Election ‘08 4 Years Away
I’ve already begun entertaining ideas about this election. My bet?
If Bush wins in ‘04: John McCain vs. Hillary Clinton
If Kerry wins in ‘04: John McCain vs. John Kerry - or if Kerry’s impeached - John Edwards.
The good news for you Hillary haters is that a Kerry win will most likely knock her out of the running in ‘08 as the Kerry machine clears out the Clinton apparatus from the Democratic party. A Kerry win would also prep John Edwards for a run in ‘12.
Either way, the Presidency is John McCain’s if he wants it in 4 years. There has been talk about Cheney running in ‘08, which could be the only fly-in-the-ointment for him; however a Kerry win would prevent that from happening.
Ahh, politics… The names change but the game remains the same.

Update:
While The Razor is nowhere near as popular as Glenn Reynolds’ columns, here’s one that supports what I said should Kerry win. Note that it doesn’t account for the Kerry Machine taking over the Democratic party and rooting the last vestiges of the Clintonistas. Hillary will then be as frozen out of the party as McCain was from the Reps in ‘00.
