Our next President...

Allen...very plausible, especially against Hillary

I voted Republican by a large margin but I agree with DemoHawk above me. Which basically means  we have 3 good chances to win and the Democrats have 2.

Agree

Has CNN or others ever contemplated that Fox News, the NY Post, and other Republican entities are treading lightly with Hillary b/c they know she's not electable?  The party (as a whole) doesn't know how to foster a middle class or wage an effective war, but they do know electability--and know it darn well.  But we can continue to delude ourselves into thinking she can win red states (against the real candidate, George Allen).

Well said, Ben.

might claim that her defeat was just another rejection by the electorate of a “Washington Politician” attempting to ape the Republicans at their own game (it sounds bizarre but it might well be how the Liberal Left would see it).      

right, as always!

I think they are trying to paint her as a front-runner so that by 2008, everybody cringes when they here Hillary Clinton and they don't vote for her. Not that's she's going to run anyways (thank god!).

I hope she decides to stay in the Senate...forever.

I hope Hillary will stay in the Senate, Edwards will succeed Dean as DNC Chair, and Wes Clark will wait to be appointed by someone that can actually win an election, besides a three-way-tie in Oklahoma.  I just hope Kerry does anything but run for President (it's not like he'll get the nomination anyway).  I also hope Bayh and Warner work something out before they split the moderate vote.

I really think it will be Warner (currently) who wins the party nomination.  If someone else from the party rises up in the next year, he might have a challenge on his hands.  As far as Edwards taking over for Dean, that would definitely be an improvement, especially given his speaking skills.

You made my day
