillie is passing the cranberrys to Uncle Harry when this racous noise interrupts. Like Ghostbusters crashing your Christmas dinner..

CRASH . . Booom ... bang... the door bursts open... 2 men dressed in overalls step thru..
