Presidential Primaries 2012
It'll be here sooner than most of the reform in the new health insurance reform law, so it is time to start planning.

I know the likely Democratic nominee will be President Obama and I am going to let him have that.

But the Republican nomination is up for grabs. And now that corporations are people I thought it appropriate to select the first corporation to run for President. Tough choice but I think it should be AIPAC. Technically, maybe not a corporation, but a person nonetheless, and it would be a good opportunity for it to really come out and show us what it can do for us.

I do foresee a few bumps in the road though, like the birth certificate, of course. And some of it's friends might be classified as radicals. But I think it would be good at fund-raising. And if elected there would be no middleman between it and it's influence on our government.

I'm still open to other options and would probably consider KBR or some other good corporate citizen. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

1. AIPAC is ineligible to run for President.
Corporations might be "persons", but a foreign corporation is still ineligible.

3. Well republicans have so much trash out there you don't know
who will beat the other one down. I think it is really going to get dirty. After all those common bunch of republican candidates aren't going to let someone else run when they want to.
