I'm from Pennsylvania and I can tell you are too.
Yes, let's think about that - in 2001, the next President of the United States LOST a congressional primary, if you go back to 1993, the second next President was a 31-year-old law professor.
I don't think ANYONE knows who the President in 2012, 2016, 2020 will be. It could be someone that doesn't even land on the political radar right now...
I just have this gut feeling though about Al Franken. I think he might be the nominee in 2016. Yes, I know, President Franken? First Lady Franni Franken? It sounds so odd...but yet, if you told someone eight years ago in my home state of Pennsylvania that a man by the name of Barack Hussein Obama would be the President in 2008, they'd say "What the **** are you smoking?".
Wouldn't write him off. Pat Murphy does have potential, but I don't think it's likely. I'm thinking he's gonna be asked to keep that Congressional seat for sometime because the GOP bench in Bucks is too deep and the Dems don't really have much of one. I would like to see Russ Feingold.
Here's my picks:
Barack Obama (D, 2009-2017)
Russ Feingold (D, 2017-2021)
George P. Bush or some moderate Republican because me think the GOP will get their heads out of their asses by then (R, 2021-2029)
