Prior to last year this news would have excited me. Now after flirting with the idea of running again for Governor here and not doing it and flirting with the idea of running for the US Senate and not doing it, it does nothing for me.
Also his not knowing the Iraqi government is already working on an oil revenue-sharing plan with their country's regions and the fact that he thinks Alberto Gonzales should be fired, both make me question whether Tommy's time has come and gone. He holds no special appeal to me as a Presidental candidate. He would do better to stay in private industry.
