As for the Republican side in 2008, the field looks to be shaping up as follows:
The top-tier:
John McCain - Sen AZ
Rudy Giuliani - former NYC mayor
Chuck Hagel - Sen NE
Bill Frist - Senate Maj Leader
The second tier:
George Allen - Sen VA
Sam Brownback - Sen KS
George Pataki - Gov NY
Jeb Bush - Gov FL
The third tier:
Mitt Romney - Gov MA
Bill Owens - Gov CO
Tom Ridge - Homeland Security Sec
Condoleezza Rice - NSA
WaPo has an article on Hagel, who seems fairly well positioned, but McCain and Giuliani will be presumptive favorites assuming they both go for it. |
