The next three U.S. Presidents

[Reaganfan]

Your guess on the next three U.S. Presidents?

[Reaganfan]

I have the list...

2009-2013: John McCain
2013-2017: Barack Obama
2017-2025: Tim Pawlenty
2025-2029: Barack Obama
2029-2037: Michael Naso

It looks as if Hillary Clinton would almost certainly become our next president.  With the front-loaded primaries (which favor candidates with immense financial support, i.e. Hillary), and her juggernaught of establishment support as well as her appeal to women hungry to see someone with a uterus taking charge in the Oval Office, combined with the fact that Iraq is inextricably tied to the Republican Party, I am almost resigned to seeing Hillary Clinton take the oath of office on January 20th, 2009 as our 44th president. 

I hope American's understand that this is Hillary and not Bill.

What about this?

John McCain (2009-2013)
Barack Obama (2013-2017)
Bob Riley (2017-2025)

[Reaganfan]

Realistic one:

Hillary Clinton (D), 2009-2012
Mike Huckabee (R), 2013-2016
Mike BeeBe (D), 2017-2025

4 Arkansas Presidents in 32 years? I think not.

Hillary wouldn't be an Arkansas President. She was born in Illinois, lived in Arkansas, moved to Washington, D.C., then carpetbagged to New York.

How about this one?

(2009-2013) President Hillary Rodham Clinton
(2013-2021) President Bobby Jindal
(2021-2025) President Norm Coleman

I always find it mildly amusing how people seem to assume that three presidencies down the road, we'll still be tossing around the politicians we have today.

As I said earlier in this thread, why not put yourself in the shoes of somebody in 1967, and try and predict the next three presidents.  If you guessed: a Vice President who left office six years previously; the House Minority leader; and some hick state legislator from Georgia; you win a prize!

Of course, a whole bunch of other years could be picked and you'll find the same effect.

If someone had told me in 1997 that that new governor of Texas with no prior political experience whatsoever was going to beat Al Gore in 2000, I would have thought that that person was crazy.

See, things may have been different where you lived. Around my neighborhood in Ohio, it was all about George Bush...George Bush...the Governor of Texas and son of President Bush. By the time November 2000 came around though, my town leaned Gore.

(2009-2013) Barack Obama/Bill Richardson
