I'm not eligible until 2024.
So I'm running 2024. How I figure it, that should be the best time for me to run anyway. I feel that I can bring the change America will need in 2024.
See, President-Elect Obama is bringing change in 2009. Then people are going to love that change so much, the American people will re-elect him in 2012. In 2016, people will be tired of Democrats in the White House - because the last time one party held the White House for three consecutive terms was in the Great Depression under the Official Republican Whipping Boy: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. So that means a Republican in 2016. People will give that president the benefit of the doubt (by the way, the next Republican president is - and I'm calling this now in all of my professional political analysis opinion - hey, if Sean Hannity can be called an analyst, why can't I? He doesn't have any more reason to analyze than I do - but anyway the next Republican president - well I'm not going to tell you. You're not ready to hear it. But I will give you a hint: he's a young man, who isn't yet age-eligible, and he's not from the south. Yes ladies, he.) and re-elect him in 2020. But then in 2024, they won't want another Republican and that's why the Democrats will win.
But why will I win the primary battle in 2024? Well it won't be an easy road. And I don't want it to be. My election campaign - if the current, ever-expanding length of the elections continue - will probably begin in 2016. But it will be worth it. I'll travel to all 57 states, campaigning as completely as I can. I'll mobilize huge masses of people to get my message of a new, smaller, smarter, cleverer government and - of course - lower taxes. I'll make taxes so low that revenue goes exponentially higher due to the rapid economic explosion. How's .1% sound to you guys? But back to the primary: Some old governor from Virginia will be the front-runner, but I'll hit him hard (but politely and gently - but hard, nonetheless) and win. It will be the biggest upset since Stanford beat USC at USC back in 2007.
Anyway, don't forget to vote in the runoff on December 2nd for Sara Doyle and a guy who served America in Vietnam and then Georgians in the State House in the 90s, Jim Martin.
And don't forget me in 2024.
Weintraub for America
(It should be noted that I'm in no way serious about any of this - except the line about the runoff.)
-Edit:
I apologize for historical falsitude: I completely forgot about the presidential elections in the eighties: President Reagan won reelection in 1984 and then President George HW Bush won in 1988, so that means the Republicans held the White House for three consecutive terms, but as I pointed out, that is not the norm. That was the first time since the Great Depression. And, it should be noted, the Republican hold was twenty years ago. President Clinton won decisively in 1992.
