There will be all kinds of jockeying for position, while people try to balance the need for unity in Congress in order to make gains in '06. This is going to be a very wild cycle.

Btw, who has Bush mentioned, albeit obliquely, whenever he has been criticizing Senate Democrats. Who has been pushing withdrawal plans and the irritating Amendment asking for the clandestine prisons to be reported on to Congress. The Rethugs may talk about Hillary, but then are actually actively trying to discourage a few Senators from pursuing an agenda of accountability and responsibility in Congress. Ms. Clinton ain't among them. Hmmmmmmmm.

I still think that there are only 6-8 people total in the country who are actually credible candidates for President of the United States. There will be a lot more who will explore the possibility of running, but they won't really go anywhere. Kerry is one of those people who can make a credible run for President. He proved it last time, without a whole lot of support from official Washington. That's good enough for me.
