''Presidential possibilities in 2008''

Eager to distract myself from the current occupant and the harsh realities the rovians create, I am succumbing to this exercise in long-term punditry from the Baltimore Sun: "Howard Dean (D) Recently won national party chairmanship on pledge not to run in '08, but such promises are often and easily broken, see Clinton, Bill, 1992. New job lets him touch base of party throughout the country, where die-hard supporters from flamedout '04 run keep hope alive." Not surprisingly they say Hillary is the "Early Leader" and Dr. Frist is the only rovian they don't have something to say "but" about, unless you count "wants to be heartthrob of social conservatives."
