Very interesting.
Thanks for the ping, M2C. Something in me is reluctant to get started on 2008 so early, sigh. I know Rudy is probably the early favorite, but much can happen between now and mid-2007 when the next batch of presidential candidates will start declaring themselves. I also know a lot of the "purist" wing of the Republican Party will not want Rudy to get the nomination. But I do think he could win, especially if he selects someone like Dr. Rice as his VP choice. At this very early stage, he has my support. Who runs for what in '06 will go a long way in determining who will declare for the presidency the following year.
