Oh Man! Another Dole-like race on the horizon!
Hopefully not as there won't be an incumbent thus both wannabes will have a more even playing field imo. Now that doesn't mean the selected candidates will be anymore exciting than Dole.
The one thing I think that will resemble the democrat chase in 04 is the parade of wannabes on both sides leading up to the first few primaries.... Both parties will have a stage full at each event.
