Today has been a busy day on the 2008 Presidential front. Yesterday, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh confirmed that he has set up an exploratory committee to test the waters for the Democratic nomination. He does not seem to yet have a website up for his committee. I have been saying for the last year that he is one of the "big three" who are more likely to win the Democratic nomination. The other two are 2004 candidates John Edwards and Wesley Clark.
A likely candidate who does have a website up is Kansas Senator Sam Brownback. He confirmed today that he has formed an exploratory committee to set up a run for the Republican nomination. You can visit his committee's website by clicking on the link posted here. My personal favorites for the Republican nomination (as it stands now) are Congressman Tom Tancredo first, then Brownback, followed by outgoing Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, although I have some serious questions about Huckabee's stand on taxes and illegal immigration. I have some questions about Brownback's stand on illegal immigration as well, but his strong support for the family certainly is enough to get me excited! As it stands now, I believe outgoing Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is in the best position for the GOP nomination, but I think Brownback can have a shot as well. I also think that Tancredo, Huckabee and Gilmore, among other so-called "longshots" have a decent chance as well.
Hillary Clinton, quite likely the most dangerous potential candidate, was in the news again this weekend. She met with incoming New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and a number of advisors to consider fundraising for a likely bid for the Democratic nomination. WorldNetDaily has an article here.
