The Dems tend to pick someone and crown them before any primary. IF someone does surprise and gains steam they work to destroy the person.

'84 they WANTED Mondale..... Hart be damned. Can't blame them really, they didn't want to throw out one of their young guns to be destroyed by an unbeatable Reagan, so they send a reliable workhorse whoserved the position of sacrificial lamb (we saw the GOP do this with Dole in '96).

'88 they WANTED Dukakis..... Glenn be damned, Hart was destroyed

'92 they crowned Clinton

'00 was Gore everyone else step aside

'04 Kerry hand picked and everyone else go to Hell, Dean scared him for a minute.

This coming year they wanted to ordain Mrs. Clinton, but Obama entered and now they are splitting..... the person that will benefit most from this and may end up getting the nod..... Edwards (my man). Simply because I see Obama and Clinton destroying each other, to the point they may not even win the senate ever again.

The GOP..... hard to say but I don't see McCain getting it, I don't see the crown being handed to Guiliani or Pataki either. But I do see the GOP heading more centrist pissing off the Religious Right with their decision and losing big, the GOP may even pick someone they know will lose, simply so they can show the moderates how badly the party needs to stay in favor with the Religious Right.... (but this is dependant on a somewhat respectable Dem Congress.... if the Dems come off in Congress as lousy.... the GOP could run Kermit the Frog in '08 and win.)

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
