Those Fleas that Escaped Earth and Fire Died by the Cold

OK, I was asked (offline), so I'll play: Perry/Bachmann are POTUS/VPOTUS-elect, the GOP won control of the Senate too, already owning a majority of governorships and statehouses, already owning the majority of judicial appointees, and it's the first Wednesday of November 2012. Who's the Democratic front-runner for POTUS 2016?

Harry Redknapp's as good as any * (and a fool if he doesn't sell Modric).

Still, Corporate, Democratic Division, comprehensively defeated in intramural shepherding in 2012, who leads the brand back to 2008's sales numbers * ?

Antiheh. Mind, I still think Obama is reelected - so much more can be achieved with a Republican House and Republican Senate and a majority of governorships and statehouses held by Republicans and a majority of the judiciary Republican and a Democratic president than a Republican president - but it is beyond my imagination to conceive Democrats rebranding (and a Republican president is Democrats' only hope for rebranding).

Joke. Democrats will rebrand - Perry/Bachmann 2012 is the 2016 Dem ticket.

COMPLETE DESTRUCTION

William Carlos Williams

It was an icy day.
We buried the cat,
then took her box
and set fire to it

in the back yard.
Those fleas that escaped
earth and fire
died by the cold.
