2008 Presidential Election
Political Wire: "Washington Whispers say that 'five Democrats have begun informal staff interviews for 2008 presidential runs, according to a few who've been interviewed. So far, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is dubbed 'the most aggressive' in seeking out aides, followed by Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack. The others are Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, and 2004 candidate Sen. John Kerry.'"
Political Wire: "Former Sen. John Edwards, 'sounding more like a future presidential candidate than a losing vice presidential nominee,' rallied Florida Democrats Saturday night 'with a speech that focused on the core beliefs of his party,' the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports."
Political Wire: "Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) 'set off on a four-state campaign trip to Ohio, Illinois and Michigan that ends next Friday in New Hampshire,' the San Francisco Chronicle reports. 'He hit the road after reassuring supporters back home in Tennessee that his announced retirement from the Senate in 2007 would not bar a bid for the presidency.'"
Political Wire: "In a national Hearst Newspapers/Siena College poll, 62% of registered voters say that the United States is ready for a woman president in 2008; 81% say they would vote for a woman as president. And, in what must be good news for Sen. Hillary Clinton, 60% expect a woman to be on the Democratic ticket for president in four years."
