CRACK FOR WONKS :

THE NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AFTER BUSH (Patrick Ruffini, 8/08/02)

[I]'m posting my comprehensive odds on a worthy Republican successor to Bush.

For true political junkies it's never to early to talk presidential horse race. But Mr. Ruffini out does himself this time by looking past George W. to the next defender of the faith. It's a fun list though I'd quarrel with several rankings, especially Tom Ridge being so high. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 10, 2002 8:00 AM
