The 2008 Race Starts Today!

While the dust is still settling on the midterm elections, people are already shifting their focus to the Presidential contest in 2008. There are more than 30 candidates from the two parties expected to seek their respective party's nominations. As of today, there are only two "declared" candidates with their hats in the ring.

On the Republican side, Duncan Hunter, a long-time Congressman from California, announced during a campaign appearance that he was declaring to run for the Presidency in 2008. In what is expected to be a very long-shot candidacy, for the time being, he has the Republican stage to himself.

For the Democrats, outgoing Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, has long been mentioned as a contender in 2008. Today he announced he was filing papers with the Federal Election Commission to run for the Presidency. We have our first contenders people!
