In 2008 there will be lots of great choices. I wasn't involved in the primaries last year and only in November became a political junkie so I didn't get to go through all of that primary stuff (I probably would've supported Kerry or Dean). This time though there will be a pretty broad range. I definitley think that Feingold and Warner are running. Both have done multiple apperances in New Hampshire and Warner this last Sunday was in South Carolina and gave a great speech. I'm really liking him and if Kerry doesn't run again seriously thinking of supporting him. He has a lot to offer people and can appeal to all types of people and did a great job in Virginia as a one-term governor and than the Tim Kaine win. Kerry has been doing a lot of stuff and being more vocal. But I don't think he has done any appearances like Feingold and Warner. I know he has been basically helping other canidates and raising money for people who need help in much needed areas for really major seats and I think that's a great thing to do and use his name recogintion to help them and he's been a strong fighter in the Senate. Back earlier in the year Kerry was introducing his health care plan for kids and a French network asked him if he was running again (I heard this when he was leaving the speech and took a few question's and signed autographs) and he said it was too soon to tell. I think if Kerry and Clinton are going to run they will announce it later in the game. Biden has made some noise too with testing his chances but I haven't seen him appear on Road to the White House lately or anything else to make noise like Kerry, Feingold and Warner have been lately. Edwards is still working on his committee's and I think he does grat work with that.
