Some thoughts on Republicans...
I've said this before, but it would seem to be a good tactical move for Vice President Cheney to resign in the next six months, clearing the way for a non-Giuliani heir apparent. A unified Republican party might have a chance that a fragmented one would not.
It would be a shame if all of John McCain's sacrifices, his reworking of his sense of right and wrong, did not reward him with the presidency. But it may not...Rudy seems like the guy to beat. The hero of 9/11. Watch for weirdness coming from Rudy. Rumors abound about his personal life and strange opinions--plus his sort of liberalish tendenceis--it's hard to believe that a pro-choice Republican could get elected, for instance.
A Brownback win would be truly shocking. Romney maybe. If the religous issue gets quelled early enough and Rudy and McCain take each other out. Maybe.
