'The Mother of Them All'
That's what James Carville is calling the 2008 Presidential race. Finally, I agree with him on something.
Hillary has been dialing up New Hampshire Dems, as if we needed any more signs that she's going to throw her hat in the ring.
Meanwhile, Obama was in Hillary's backyard on Tuesday, and he's headed up to New Hampshire in the very near future.
Wes Clark is gearing up for a run. Even Al Gore is still makes noises like he might enter the fray, which would make things really interesting.
On the Republican side, Kansas Senator Sam Brownback announced on Tuesday he's forming an exploratory committee, saying, ""There is a real need in our country to rebuild the family and renew our culture. There is a need for genuine conservatism and real compassion in the national discussion."
I saw Brownback speak at the SRLC in Memphis back in April. Frankly, I was shocked at the tepid response from the crowd of conservative delegates. He gave a rambling, uninspired, and mostly forgettable speech about reclaiming the mantle of Ronald Reagan. Brownback has the physical appearance of a potential president, but he was significantly less polished than Governor Mike Huckabee who has a folksy stump speech that was well received by the crowd and also Mitt Romney who gave one of the best appearances of the entire weekend.
Lastly, Rudy Giuliani, scored a big "get" yesterday and announced he'll host a presidential fundraiser, making it very likely that he's going to be in the "mother of them all" as well.
