Theos-Talk Archives (September 2008 Message tt00262)

That's why I was asking for people's idea for the next president. I
want people nominated who aren't on the list of the top dogs. People
who aren't that obvious, but doing great. Someone in their late 40's
or early 50's. In seven years I'll be early 40s. Is that old enough? I
don't think the paper trail would suit me at any age.
