Why isnt Haley Barbour on the list? I think Gov Mark Sanford might be a possibility too.

I'm surprised also that Mark Warner is not on the Demo list. It might make sense for them to nominate him. But I kind of doubt the gun hating, abortion loving lefties will go for him. Same with Evan Bayh.

I for one would LOVE to see Hillary get the nomination. Because if she gets it, there is NO WAY she will win the presidency. She will scare the pants (or, in her case, pantsuits) off mainstream voters.

I also think you're correct. Gore-Clinton in 2008, and they will lose.

You need some commentary, and since I won't vote on the DemonRAT side, I'll do some....

Hillary Clinton --- 34.1 / About 2.9 to 1 - What can be said; she's the odds-on favorite.
Evan Bayh --- 13.0 / About 7.7 to 1 - SUCKER BET! Taranto's already got his Bahy-ku set.
John Edwards --- 9.5 / About 10.5 to 1 - Pretty boys finish last.
Bill Richardson --- 8.8 / About 11.4 to 1 - He couldn't deliver New Mexico this time, which is a plus for his VP chances.
Christopher Dodd --- 6.8 / About 14.7 to 1 - The author of the provisional ballot will get some consideration.
Al Gore --- 5.7 / About 17.5 to 1 - L-O-S-E-R.
John Kerry --- 5.5 / About 18.2 to 1 - Ask Algore how successful his 2004 run was or Fritz how he never won anything after betting wiped out by Reagan in 1984.
Ed Rendell --- 5.1 / About 19.6 to 1 - Big state, has a big machine, but is he lieberal enough?
Tom Vilsack --- 5.0 / About 20.0 to 1 - No chance. Richardson without the Clintonista ties.
Joe Biden --- 4.5 / About 22.2 to 1 - He's so saddened. Oh so soddened.
Howard Dean --- 3.8 / About 26.3 to 1 - Put some covering action on him just in case Hiliary doesn't make it to 2008.
Harold Ford --- 3.1 / About 32.3 to 1 - The best thing about him is his name sounds a lot like the best Republican President a DemonRAT could ever have wished for.
Wesley Clark --- 2.7 / About 37.0 to 1 - He served his role, now he'll shut up.
Patrick Leahy --- 2.5 / About 40.0 to 1 - His only chance is if the Soviet Union returns and he can start leaking to them again.
Joseph Lieberman --- 2.2 / About 45.5 to 1 - Loserman.
Barack Obama --- 1.9 / About 52.6 to 1 - THE dark horse.

Bill Owens sounds very good.
How is he on gun control, abortion and CRIMINAL INVADERS?



"Called "the best governor in America" by National Review magazine, Bill Owens was sworn in as Colorado's 40th Governor in January 1999. He was re-elected in 2002 with the greatest majority in Colorado history, earning a broad mandate for his innovative leadership.
Gov. Owens pushed through the largest tax relief package in state history, amounting to $1 billion in cuts in rates of sales, personal-income, and capital-gains taxes, and an elimination of the marriage penalty. As a result, he has won high marks for his fiscal leadership, earning the highest grade among the nation's governors from the Cato Institute. His policies of low taxes and restrained government spending were cited as an example for other states in a lead editorial in The Wall Street Journal.

Touted as one of the major emerging leaders in American politics by The Economist magazine, Owens was also identified as one of the country's top ten rising political stars by syndicated columnist Robert Novak. He is the Chairman of the Western Governors' Association and the immediate past-Chairman of the Republican Governors' Association and the Natural Resources Committee of the National Governors' Association. Owens is a member of the Board of Governors of Young America's Foundation, which owns and runs the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California."

Evan just won relection, and gave the Keynote speech at the 2000 Dem Convention. Lately, if you watch his voting record, he has voted with the GOP and against the DEMs on many issues. He is a conservative Democrat.

I just got some inside info on exit polling data. Hillary is winning by a landslide (/sarcasm)

Evan Bayh was a fairly popular governor here in Indiana. He's voted Republican more often than Democrat during the last four years. Indiana's not Ohio, but it does have 11 electoral votes. Evan could give them to the Dems.

An 11-point swing--everything else going the same way--would give the Dems the White House.

John McCain, 21.8%
Rudy Giuliani, 17.8%

Gallup has Rudy comfortably ahead of McCain. Curious that Tradesports hasn't responded to that poll.

No it wouldn't. It would give the Republicans a 275-263 victory.

I believe Tradesports are overrating Rudy's chances. I don't care how popular he is in a poll in 2004. If he campaigned in 2008 for the GOP nomination, he would get toasted.

The man has a low ACU rating of 22 lifetime and 30 in 2002 and 2003, it's not good but high enough for a moderate Democrat

Indiana's not Ohio, but it does have 11 electoral votes. Evan could give them to the Dems.

If Indiana goes blue so does Ohio.

The man is formidable.

I can hear the Captain now... "How many of you think the government should suck up everybody's money? Show of hands, NOW! Well, you're wrong.

Money should be in the hands of people who earn it not the government, you commies. LLLeett's go!"

Did you catch the MXC episode where they did Bush/Cheney Vs. Kerry/Edwards supporters?

Funniest one I've seen yet.

Sorry, I was working on old data. I guess I had not seen the final results.
