Jonphin For Prez
Hello friends,
I am blogging to you today as the self-proclaimed first person to publically endorse my good friend JoNathan's candidacy for President of the University of Missouri-Columbia.
JoNathan is poised to assume the position soon to be vacated by Elson Floyd, who has announced his intention to accept the same position at Washington State University.
Rather than sing the praises of JoNathan myself, I now direct you to his press release, which lays out in abbreviated by intricate detail his plans for my alma mater.

In encourage each and every one of you to forward this link to everyone whom you have ever met (or at least has given you their e-mail address) so that the JoNathan revolution might gain the momentum needed to propel our man into office.
Speaking of which...not sure if you caught this by another John who I like to consider a friend of mine will also be running for President. One time North Carolina Senator, and 2004 Vice Presidential nominee, John Edwards will try for the second time to gain the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. Presidency in 2008.
You'll remember Mr. Edwards caused a splash in 2004 when, despite having relatively little experience in the political world, ran with Senator John Kerry for most of the primary season before conceding defeat prior to the National Convention. Senator Edwards went on to become Senator Kerry's running mate in the pair's unsuccessful attempt to unseat president george w. bush.
Mr. Edwards is the third Democrat to officially announce candidacy for the 2008 nomination, joining a guy I really like in Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who will entertain us with his attempt at winning the Prince Charles look-alike contest and vegan ways before departing having garnered only a handful of votes. Incidentally one of those votes will come from my pal Fuller, who much prefers ballots for the wiping of his ass to actual toilet tissue.
You know, I like John Edwards. I thought he was exciting during the 2004 primary, without going overboard like my man Howard Dean. Senators Kerry and Edwards made a stop in Jefferson City right after the National Convention and I was in the audience. It seemed like Senator Edwards breathed life into the campaign of John Kerry, who up to that point had been seen as the "safe" candidate and therefore the choice of many Democrats.
But I gotta tell you John, you don't have much of a chance. Before too long we're going to see other more prominent Dems enter the field. You still won't be able to beat John Kerry. You probably can't beat Senator Joe Biden. You'll probably have a tough time Senator Chrisopher Dodd and Governor Vilsack. And those are just the lightweight candidates. You have zero chance in hell of knocking off Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. And finally, your toughest opponent is the John Edwards of 2008. Senator Barach Obama will be running as a one-term senator, just like you did, but he has infinitely more buzz around him than you did four years ago. He also has that....let's call it that "new America" thing going for him too.
To sum things up for you John, Barack Obama will be running with more poltical experience than you(having served in the Illinois Congress and being a current U.S. Senator), he'll have more political juice than you (a best selling book recently hit shelves and did you notice who stole the show at the National Convention which nominated you for the Vice Presidency?) and he's a minority...which will count for a great deal.
So Johnny, it's nice to see you're still out there trying to get things done, but I predict my pal JoNathan has a better shot in his run at presidency than you do.
But you will kick Dennis Kucinich's E.T.-looking ass....so at least you'll have that going for you.

It should be noted that I have met Kucinich and am not his biggest fan....at least not as a politician. Actually, he is a solid Rep. but would be a horrible president. Just for the record.
