Why not start looking ahead to 2008? Just like 2000, we know that the White House will be under new management beginning in 2008. What’s even more interesting is that for the first time in a long time, the nominee from the incumbent party will not be the vice president. Cheney has already said that he doesn’t want to run in 2008, and his health may have precluded him even if had the desire.

So whose names will he in the headlines come the summer of 2008? Well, it looks like the early frontrunners are Hillary Clinton and Rudy Guliani. Hmmm … haven’t I seen this fight before?

Other names polling well are John Edwards and John McCain. Actually, I bet a McCain-Edwards tickets would win in a landslide.
