Democrats in 2008

[Erc]

Dean is making another run.  Heard him speak in late September, and it certainly seemed like he was still interested.  The scary thing is, he has a chance if Bush's second term goes to hell in a handbasket and Hillary doesn't run--and he's worse now than he was this cycle...his rhetoric has gotten worse than some of the Democratic trolls on this board (not opebo, or I'd really be running for the hills).

And now for a select line from Dean's talk (admittedly, to an overwhelmingly liberal audience):

"There are no moderate Republicans."

Hillary is going to make a run unless she loses her Senate seat.

Hmmm...should I vote for her in '06 to make sure that happens???





Nah.

Looking at it now with nearly a month of perspective from the elections...

Barring some weird sequence of events in the next four years, it's going to be a centrist.  The only person who has  a chance of peeling it away from the Bayh/Warner-esque candidate is Hillary (and she has a pretty good chance of doing that too).  If many of these candidates fizzle or don't run (and I expect many of them to do just that)...who knows.

But it's all idle speculation until November of 06 anyway.
