Liddy Dole will suffer the same quick fate for her campaign if she ran in 2008 as she did in 2000. I can't picture Rice giving stump speeches, and I don't think she'd go for it. Pataki and Frist will be good picks. McCain will be old in 2008, I'm not sure if he will go for it again.

Picking Santorum, brings a huge counterweight to Bush and the republicans, a loss of secular America, making the country even more polarized.

If the republicans have a power struggle between 2 or more establishment candidates, a young hotshot will triumph. The question is which candidates will the party sponsor. Pataki, Giuliani, Frist, or Powell?

You do realize that if Edwards is not Kerry's VP pick he will not have much of a storyline for 2008. He will be a retired one term senator and an already failed presidential candidate. He will have to campaign like Reagan did in 80' for years before the race.

We need two generally unknowns who get the nominations. For examples: WHO WOULD WIN?

Gop: Mike Huckabee/Robert Riley
Dem: Robert Byrd/Kent Conrad
President Huckabee or President Byrd?

Gop: Katherine Harris/John Hoeven
Dem: Thomas Carper/Bob Wise
President Harris or President Carper?

Gop: Rick Perry/Robert Ehrlich
Dem: Phil Bredesen/Byron Dorgon
President Perry or President Bredesen?


I don't know the last set, but Byrd is too old to get the nomination. I met Tom Carper at a restaurant (Wolf Blitzer was there as well) where he was campaigning for Lieberman, and he seemed like a nice guy, but being from Delaware, and being a typical aging senator just doesn't cut it, but if he did get the nomination he'd beat Harris, unless America evolved into a mental asylum.

She couldn't become the establishment pick though, hence no nomination for her.

Assuming she has some opposition she won't win NH or Iowa. I can't imagine her giving a stump speech.

That would be a great ticket, but I'm not sure if McCain would give it another shot.
