It all depends on who gets the nod. I think both parties right now suffer from an absence of visionary leadership. If the dems nominate Hillary Clinton, I think the GOP has a good chance of retaining power. Obama is electable but it would be better if he stayed in the senate and built some sort of track record of legislation. Then he could run (in the future) with more than rock-star popularity to support him.
On the GOP side, We have McCain, but he is more moderate than conservative. A truly conservative politician who would communicate a Reaganesque vision and set of values is not on the horizon. Colin Powell is still a Republican; but I fear he is a casualty of the Iraq war. Same with Condi Rice.

Well, based upon the elections in the beginning of the month, you have to give the advantage to the Democrats. President Bush and his organization have not exactly done an amazing job, and as a result, have made a bad name for Republicans throughout the country. More and more people are shifting to the Democrats. The problem is, the Democrats dont' appear to have any idea of what it is they are going to do if they gain power. I give the Democrats a 65%-35% edge, but it really doesn't matter who wins, because either way, we're in trouble.

History is against it. In the last 5 elections where a Pres was retiring:
52 changed party
60 changed party
68 changed party
88 stayed same party
00 changed party.
This Congress, headed by Pelose & Reid is likely to be so divisive that we could see another exception.
I think it's about 50-50

I believe you should wait until you know who the two main contenders are before this question is raised. There are 2 years left and a lot can happen in 10 minutes in politics.

If a truly conservative candidate with a sense of history run, the Republicans will win in a landslide.

I am giving it a 60-40 for rep.
simply because when the dems do not cut and run in Iraq the reps will probably win back a few of those people that they lost during this recent election.

the only republican team that has a chance of winning is John McCain and Rucy Guillani. Other than those two, no republican has a shot.

I think McCain might have a good chance at president if he isn't given a strong challenge by a right wing candidate of the GOP, which would leave them divided.

McCain has his age and sobbing sensitivity going against him. too bad. watch for lindsey graham as he gains support from the right **and** left - he could be reps best chance. none-the-less, even the conservatives no longer care for a bush/cheney type of ticket,and I think the reps have viruallty no chance of prevailing.
