My buddy Fec has his own theory about the "electability" of our current dozens of candidates for POTUS.  Boiled down all he’s saying is that if you can’t be elected to the local volunteer fire department you can’t be elected POTUS.  Here’s his rundown of the current candidates:

John Edwards – not a chance.

Hillary Clinton – sorry, no women allowed.

Barak Obama – sorry, no blacks allowed.

Al Gore – too fat.

Joe Biden – too stupid.

John McCain – vets are an automatic.  Besides, he’s been around.

Newt Gingrich – too geeky.

Mitt Romney – sorry, no Mormons.

Bill Richardson – sorry, no wetbacks.

Chris Dodd – sorry, too old.

Dennis Kucinich – too boring.

Duncan Hunter – lead pipe cinch.

Mike Huckabee – a fiscal conservative from Arkansas.  Yeah, he’s in.

Tom Tancredo – Good on his feet.  He’s in.

Rudy Giuliani – are you kidding me?  The guys are soiling themselves at the prospect.

I think Fec’s on to something, and I’ll take his opinion over Russert’s any day.
