It is highly unlikely that Gephardt will get the nomination due to his (at least formerly) strong stand for the war in Iraq.

The Teamsters had better start deciding now what they're going to do about choosing another candidate to endorse for the national election......

I know that's the conventional wisdom right now, but I see that changing for two reasons:

1) I think WMDs and Saddam's demise are going to make the anti-war folks look rather foolish.
2) The Dems are eventually going to realize their lurch left just won't cut it. We're already seeing signs of sanity among the madness (e.g., the DLC meeting). And remember Reno in Florida? All the Dems loved her... until it become obvious Jeb would crush her. Then they flocked to McBride. I'm not saying it will happen with Gephardt, just that it could.
