T.K., You just answered your own question. I think it was the Schilling endorsement that put Bush over the top.

Baitrunner, Hillary/Obama you outta yo damn mind? I would love to see that ticket lose all 50 states. Talk about a mandate. The country would be redder than China after it was all colored in with Republican victories with Russerts red sharpie. I think you will see a moderate, blue dog like Evan Bayh. Edwards is in there somewhere maybe, another Governor of some sort,etc Senators hardly ever win. I think Terry McAuliffe will be given his walking papers, because that party is done under his leadership.

I hope McCain runs again for the Repubs, but he may be to old at that point. Giuliani will run, but country mice, don't like city mice, and at that point he will be officeless and 10 years removed from 9-11.

We will see.
