My prediction of the 2012 presidential elections

It's diificult to predict a winning candidate for the presidential elections anymore.  Now a days it seems like if you want to run for president all you need is a lot of money and thick publicity.  I think that we should look back upon the early days of our democracy and remind ourselves how the founding fathers elected a president.  The people that became president back then were military leaders, intellectual in their leading, but also vocal with their voice.  The presidents were battle heroes, comrades to the soldiers, as well as an instrument to the people's needs.  Now, the we have has people like Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, and Sarah Palin who feel as though they would make good candidates as president of the United States.  I disagree with how and who can run for president and cast my vote for 2012's president to be General David Petraeus.
