Election 2008

Looks like John McCain has signaled his intentions to run for President, and taken the first 2008 campaign shot at Hillary Clinton!

He blamed the North Korean's ability to gain nuclear weaponry on Bill Clinton and his failed policies of appeasement with the rougue state. So much for 2006 and who's going to control Congress, the game is on for 2008.

Prediction: Republicans barely hold House and Senate. Bush's numbers start back up since gas prices are down and interest rates are headed back down after the first of the year. Iraq troops drawn down during 2007 to 50% of current levels. No major accomplishments in Congress for the next two years. McCain v Clinton for President 2008 will be all the talk. One more Supreme Court vacancy will be the biggest fight and Bush will get one more conservative on the court, barely.

Frankly, I'm OK with the whole scenario. It really is better when government is so tied up thinking about themselves that they can't start raising taxes or issuing new regulations.
