I'm imagining this election (08) as potentially similar to Blair in the UK in '97. In other words, tonnes of Republicans/Independents repent for the last eight years, or if you want to go back further, the broader conservatism of the past decades, by going for Obama. To that end, 2012 will be the last throw for the right wing of the GOP, before they realise in 2016 that they need to moderate to win, not unlike Cameron is in the UK now. So with all that in mind, one of the more lunatic southern Senators or Governors may throw their hat in the ring, but Romney won't because he's afraid of being creamed, Huckabee won't because he's a reasonable and smart guy and won't want it, Palin won't because she'll be laughed out of every gymnasium in Iowa she goes to by then.
