McCain announces exploratory committee

If you were looking forward to a peaceful Turkey Day - and God alone knows there is much to give thanks for this year - you will be disappointed.

So far, we have announcements from Rudy Giuliani and Tom Vilsack that they are indeed running; Mark Warner and Russ Feingold have declared that they are not; John Edwards has announced that he will be making an announcement; and now, John McCain throws his boxers into the ring as well. Over on the side of the forces of freedom, there's a furious movement to stop Hillary.

I guess what they said about the permanent campaign is accurate; though I will take a wager that neither of the two presumptive front-runners, McCain and Clinton respectively, will make the cut. McCain is hated by his base, Hillary is not seen as being able to win.

My money right now is on Edwards and Romney.
