let's see, what is going to happen with the economy? afganistan? iran? north korea? the auto industry? health care? taxes? mexico's narco war? the candidate's health? stupid gaffs/personal slips by the politicos?
way too many things to happen to predict, and none of us know what the situation will be in 12 months much less 45 months from now.
who would have expected in 2004 obama would be the president in 2008? (besides michele obama and axelrod..)

For the most part, I actually agree with Mavdog!!!
Rather than focusing on who, perhaps discussing the issues and how the issues should be governed will better help define who the candidates should be in 2010, 2012 and beyond.
We see the failure that is, pushing Obama sooo early, only to win the Presidency with no experience...perhaps we can move forward and focus on the issues themselves and then line up EXPERIENCED candidates with track records that show them VOTING on existing issues, so that we know how they will govern after the campaing rhetoric has passed.
