I wish I could think this, but I just don't know who the Dems have right now. I mean, Hillary?
We need to quit dicking around with senators and find a governor.
Any good Democratic governors spring to mind?
Dawn ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Obama has said repeatedly that he will not run in '08 and, this may be naive, I believe him.
I think Gen. Clark will likely run.
I think Hillary is the Dem's default candidate right now, but I sure hope they find somebody else. Nothing the Republicans could do would mobilize their base more than Hillary. The Right seems to think she's the antichrist.
No, no, no. The early candidate never lasts. Too much time to dig the dirt, for them to be live on television yelling like a crazy person.
ETA: By which I mean, I hope people don't start whispering now about candidates they actually LIKE, but start drawing attention to people who probably can't win the nomination-- Hilary Clinton, say.

This. I know big chunks of the Left like the idea, but I think it would be political suicide.

Completely agree.
What about Bill Richardson from New Mexico?

I'm not sure sure about the left liking Hillary anymore -- she's been centerizing herself pretty effectively. A lot of people I know are pissed off at her.
I've heard Joe Manchin of West Virginia mentioned, don't know jack about him though.
I think a Hillary Candidacy is a myth from the right that she might believe.

I sure hope he doesn't. I want that man fixing this country for YEARS. If he's President now his politcal life ends in eight years and it's easier to treat him like a token while he's in office.
