I spent part of my last afternoon of recovery in solitude looking at ’08 presidential candidate videos over at YouTube. I know, conventional wisdom says it’s really early. But consider this, with the front-loaded and obscenely early primary season, each candidate will probably be effectively nominated by the end of January. O.K., seven months is still a little way off, but it’s not quite as far out as you thought, is it?

Take a look for yourself. Some of the candidates actually put words to some specifics. I’m not going to tell you which ones… you’re going to have to look for yourself if you really want to know.
