It is far too early to engage in such speculation. More than 19 months remain until the election, in Presidential politics, that is, as they say, an eternity. Much will occur and much will change before the picture gets any clearer, but there are at least two reasons for Republicans not to hang their heads prematurely.

One: Hillary Clinton may be beloved of middle-aged feminist public school teachers and New Age pottery artists with pierced eyebrows and silver thumb rings, but half the country hates her guts and would sooner vote for anyone else. Two: Obama/Osama/Yo'mama is clearly in over his head, and will wilt as soon as anyone asks him a tough question for which he is unprepared - which the lame-ass media will never do, but a Republican eventually will.

And then there is Fred Thompson, and Duncan Hunter, and if not them, someone else. We certainly do not have to settle for Rudy McRomney at this early date.

Yet another delusional Duncan Hunter fan. He announced back in October - 6 months ago! He still gets no more than 1 or 2% in GOP polls. His candidacy is DOA
