(A Tale of Four Candidates)
Prediction: Mitt Romney is running for president. And, if current trends continue, he's going to win.
Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton are running as well. It's just a matter of time until all three of these future candidates announce, but in the meantime something interesting is happening to this election.
It is being determined by stealth, and the major players are world events--especially in Russia, China, and the Middle East.
In the 2008 election Hillary Clinton was the unanimous frontrunner.
But she lost the nomination because she promoted a strong, aggressive foreign policy while newcomer Barack Obama promised to get America out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Guantanamo.
This gave candidate Obama the natural lead in a war-weary nation frustrated about the lack of WMDs in Iraq.
Clinton and McCain talked aggressively about foreign affairs, but the
voters wanted to get out of world conflicts and refocus on the home
front.They voted for Obama.
In a very similar way, the next presidential election is already
gearing up. With the recent resurgence of threats from Putin and Russia,
along with continual crises in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Libya, Israel, Syria,
Palestine, and now the constant news coverage on ISIS, Americans are
increasingly seeing the need for a strong leader in the White House.
