On the Democratic side Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana has been mentioned by a few people. He's a moderate from a somewhat conservative-leaning state who comes from a political family. He'll have 10 years in the Senate by 2008 and since he just got reelected on Tuesday, his seat will be safe until 2010 if he loses. He would be the type of strategic candidate that may have a shot at bringing in some red states in the midwest and possibly some Southern states, because he comes from a red, rural state and he can play the moral issues better.
John Edwards has a problem in that he has no political job now and the experience issue will really hurt him if he was only a 1 term Senator with no political career for 4 years afterward. Hillary will win the primary easily if she runs, but it will be the same map as this past Tuesday if she runs in the general. She'll come with a lot of baggage from the White House days that will polarize the map. While her husband has the Southern accent and played well in some Southern states, Hillary is from suburban Chicago and doesn't have the same Southern appeal.
What has to happen now is the Dems need to work just as hard for turnout for the mid-term elections as they did for this election, because if they can win back house and senate seats, they can stall Bush's controversial programs. Turnout is lower in mid-term years, so a strong effort by the Dems will work better. Then in 2008 Bayh or someone else who can appeal to a few red states needs to run in order for success.

Would Americans really want a women president? i would be very supirsed if they would allow a women run their country since they are so conservative.
