A huge part of the problem with our political process.

1. If We Believed The Corporate Media...

...we'd have already had President Mario Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Ghouliani and Jebbieboosh. It's the circle jerk season in punditry...like the off-season in sports where the "hot stove" league heats up and hours upon hours are filled with what my late father would call mental masturbation. Nothing's sexier than playing Presidential sweepstakes...it's an ego stroke for all mentioned and, again, fills up the hours of air time (plus it's far cheaper to get a bunch of talking heads circle jerking than to pay a quality investigative reporter).

I'm with you about all the games and names being thrown around out here. Besides being too early to even venture who will be running, there is an election coming up in 2014 that is shaping up to be of far more importance than 2016...and that's where the focus should be. However, this being an internet water cooler you can't stop the circle jerking...it's just too much fun for some.

Cheers...
