#1 I'll play the odds on history. The Zero Factor is still in play. If it does happen, no Dem candidate will be able to take the executive office for the next couple of elections.

#2 I lost all respect for Peggy Noonan - she needs a year or two break and a humility injection.

#3 it will be a he; itÃ¢â¬â¢s not Condi, because the presidency is not an entry-level political office

Unlike the Senate, apparently.

#4 Peggy has dropped off a few pegs.

Hilderbest has already turned off most self-respecting men with her screeching shouts. She can run, but she cannot hide from her socialist record.

How many hair styles has she had over the past decade? It would be interesting to see an political advertisement showing her various positions on issues coupled with her varying make-overs.

#5 The Senate has frequently been an entry level position. The prseidency has not. Post-founding father exceptions? Eisenhower, Hoover, Grant, all gained fame in military victories; Hoover in the humanitarian reconstruction efforts after WWI. Pays to lead an army to victory.

Tommy Franks for President.

#6 because in 2008 we will have millions of 18- to 24-year-old voters who have no memory of her

Right. That same bloc of young idealistic liberal voters that propelled John Kerry to his landslide presidential victory. What? John Kerry lost?

Frankly, regardless of who the Democratic candidate is, the electoral college math is strongly against them at this point in time. However, Ms. Noonan is correct on one point. The electorate is closely divided, so the GOP cannot afford a subpar campaign performance by the eventual nominee.

BTW Anyone but Condi!

#7 because in 2008 we will have millions of 18- to 24-year-old voters who have no memory of her

Like all the 18-24 year olds who were supposed afraid of the upcoming draft in '04. With all the money and "Rock the Vote" BS the MSM dished out, the % of 18-24 year old kids who voted remained the same. A dismal 20-30% IIRC. Point is, the kids just don't care and you can't make 'um. So dems, continue to waste money and effort on this age group. It ain't gonna matter on election day.

#8 because in 2008 we will have millions of 18- to 24-year-old voters who have no memory of her

But the bloggers will be there to provide them with those memories. Where do you think the voters of that age group get their news, it's off the web, not on network news or the dead tree edition of the MSM. If Kerry thought the Swiftboat Vets were rough, wait till the HildaBeast starts running. Plus unless the Republicians nominate a child-molesting Satan worshiper, the blue-staters will crawl naked over broken glass to vote against her. That includes the women voters. Blowjob Bill may have been able to fool the voters, but she ain't him.

#9 She can run,

With those thankles? Fat chance...

#10 Until we get to the point where women (who by the way, are 50% of the US voting strength) would want to vote for a female candidate, why should I, waste mine!
