2008...already?

Former Bush webmaster Patrick Ruffini has released the 2008 Presidential Wire, the first news aggregator and buzz tracker devoted to the next Presidential campaign. In an email he writes:

You might ask, "Why so early?" Good question. Actually, it's because a tool like this is most useful early in the process, when so little is known about many of the contenders, and we can get a glimpse into the Statehouse or the Senate office without being inundated by 24/7 cable news coverage and hundreds of versions of the same wire copy.

Come now. Everyone knows it will be Hillary vs. Mitt. No need to track anybody else...

I would like to see George Allen's profile rise over the next couple years. Ruffini's matrix measures blog posts as one component of buzz. Therefore, if I just write a lot of blog posts about Allen, the Ruffini wire will show his blog popularity on the rise.

McCain-Watts, that's the ticket!

McCain would never get the pro-First Amendment vote. I find him even more distasteful than Specter.

The Cycle's the cycle. Why the heck not?

It's gonna be Woodward vs. Buchannan.
