I hadn't yet counted out Andrew Cuomo until I found out he was living with Sandra Lee (as in semi-homemade)....uh, VOMIT! I can't stand the thought of her as First Lady, or First Friend, or whatever. She makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs w/ my own thumbs.
Biden is a possibility I wouldn't count out.
Martin O'Malley is pretty strong.
Really, the Dems have a pretty viable list of possibilities in addition to Hillary. The GOP has NO ONE. This one is ours to lose.

Yes, change them BUT be sure the sites have the patch in place or you will have to go change them again.

When Bush was in office there was a small book that came out of his biggest 'vocabulary' flubs ( we all "mis-underestimated him) and some of the more ridiculous quotes. My daughter was in high school and was astounded at his stupidity. We bought her that book for Christmas as a joke.
When they were talking about building his presidential library she was so upset. She said, "That man should NEVER have a LIBRARY. He can't even put a cohesive sentence together."

Go regardless of the PS status. You are not likely to be the most hideous looking person there.

Forget the gun talk, we need to start a thread about swords!

Oh, I understood that it was an attempt at humor. What I didn't understand was the point of "joking" in that fashion about a prospective candidate whom you claim you like and would vote for. Sorry if I wasn't more clear in my previous post.
Oh, and also, I take issue with the idea that it's rampant mental illness that's causing the majority of gun homicides in this country. Joe Hill isn't and wasn't mentally ill. Neither was George Zimmerman, Michael Dunn, Theodore Paul Wafer or Raul Rodriguez. The majority of gun homicides in this country aren't the mass shootings that capture the headlines, it's the steady flow of one-on-one violence. Out of nearly 11,500 gun homicides each year, only a small percentage of them are mass shootings (mass shooting defined by the FBI as more than four people killed at the same time.)
The statistical rate of gun casualties is actually dropping. However, the rate of gun suicides is increasing.
Yes, I think the availability of effective mental health care would help. But what it would do most is to decrease the number of people who take their own lives with guns. It wouldn't have much of an impact on gun homicides.
Solutions? I don't have 'em. I don't have enough in-depth knowledge of the issues to come up with any. Like I've said, my gut feeling is that we're just too steeped in and accepting of violence, and any change has to address that issue.

Scarier is that the Governor is thinking of running for the White House, again.
