UPDATE: Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) won the presidency of the United States today in a historic landslide, carrying all of the Kerry states as well as capturing multiple states that have trended Republican in recent elections, including (as of this update) Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, and New Mexico, and running up electoral vote totals that should come close to equaling, or even surpass, those which Bill Clinton produced in the 1990s.

The assault on a police officer, the charges of 5,000 people covertly executed by the government in the wake of Katrina, the shadow of Nader, if Bob Barr flies his campaign under the radar, Cynthia McKinney flies hers behind it.

The defection from Republicanism, the continued puzzled looks of "Who?" when brought up in conversation, the amazing resemblance to a manager in the World Series, like Barr's candidacy itself, they've pretty much all been ignored. And yet he races on. Why?

Two states have held a monopoly on being the first to begin the Presidential Primary contest every four years: New Hampshire and Iowa. The 2008 election may shake things up with various states trying to move their primaries to earlier days, and candidates ignoring New Hampshire or Iowa to go after delegate rich populous states scheduled for later in the primary season.

It's only 25 months until the 2008 presidential election, and we may have our slate already.

Warner's withdrawal leaves a small field of possible Democratic contenders for 2008: Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, possibly Barack Obama, and, well, maybe John Kerry again.
