2008

As the race for the White House in 2008 begins to percolate have you wondered just who all is running or who all is considering running? Oh sure we hear of the big names on the news and on a wide variety of blogs. But those are just the famous ones. Whom else do we have to choose from?

Well look no further than Next Prez. There you'll find that Doug has a comprehensive listing broken down by party affiliation, status and links to official web sites where those exist.

On the Dems side I like Bill Richardson. On the Republicans side I like Chuck Hagel. I'm honestly not familiar enough with any of the others at this point to venture an opinion of any kind.

I would point our Oregon readers to a local candidate: Michael Smith, a Republican from Corvallis. Smith floated a very intriguing idea this past May of MicroCampaigns. The gist of which is centered around the idea of eliminating the winner takes all model of selecting convention delegates. Imagine a convention hall full of delegates belonging to dozens of different candidates... Heady stuff!
