I think that it should be a pretty interesting election. I agree with what a lot of GW posted as well as what UB replied to in his second post.
As stated above, the GOP will definitely have to distance itself from the Bush administration and it was said that is being done currently (admittedly, I'm not very current in the presidential candidacy at the moment). I think as seen from the recent voting turnout, it's obvious that Dems have a pretty strong chance this year.
However, with Obama and Clinton being #1 and #2 as potential candidates for the Democratic party, it will be interesting to see how many people are willing to vote for minority leaders (Black and Woman obiously). I think a lot of people would not vote for them simply based on that alone. I think that Obama has a better shot than Hillary at the position.
It will definitely be interesting to read this post in a couple years to see if we were way off, or semi-close to reality.
