I believe the Republicans are toast in 2008 unless their nominee is either Huckabee or Ron Paul. I believe any other Republican is going to get their ass whipped by whoever comes from the Democratic side. And lets face it, it's not going to be Ron Paul. Ron Paul has as much chance to win the GOP nom as Joe Biden does the Democratic one. He's a true conservative really who's party has well moved away from him.
Some bring up the congress has a lower approval than the President, but part of that is the congress not standing up to Bush enough. It's still a very anti Republican environment. Bush's numbers are still in the toilet. People trust the Dems more on everything from Healthcare to the environment to the economy to Iraq. The only thing the GOP wins is on terrorism, but only by a narrow margain. The GOP is in the midst of becoming a minority party for a while, and that seems suiting given they elected twice one of the worst and arguably the most incompetent president we've ever had.
