Funny, none of those 2008 predictors mention Kerry who may be the real frontrunner. I see fast-sliding interest in Hillary, Guliani, McCain, Allen, Jeb Bush, Bayh and Gingrich, which leaves Warner, Romney and Kerry, plus a bunch of also-rans and Gore who is not running, though I suppose he could change his mind. Ditto Jeb Bush. And forget about Frist, Condi Rice, John Edwards and Bill Richardson. Some of them are VP choices maybe but I like Wes Clark best for VP since a lot of military clean-up will be needed. Biden is fairly strong, but he's like Kerry without the military record and the money. Feingold may win the left, but he's only a power-broker. Besides, if the Dems take back congress the war will be over or all but over by 2008.

The talking heads this weekend were all pretty much stating that McCain is likely to take the Republican nomination. That's about the only person the Republicans can nominate that will actually have a chance in 2008. Bad news for the Democrats, but certainly not a knock out punch either. McCain is not well liked by rightwingers, despite his relatively conservative voting record, and will have trouble exciting the Republican base. Hillary Vs. McCain is a really hard matchup to figure.
