I don't think that the Democrats will nominate two northern liberals in 2008.

If Barack Obama is smart, and he is smart, he will not be in a hurry to run on a national ticket. He is only 43. A more realistic time table for him might be to run for reelection in 2010 and then make a run for the presidency in 2012. That assumes, of course, that he does well in the Senate. He had a very liberal record in Illinois as a state senator. It will be interesting to see if he moves more to the center.

While I was watching the election returns last month, a sense of serenity enveloped me as I realized that Hillary Clinton is probably unelectable at a national level. Her negatives are cast in stone and she is out of synch with the middle. Just imagine the GOP turnout if Hillary is on the ticket.

Quite frankly, I don't have a clue as to who the Democrats will nominate. Hillary has to be the favorite. Kerry will probably explore the possibility of a second run and find out that no one is interested. Dean's time has come and gone. Edwards did not light up the firmament and he is going to have a hard time staying in the spotlight. Assuming he is elected governor of New York, Spitzer won't run until 2012. I would mark down Corzine as a dark horse. Shave the beard and team him up with Richardson.
