As long as they run against “W.”
The problem, of course, is that he’s not running in ’08.

Anytime someone says “can’t lose” I clamp down on my wallet.
P.S. Dems don’t have to run against Bush. They just have to portray the Republican nominee as ushering in Bush’s third term.
That won’t be hard: even at rock bottom Bush could count on 70% of Republicans approving of the job he’s done. So its pretty clear their nominee will probably be a rubber stamp.
Seing it this way, Independents will have every reason to run like the wind — in the other direction. The End.
A slam dunk? Hardly. But it ain’t rocket science either.

For example, take Rudy (please!), who I’m pretty sure is going to get the nomination. If it were up to me, the Dem nominee would play a small snippet of Giuliani’s speech to the ’04 GOP convention:
“Without really thinking, based on just emotion, spontaneous, I grabbed the arm of then-Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and I said to him, ‘Bernie, thank God George Bush is our president.’ I say it again tonight:
“Thank God that George Bush is our president, and thank God that Dick Cheney, a man with his experience and his knowledge and his strength and his background, is our vice president.”
Kerik, Bush, Cheney! The slot machine rolls three cherries and the silver dollars come rushing out.

The sorry performance of the Democrat-led Congress (the one that sends emissaries to far-flung terrorist-led countries like Syria to dump on America) is bound to be a factor, too, unless the Democratic nominee is not in Congress.
