Thank you for the response, I appreciate you clarifying your views on her. Its so early on that anything can happen. Who knows, maybe Bernie Sanders will be an option? If 2008 shows us anything it's that unexpected candidates can go the distance. I was sure that Jon Edwards would be our next president. -How wrong could I have been about his trajectory?

Definitely true, I hope he does, and I hope he runs on an actual Independent ticket (though, that will handicap him a bit). I also really hope the Republican party finds a juggernaut that's actually serious about real issues. The last Presidential election felt meaningless to me.

Edwards, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. I can't imagine being Kerry's running mate helped him at all, even without the trouble he ended up getting in. As much as I like Kerry, he really isn't an exciting speaker (I'm glad I wasn't paying attention for Bush v. Kerry, it must have been miserable for the ears).
