Presidential candidates

Here are a couple interesting thoughts about candidates for 2008:

Right Wing News took a poll of conservative bloggers about who would be their best candidates for the Republican nomination in 2008. Leading the pack with the most votes: Newt Gingrich (!) Least favored: Chuck Hagel (closely followed by John McCain).

And, the Times (UK) discusses Hillary Clinton's candidacy and doesn't find much to like: The vaulting ambition of America's Lady Macbeth. In it, Gerard Baker says:

...the Clinton candidacy is a Grand Deceit, an entirely artificial construct built around a person who, stripped bare of the cynicism, manipulation and calculation, is nothing more than an enormous, overpowering and rather terrifying ego.

Also, Media Transparency has a backgrounding research piece on Tom Tancredo and his political and financial influences.
