I think it's too early. (It's not too early to go out and help take back Congress and help elect other good Dems, but it's too early for serious talk about running.) This is all a big media thing since talking about anything real takes time and a real investment in finding out what the issues are and examinging them in depth. (Screw that, it's faster and easier to speculate aobut '08 and you don't even have to crack a book or a newspaper. Lazy media.)

The reason it's too early is because there really hasn't been enough space yet between '04 and now. The issues that will be at the forefront for this fall are still not set in cement yet. (If we don't even know what this fall will be about, how can we possibly know what '08 will be about yet?) The Bush Admin has really screwed up a lot of stuff and we have not yet begun to calculate the price for their economic and foreign policy failures. It's too early. I think a lot of these 'chickens' are going to come home to roost before '08 and that will shape what is important in that race. But not yet, it's too early.
