2008 is pivotal - especially since Hillary has her eye on it. And frankly, when one looks at their talent bench, she's probably all they've got.

You also have the Laut in a VERY bad position---coaxed out of his cushy retirement on promises of chairmanships. He is OLD (and thus, his health is suspect) and he lacks energy and now, motivation. I won't be surprised if he announces "sudden family issues" that demand his attention, and he will resign after January, allowing McGreedy to appoint a younger, more viable candidate.

Assuming Bush gets re-elected and the house remains republican. With the repubs in total control for the last 6 years they will have no excuses. They will have to take credit for everything wrong with the country in 2008. They should also get credit for everything right with the country at that time. If the Republicans don't have the majority of the people happy in 2008, Hillary could actually end up president. This should be interesting to watch. Only my own amatuer opinion of course.
