You guys are going to have to get it through your head that a bunch of no-names or favorite sons aren't going to win their party's nomination.

You're crazy to believe this.

Like who?

It's going to go to one of the big names like Bush or Clinton, people who actually have the money and press.

John Kerry had to take take out second mortgage on his house to stay in the race.  Ill admit that you need money to win, but money is not everything.

I'm going to bring this post up when that "no-name" Bayh beats Hillary for the nomination.

The only thing that worries me about Bayh is something like a burnout factor.  He will be hyped up for so long that come election time people will be tired of hearing about him and look for someone new.

But I can gaurantee when our elections have been as close as they have been, and with the way people are...we won't nominate someone we know nothing about...if we have the choice.

After two years of campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire people will get to know candiates like Bayh, Warner, Richardson, etc. very well.

OK, with the discussion about name recognition and for the sake of argument.

Who would win in a Boxer vs. Rice 2008 showdown? That would be awesome.

Dr. Rice would stomp Barbara Boxer.  I dont understand this whole Barbara Boxer movement.  I would vote for John Ashcroft before I voted for her.

Jeb Bush/Bill Owens 342 EV
John Edwards/Bill Richardson 196 EV

Um, New Mexico goes to Edwards/Richardson.  Other than that I agree.
