I think this guy (Phil Bredesen) is the next Dem presidential candidate. As the governor of Tennessee, he could be there next Bill Clinton.

There is only one force on Earth capable of preventing Sen. Hillary Clinton from winning the White House in 2008 - and her name is Condoleezza Rice
That is the thrust of a new book by former Bill Clinton adviser-turned-nemesis Dick Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann. A copy was obtained by the Daily News.
In "Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race," Morris and McGann paint a potential presidential catfight as a struggle between good and evil - and New York's junior senator is wearing the black hat.
"There is one, and only one, figure in America who can stop Hillary Clinton: Secretary of State Condoleezza 'Condi' Rice," they write.
If elected, Clinton would "reinvent what we have called the secret police to destroy those who stand in her way."
"Hillary has a sense of entitlement that leaves her vulnerable to the temptations of financial misconduct," they write.
Clinton is not just "untested" by crisis, the authors write, but the former First Lady is a crybaby who "often succumbs to tears in times of adversity."
By contrast, Rice "never needed to exaggerate her record or credentials" and is an even better Christian than Clinton, according to the authors.
"Hillary has been embroiled in scandal after scandal, ever since she entered public life," they write. "In stark contrast, Condi's past is without blemish."
The authors also argue that Rice's chances would be better because she is single.
They even make this claim: "Her success has never been a matter of hitching her wagon to the political fortunes of any powerful man."
But a few pages later, they undermine their own argument by noting that Rice and President Bush are on a "shared journey" and that one of her political patrons was the first President Bush.
Morris, who was President Bill Clinton's political guru until a high-priced hooker revealed his toe-sucking fetish, has made a second career out of bashing the Clintons.
Sen. Clinton, who is running for reelection, declined to discuss the Morris book or the next presidential contest.
"Senator Clinton remains focused on being the best senator she can be for the people of New York," her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said.
Morris isn't the only Fox News fulminator with a book out about Sen. Clinton. Susan Estrich's "The Case for Hillary Clinton" is a Valentine to the former First Lady.
Pretty much says it all...
Dick Morris has to rely on dire predictions about the Clintons to maintain his appearances on cable talk shows. Take with a grain of salt.
better Christian than Clinton? No......!
Pro-aborts and uber-RINOs. Guess we know where you stand ...
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the early polls. Right now, they are just name recognition. Now were a new face of conservatism rise, perhaps with respect to immigration and fiscal conservatism, that person might stand a chance.
I love democrats that keep telling republicans how to vote, what to believe. Between he and Hannity it is amazing how little the people know.
For Christ sake...Hillary in the Whitehouse, as anything other than a tour guide, is merely a wet dream of the whacko libs and the media that supports them.
Her being POTUS is not going to happen.
Lowered!
I sincerely doubt it. Just run a conservative, any conservative and watch what happens!
(rummaging..)
(looking for glasses..)
(mumbling to self..)Now, where to find a conservative?
What people? You mean these people or those people? We the people? We only know what our late night commedy talk show hosts tell us and if you can't sing and you can't dance. You need not apply.
If Rice would repudiate the Council on Foreign Relations, resign her membership and denounce the planned North American Community, I might vote for her.
"There is only one force on Earth capable of preventing Sen. Hillary Clinton from winning the White House in 2008..."
FreeRepublic is just that force.
Cause all the men and women in the South who wouldn't vote for Jeffin Kerry would vote for her heinous?
While I admire your steadfastness, it is not out of the question for her to win.
We can all agree that she has the Dem nod all but wrapped up, correct?
That puts her almost half way home.
That makes her very dangerous.
