"You keep chewing on it." It's a discussion board. I had no interest in bringing it up, someone else did. Was there a notice somewhere that I'm not allowed to make comments on topics other people bring up?

Ditto for Carter and Dukakis two years out. I've said before that I'm predicting they put up one of their moderate governors or ex-gov's: Warner, Bayh, or Vilsack. Warner has dropped out, so my powers of prognostication are looking weaker. It could be Edwards. It could be Bayh, or Vilsack. Maybe Bill Richardson, if he goes for it. Or someone no one, but no one is talking about right now. If the Democrats are true to form, that's MORE likely than Hillary, the putative "front-runner."
