This one is pretty good, considering it was January 2005:
TOO EARLY FOR REPUBLICANS TO fret about 2008? Never! Before last week's inaugural fireworks had even been lit, the handicapping of 2008 Republican hopefuls was well underway. GOP sources slice the potential '08ers into an A-list and a B-list. Here's a quick roundup of who's where, as President Bush kicks off Act Two.
First the A-listers:
* John McCain.
* Rudy Giuliani.
* Bill Frist.
* Mitt Romney.
....etc.

Of course, Phil's response was a bit far off the mark:
McCain, Giuliani and Romney are on the "A" list and Santorum isn't even making it on either lists?
Let's face reality, folks. Neither McCain, Giuliani nor Romney will be candidates for President in 2008 and if they are, they won't get far!
Hmmmm.....I should go add that to the "most retrospectively amusing comments on the GOP primary race thread".
