The presidential hopefuls are slowing gaining steam as we plow past '06, into 07, with an eye on the big prize in '08.  Each presidential hopeful has put his/her best foot forward, but who will rise in prominence in '07, and who will become burried in baggage and scandal? If the election were held today, McCain would beat Hillary.  Will McCain's momentum slow down in '07?  Will Hillary gain momentum and pull ahead?  And what about Osama, or Obama or whatever his name is (just kidding Democrats)?  Will he prove to have something real to offer or is he just a fleeting visionary without the will or the skill to turn his dream into reality?  

What about the flavor of politics?  Will it be marked by bitter partisanship, divisiveness, vitriol, and bitter rancor, or will politicians of disparate positions work collaboratively to build a future for America? 

Personally, for what's it's worth, I'm with the Police, as they proclaimed in the song, Spirits in the Material World: "There is no political solution/to our troubled evolution..."
I may be biased, but I believe more hope is to be found in music that unites and in spiritual renewal that begins in the heart of every individual in America and around the world.  When we humble ourselves as individuals, and, as a nation, and stop trying to be our own gods, then we will truly discover a Future to Behold in '07 and beyond. 

It's time to play the game of blog n roll.  Perhaps its your first attempt of the new year.  Perhaps it's your first attempt-----period.  It's really quite simple.
