Gore was elected to the Senate in 1984 and became a leading contender for the Democratic nomination in 1988. Bob Kerrey was elected to the Senate in 1988 and ran for the nomination in 1992. Edwards was elected to the Senate in 1998 and ran in 2004. The only reason Edwards didn't run in 2000 was Al Gore. Somehow I doubt Jeb Bush will have the same advantages that his brother had in 2004 or Gore had in 2000.
Would Perdue run against Jeb Bush??? Only if Republicans win the Lt. Governorship! Any Democrat who wins the Governorship will be a serious contender for the nomination in 2008 if Democrats also hold on to the Lt. Governorship.
