Let the winnowing begin.
NB–The response For the Children! is reserved for Jeff in this case. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I, Gahrie, hereby announce my intentions not to run for POTUS in 2008.
You bums aren’t worth me.
I’m not running either. It would take the opposition research team about five minutes to find something damaging on me. Ahem.
Yes?
What do you know, and when did you know it?
I will also not run.
I hate asking for money and I’ve never even supervised anyone except my kids.
I, too, will not run.
I don’t want to take the chance of being impeached for bodily throwing Helen Thomas out of the White House.
I won’t be running thanks to those ageist bastards that wrote the constitution. So unless there’s a amendment y’all are gonna have to wait a few years, and even then I probably won’t run just for spite. ;P
TW: ran55, yeah, right. I guess a lot could happen in twenty some odd years.
Frankly, I’m still deciding.
I’ve put together an exploratory committee and am visiting New Hampshire next week-end to make a well-rehearsed extemporaneous speech to a handful of bums who have been enticed into the tent on the promise of free donuts. I wanna see if this democracy thing still works.
If nominated, I will repudiate it.
If elected, I shall abdicate.
Oh, who am I kidding, I’d want to be POTUS just to see the inside of the War Room and re-enact scenes from Dr. Strangelove…
TW: I cannot88 tell a lie, unless I’m in front of a camera
Running on a platform . . . highest office in the land . . . acrophobia . . .
I just formed an exploratory committee – to determine what the take would most likely be.
If it’s under 20 mil, forget it.
I, too, shall not run. I’m not even, you know, buddies with some evil corporation (Is there any other kind?) whose war chest I could fill with taxpayer money! What’s in it for me? Seriously!
I don’t want to take the chance of being impeached for bodily throwing Helen Thomas out of the White House.
Hell, running on a platform of throwing Helen Thomas bodily out of the White House would be good for at least 20% of the vote.
Oh, I’m not running either. Bad knees.
I also will not run. Instead, I’m going to urge my supporters (both of them) to vote for Rudy.
huh,………I was thinking that that would be the only upside. Thats win-win in my opinion. But I am a glass half-full kinda guy.
I will not run for President in 2008. I have long since decided that I want to become president without having to run.
My plan starts out with persuading a sitting president to make me Secretary of State via a recess appointment…
I’m not running either. Thirty minutes on a treadmill is my limit.
Can you imagine four years without being able to tell people what you really think of them?
On second thought, I’d be impeached in a week. Does the president get paid through the end of his term regardless? CEOs get contracts.
…although a lower Cabinet post will work. It’ll just increase the overall body count, is all.
I will not run for POTUS. I may seize total executive authority in some post-apocalyptic nightmare scenario, and I might even borrow from the emotionally resonant American imperial-president iconography to make my absolute rule of fear slightly more palatable to my subjects.
But I won’t run.
Run for president in 2008?
I’d rather be dragged by my ankles, naked, through a cactus patch. The guy cleaning porta-potties has a better lot in life.
Unless, of course, you were allowed to pummel and toss reporters…BUT YOU’RE NOT!! How fucked up is that?
Most powerfull man my ass.
I’m not going to run.
I don’t think the nation is quite ready for a newly sworn in president to lower his hand after taking the oath and then turn to the AF officer holding the football and say “Time to initiate my new policy toward Iran…”
Not yet. But the day is coming.
Hell , I’m in , it’s about time for a Meadowcrat in the house .
tw : doubt62 , as in I doubt it would take 62 seconds to be DQ’d , I did inhale….
I do not have to run. Plenty of American Politicians (John Kerry, Arlen Specter, Chuck Nelson, John Hagel) will run for me. Which is a good thing, for I would have a terrible problem wiht the citizenship requirements. Of course, the natural progression of Jeralyn Merritt’s position on immigration is that citizenship requirements matter not at all. But why should I fight that battle when I don’t need to?
Can’t oblige, sorry. My platform, if I had one, would be that the world would look like a half-eaten apple, two weeks after I’m inaugurated. But that would probably balloon the deficit.
Nope. No way. Not on a bet.
Upon consideration, I’ve decided I won’t run after all–I’ll stage a coup d’etat instead. Then, with the money I’ll save on financing my campaign, I’m going to Disney World.
Would they tell a POTUS the truth about UFOs ?
Considering that “thing” with the illegal alien and the spotted owl, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.
I won’t be running. I’m pretty sure my wetsuit is no good for the Potomac.
