I love this election year.  Hillary won in NH despite being behind in every pole conducted in the entire civilized world.  What does this mean you ask?  It means that it is still the voters, not the pollsters who matter.

I am a political junky.  I am also a registered Republican.  However, I am following both parties closely at this time.  Who do I think should be the next president? At heart, I am also a South Georgia redneck so I always ask if the person would make a good fishing buddy.

Well, on the republican side I'd have to go with Huckabee or McCain.  Both would make good fishing buddies, likely they have some good stories and I am sure both drive a truck from time to time--a little redneck in the mix.  Mitt is too preppie.  I suspect he would hire someone to do his actual fishing and then take credit for the fish caught.  Rudy only wants to talk about his role in 9/11 (though it was important).  I am afraid I would become board with him in a hurry.

On the democratic side, Hillary is too high maintenance to take fishing—however husband Bill would have some great stories! Obama seems nice, but is more theory than experience.  I suspect he would likely try and form a committee to determine where to fish, how to fish, and if the fish could be kept or must be released.    That leaves Edwards and Richardson.  Edwards is a southerner, but seems angry at everyone.  Fishing with him wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience.  Plus, if he slips in the boat, he may sue.  Richardson on the other hand seems down to earth. 

In conclusion, I'd support Huckabee, McCain or Richardson.
