Rice is extremely intelligent and understands how to get things done, but she has a lot of [racist] negative press to overcome.

I think Hillary's time has passed. She might not even get re-elected to the senate! (I still don't understand how she successfully carpet-bagged.)

Cheney will not run. He has said so every time he has been asked. He doesn't want the big office...he wants to retire and have a few beers and chicken wings before his heart gives out.

John McCain. I still can't understand why the left loves him so much. He's a real conservative at heart--he's just broken with party lines on some key (but not core) issues.

I think we'll probably see Frist in the primaries. He impresses me as a nice guy who has become distanced from real people--much like GHWB. That won't play well in the media.

I know Blagojevich's original plan was to sit quietly in Springfield (well--Chicago) for four years and then run for president, but he's proven completely inneffective even though his party has firm control of this state.
