On the Democrat side, it looks like the DNC can start printing up the Hillary! posters. But among Republicans, there is still a lot of uncertainty about the party's candidates.

Interviews with dozens of Republicans across the country this Labor Day weekend found that despite the already lengthy campaign, which started almost a year ago, many candidates have made either no impression or a negative one, and many voters are still chewing over their options.

Now this doesn't trouble me terribly -- historically, presidential nomination fights are usually just beginning at this point, and I think many Republicans are simply not making a decision yet. Sure, we have been in campaign mode for some time now, but as recently as six months ago none of us had any idea that there would be a Fred Thompson candidacy. A year ago, it looked like a Giuliani/McCain race. Today we see things still up for grabs because voters are taking their time.

If things stay as they are, though, this could lead to something very interesting -- a convention that actually means something as the ticket is hammered out in Minneapolis. This would bring about excitement among the American populace, and show that the voice of the people is being heard.

Besides -- any GOP candidates stock wil rise in the face of a Democrat ticket headed by Hillary Clinton.
