Election 2008 Begins

Labor Day means election season really begins. Everything up to this point has been little more than window dressing.

Some qustions to consider:

How fast will Fred Thompson's campaign sink like a stone?

How long before Romney surpasses Guiliani as odds-on favorite for the republican nomination?

Can Obama successfully deflect the lack of experience meme?

Can anyone make the 'she's too polarizing to be president' argument stick to Hillary?

Can Edwards prove that union support still means something in the democratic primary?

And on the senate side:

Does Mark Warner give up a possible VP slot for the Virginia senate seat that John Warner is vacating?

How long before the republicans go negative on Tim Johnson(D-SD), who is making remarkable progress after a serious brain injury?

Is it possible for democrats to make Larry Craig's seat in blood red Idaho competitive?
