There is a big difference between Lieberman in January 2003 and Hillary in January 2007 (assuming she still has the lead in these sorts of polls). The Gore, Kerry and Edwards positions now are likely similar to these 2003 leader positions (e.g. names with national recognition). But Hillary has money and access that no one in 2003 had.

Look at how Bush positioned himself to take the 2000 primaries. Hillary is doing a lot of the same things. I'm not talking about issues or public policy positions, but rather money, party primaries, etc. By the time the primary started in 2000, Bush was in a commanding position that withstood some early set backs easily. I suspect Hillary will be able to duplicate this on the democratic side.

I don't see anyone able to do this on the GOP side for 2008.

Obama is not just an empty suit. He is a political marionette. You don't have to look very closely to see the strings. If he ever tries to be a real candidate ; watch for ecessive nose growth.He's definitely not in Kansas anymore!!In the mean time, DO pay attention to the party behind the curtain!! Now, that's a horse of a different color!! sorry, i couldn't resist mixing metaphors.[lol]

a voter backlash by boring them. It's important to note that at around this time four years ago on the Democratic side the front runner wasn't even Howard Dean yet, who would famously flame out much later, let alone John Kerry. Who was it, you ask? As this article tells us it was Joe Lieberman, amazingly enough.
