Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission this week that takes him one step closer to running for president. Giuliani Moves Nearer to White House Run
For those looking forward to the respite in all things political from the lead-up to this month’s elections, you’re in for a rude 24 months. Indeed, the campaign checks from 2006’s gubernatorials have yet to be cashed and the race for the White House has already begun. This may seem anachronistic to some, but for all those involved, if you’re not sprinting now, you’re not winning in 2008.
Why? It’s simple. 2008 will be the most contested Presidential race in recent history. With a vice president not running and no spectacular names in mix (e.g. Eisenhower), it’s as good a chance as any for relocating to the Oval Office.
And I, like those now campaigning, am already working the crowd of Presidential hopefuls. Whose got my vote you ask? Barack Obama.
The Des Moines Register Obamamania!
