Countdown to Election Day 2012

This kind of reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons when Milhouse was given a one million dollar cheque by Bart, that would be cashed in 50 years time or something. Milhouse then stares at his watch.

[Mr. Morden]

Believe it or not, we are a mere ~18 months from most of the eventual candidates having declared their candidacy (or at least, announcing exploratory committees......which is as good as an announcement of candidacy in most cases).  Last time, I think all of the eventual candidates from both parties (except Fred Thompson) had already at least announced exploratory committees by the end of February 2007.

You should set closer goals to countdown.

I actually think they will announce thier candidacies even earlier this time, maybe at the end of 2010. 2008 was a milestone in US Election campaigns, with the internet playing quite a big role in it, and the internet will almost certainly be bigger and more used in 2 years time. Does anyone know when Bush announced his intention to run for re-election in 2004, out of interest?

2010 - Football World Cup, UK General Election (probably), my last few months of school, US Midterm Elections.

2011 - Start of US Presidential Election campaign

2012 - US Presidential Election and Primaries, London Olympics, Euro 2012

It's going to be a very exciting three years for me.
