Why don't we start talking 2012?

The speculation about 2008 started the day after the election. Are we in a perpetual election mode? I mean the next Presidential election is over two years away.

People with two much time on their hands makes for silly specualtion. Like the following-

"OK, so Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made it clear that he doesn't want to run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, but that hasn't stopped friends from talking him up for vice president. In fact, allies are pushing him as the perfect match for several Republicans already running for president, including Virginia Sen. George Allen, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani."

Says a Bush friend: "I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes vice president."

Jeb has said before he won't run for President. Why would he then be interested in VP. VP speculation is silly to start with because who knows who'll be the GOP Presidential nominee in 2008.

If that's silly, here is sillier.

WASHINGTON -- Senator John F. Kerry has intensified his quest to regain the Democratic presidential nomination with a sharp move to the left, presenting himself in high-profile speeches and Senate debates as an unfettered lawmaker and would-be presidential candidate who learned from his 2004 loss that he must fight harder for what he believes.

In passionate remarks on the Senate floor and before party faithful last week, Kerry spoke directly to grass-roots Democrats, many of whom remain angry over his defeat in an election they believe Kerry was capable of winning.

Hat tip- Captain's Quarters,

I don't think the Democratic party is masochistic enough to nominate Kerry again. The days of Adlai Stevenson and William Jennings Bryan are long gone.

No one knows what the future will bring not even TFM. All of these experts are equally clueless.(S0 is TFM, but I admit it!) Some of them need to find honest work for a change.
