I love how people are mentioning Pawlenty way down the road. Who will care about him more than 10 years from now?

Anyway, this is a stupid thread for what Gabu and Peter pointed out. In 1982 would anyone have picked the son of the Vice-President and the ex-Governor of Arkansas?

To give another example:

At the beginning of Jimmy Carter's term:
Governor of California
ex-director of the CIA
Attorney General of Arkansas

So plainly, this is a stupid thread. But considering the author of it...

This is a stupid thread for reasons already explained many times, and I don't know why people are still seriously replying. Why the hell would Huckabee still be relevant 10 years from now?

Let's go back to 1997 again and ask people who would be the frontrunners in 2008. How many would say:

-The First Lady
-A just elected State Senator from Illinois
-A wealthy trial lawyer in North Carolina
-An uninteresting backbench Senator from Tennessee just elected to his first full term.
-The mayor of NYC
-A Mormon businessman who lost to Ted Kennedy

Or go back to 1992 right after Clinton was elected and ask people who would be the next two Presidents after him? How many would predict he'd be succeeded by the son of the guy who just lost and how many would predict he would be succeeded by either:

-Clinton's wife
-An attorney at a Chicago law firm
-An unknown North Carolina trial lawyer
-A DC lobbyist and actor
-A New York federal prosecutor
-A Mormon businessman preparing a run against Ted Kennedy

See how stupid this is?
