President Ford's passing reminds me of an incident during the 1979 Red Zinger race when he was slated to be the honorary starter of a criterium in Vail, Colorado. I was one of the officials and was designated to oversee that operation. However I remembered that there had been two assassination attempts on him while he was in office. It therefore occurred to me that if I were to walk up to him and pull out the starter's pistol that I might find myself full of holes.
I worked out a plan to place the gun in a paper bag and give that to him so the he could pull it out. As it turned out, he chose not to interrupt his golf game and was a no-show, so I shot the gun with impunity.

My cousin, who is getting a phd in polisci, and I were talking about the 2008 election and the Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama situation in the Democratic primaries.
My cousin was concerned that Obama's life would seriously be at risk from far-right white supremecist loonies if he got the nomination. I pooh-poohed the notion, but . . . . it's true. There are some wackos out there.

Then they should run together...if they win the same whacko is probably gonna be "none too happy" with a woman for Pres. either...kind of a counter balance to each other.
Furthermore, if the Dems keep the house in 2008, and that loony managed to take out both Clinton & Obama, then we'd have Nancy Pelosi (a woman whose constituency makes her pro-gay on just about every issue) as President. It would be a lose, lose, & lose again situation for the nutjobs.

The words of Raymond Babbitt, who was speaking to the number of face cards left in the deck during a game of blackjack, are applicable to the number of loonies willing to whack Obama, Clinton, and Pelosi.

Plenty more.
Actually it was,"Lots of them". ;-)
My scenario is based on a one time attack...that's pretty much all I can envision. There are many people worldwide who would kill Bush the first chance they had, yet the closest incident I can remember was the handgrenade they found at some event in Eastern Europe.
Security is so tight around the President these days, I don't see many successful assasination attempts happening in the future.

Were you dressed like Squeaky Fromme?
It's little known that Squeaky Fromme was not in 70s-era hippie garb, but was actually wearing a blue blazer on that fateful day, which maybe explains how she got so close to Ford before being tackled.
-- http://costofwar.com/ - Hang Saddam right after Bush and Bliar - United Arab Emirates (UAE) Central Bank Governor Sultan Bin Nasser al-Suwaidi announced today that the UAE will switch 8% of its foreign-exchange reserves from U.S. dollars into euros before long.. Now China, Russia, Italy Switzerland, Sweden, Qatar, New Zealand and UAE are all diversifying away from the dollar.
The value of euro notes in circulation is this month likely to exceed the value of circulating dollar notes, according to calculations by the Financial Times. Converted at Wednesday’s exchange rates, the euro took the lead in October.
The key U.S. manufacturing sector is expected to be hit hard next year, heightening fears a recession is now much more likely than many economists had expected.

Interesting to observe that some of the right-wing and Republican go-to people [1] are suddenly finding it worthwhile to use Obama's middle name: Hussein. Why don't they use McCain's middle name?

Where's Rove then ? Preparing a tv ad where Obama is called Ossama ?
I'm scared of that obama dude but hilary is far worse. I' rather have a black man than her be president but there has to be a better candidate than them out there

Well, they need to talk to Dan Quayle about that. He'll put a stop to that. Ol' J. Danforth had pretty some strong opinions on the subject.

Condi Rice.
My nightmare candidate is Ambassador McKinney, but she probably has less of a shot at the presidency than Jennifer Granholm*.
ObBike: I'm pretty sure Obama could easily win a cyclocross race among all likely presidential candidates, though I have no doubt if W. were a candidate, he'd drop Barack like Bart Wellens facing an all-American 'cross pack.
*This is a very funny joke, as political wonk jokes go. I won't spoil the punchline. Wikipedia will, though.

Rove's the puppetmaster. They've gotta be careful though. I think Obama's clean enough, a good story, and "middle america" enough that smearing him could backfire big time. Hillary would be a gift to Rove and co. though. Bill C
