It’s never too early to think about 4 years from now, especially since things are officially wrapped up on the Republican side. For the eternal optimists, I’ve included John McCain and the sitting VP (I didn’t want the more-or-less optimists who think McCain will be a 1-termer but think that Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney will be the sitting VP to get pigeon-holed with the pessimists, so I broke them out). For the pessimists, I’ve thrown in the two people most-likely to lay claim to the “next in line” title (Huckabee, who will finish second in delegates if he doesn’t release them all, and Romney, who will finish second in the popular vote but released all his delegates) and the field (note for those that want the field, 4 months ago, we all thought the 56-year streak of “next in line” would finally be broken this time around). For the nihilists, I’ve even thrown in the Whig-ing of the GOP.

I’ll vote for whoever takes up the Crawfish Party Platform, which is found at http://constitutionalcrawfish.blogtownhall.com
None of this year’s crop of candidates, with the exceptions of Hunter and Tancredo, were worthy of the votes of people who actually believe in both the Constitution and a foreign policy based on reality (the 2nd part eliminates the Ronulans, aka Paulbots).
