We picked a face and personality in 2000. Don't do the same in 2008.

It's not necessary to elect a Warren Buffet. He and similar bankers, power brokers, and super-wealthy individuals already tell Senators, Representatives, and the President what they want, and they usually get it. Why would they want to bother being in politics as a public figure?

Because America is a country, not a business. Buffett is used to being able to say what he wants and getting it - that is not so as President, where you have to negotiate with a wide variety of people with differing agendas and do what the American people want.
Additionally, Buffett's strategy is very hands off. He finds companies he likes that he thinks are doing well but are undervalued. He buys them (or a large portion of them) and then just lets the company continue to work and pay him dividends and let his shares rise in value. That hands-off approach won't work well in government.

Why not Jim Cramer? or Bill Gates? How about Bill Parcells,he's a success at what he does. Ask California how they did it.
