"...Think Huey P. Long...and Put Him In A Stetson..."

Today's insightful, prescient political perspective comes from a relatively unorthodox source.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

More on that in a moment.

In 2004, as George Bush was running for a second term with poll numbers than indicated a strong dislike of both his foreign and domestic policies, I remember making the following observation.

"The majority of voters obviously to want to replace George Bush....John Kerry ain't the guy."

History, in the form of the eventual election day results, bore me out.

Now, as the 2012 race come a rippin' out of the starting gate, I find myself, after just a few weeks of reading and following, (not to mention today's hammer wrapped in flag style rhetoric from the Texas governor... http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/16/news/economy/perry_bernanke/index.htm?hpt=hp_t2 ) ,moved to make the following observation.

The majority of voters obviously want to replace Barack Obama....Rick Perry ain't the guy.

We really do deserve better, incumbent and challenger.

And we have all been here before.
