I had to read it twice to get the Benson Dubouis joke. that is some really funny stuff.
I enjoy that a fictional character has a better shot than some reall folks, who just seem like cartoons.

I vote for David Palmer.
January 22nd, 2007 at 4:16 pm
David Palmer never seemed to keep this nation free of terror.
January 22nd, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Me!
LOL and I would take you onboard as VP Doc ha ha
I vote for Benson!
Obama is too light skin for me…how’s about a dark chocolate Brotha like Tyson Beckford!
yaooooooh

Tisha: My Vote is with Benson but my bet is with Lt Gov. Steele.
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pm
hmmm I’m going to have learn more about this “buns of Steele” guy cause if you’re supporting him there must be something there!
So Doc it’s not cause I’m into dark chocolate today that I don’t want a taste of white chocolate, come by my blog and show me some love!
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:06 pm
I’m not so much supporting Steele, I’m just betting on him. I like the odds.
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Glad we got that cleared up!
And why are you “betting” on him?
Oh weird his website is down, did you have anything to do with that?!
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Hi site may be down b/c he is no longer Lt. Gov. of Maryland. He ran for the Senate last fall and lost.
I put my money on him because at 35-1 odds, I could make some serious cash.

DUH! Sometimes I’m a total IDIOT!
I’ll stop commenting and leave some space for others!

LOL i am sitting here laughing at the above exchange
I don’t know – I think Obama hooks on with Edwards as VP before we are done.
January 23rd, 2007 at 4:30 am
I would vote for Benson Dubois but I don’t think he has the experience considering he was just a budget director for an unknown state then for a short time Lt. Governor. Put him and Gatling together and that is a ticket I would vote for. Of course I would expect Clayton to be in the cabinet.
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:21 am
My theory is that Obama and Hilary will run together and knock the socks off the Republicans!
January 23rd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Midwest: Pulling out not only “Gatling” but also “Clayton”! You are an instant Friend of Blogstein!
January 23rd, 2007 at 6:48 pm
You forgot Collin Powell at 27 to 1. I would vote for him.
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Matt, really Colin Powell I think he’s a wimp!
I want my homeboy Rudy Giuliani to run and although I am not so hot on Condi, if they team up against Obama and Hilary, wooowee!
January 23rd, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Fat Al must be worth a punt at 1000-1
January 23rd, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Dang, Matt, you’re so right! How could I have forgotten Colin Powel and Conci Rice? Horrible job by me.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Jeremy “Fat Albert” or “Fat Al Sharpton”?
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Sharpton, that well known lover of Israel – NOT
January 23rd, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Ah OK Jeremy Sharpton he’s a real sharmuta, lech lehizdayen!

Has anyone consulted Toni Morrison about this, because, according to her, Bill Clinton was our first Black president.
January 24th, 2007 at 3:03 am
geez…what happened to the formatting of this post? Yikes!
January 28th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
You forgot Flavor-flave.
Or Ronnie Coleman as the first black midget president.
You can Hear him now,
“What are you talkng about Obama?”
My vote would be on Tisha for president!
January 28th, 2007 at 8:58 pm

You mean Gary Coleman?
January 28th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
