Some Democrats are already making moves... (2008)

I'm not going to discuss the merits of the individual candidates here, because there is any number of other threads on this board dedicated to that subject.

As for them making moves at these early stages, that's really to be expected.  I would have said that starting early usually helps a candidate's case, but I've just thought about it and actually, it really doesn't.  Just look at Gary Hart, Joe Lieberman, John McCain, Bill Bradley, and of course, Howard Dean.  They all started their campaigns long before most others, and all ran into the sand in the end.

Gore and Kerry can run all they want, but they're both damaged goods.  The Democrats aren't stupid enough to make that mistake.
