The irony for the Republicans is, of course, that a charismatic moderate to liberal candidate with minimal ties to Bush's policies would probably have the best chance to keep the Republicans in the White House beyond January 2009. But the party faithful themselves wouldn't stand for it.

>>If you had to bet now, the odds of one of the top three Dems getting the nomination and winning a general election are pretty good. Especially if our troop levels in Iraq don't change much and gasoline stays high.<< Dale - Ah, but will those two things happen?
