I'm voting Baltar.
David Palmer!
Which would be a greater deathwish for the democratic party, Obama or Hillary?I don't think either would at this point because the Republican party has taken the football, fumbled it, took a shit in the middle of the field and pissed on the cheerleaders.

I expect John Edwards to win the nomination in 2008 sir. It'll be a clean sweep for him with Mark Warner out of the picture.
That won't matter in 2008. A year is an eternity in politics, and come election time it will be back to the old "who's going to protect us better?" mantra. Hillary will lose that debate every time, in part because she's a woman. And although Obama is amazing and rather non-threatening, he's still a distinguished black fellow in many people's eyes. People (*cough Cheebs*) expecting Obama to run and win in 08 and sadly misguided about this country. You don't hear any black people puttting Obama up as an 08 candidate; only white progressives, and I don't think they understand the monumental effect his candidacy would have.

John Edwards vs. Mitt Romney in 2008.
McCain is hated by conservatives and right wing conservatives vote in primaries, not a good situation for him and he is groveling to the christian right currently but it is seen to be obvious that he is doing it purely for votes and not out of his own beliefs which hurts his image a lot(I used to like the guy in 2000, the 2006 verison disgusts me). If he did win the primary it would be because conservatives think "I don't like this man, he isn't conservative enough but he is electable so I'll swallow my pride and vote for him. A bad republican is better than no republican I guess." Which will thus surpress 2008 general election turn out among Republicans due to their lack of excitement about their own candidate while Democrats(unless the nom is Hillary) will be hyped up to reclaim the white house making the once sure thing McCain, stumble and lose. Mitt Romney has a better shot at the general election than McCain then I think.
Remember elections are in the end about who can turn out their bases in the right states. The last 6 years the GOP has been amazing in their conservative christian massive turnout. McCain isn't so hot with that group, even with his latest desperate attempts. He won't impire the conservative base. That is why if he is the nomiee democrats NEED someone "safe" like Edwards. Because while McCain can't inspire Republicans, Hillary would. Inspire them to come in massive ammounts to STOP her from winning.
He won't do Kerry. Edwards seems to be resentful of Kerry feeling that Kerry vastly under-used him when running.
Edwards is going to need to pick a very good VP. Clark or even Kerry would be a good choice, and would give him more credibility with foreign policy; similar to what Cheney brought to the Bush ticket in 2000.
Condi it is.She'll be to busy being in charge of the NFL.

Almost two years later, my plan to vote for Baltar doesn't seem so smart.
