I'm off to an undisclosed location for a few days. There will be sun, there will be surf, and yes, there will be fish.
In the spirit of Marc Ambinder, I'll pose a few questions for readers to ponder in the comments section while I'm gone:
What question should ABC ask Obama during the April 16 debate?How about Clinton?
Who will win Pennsylvania? By how many points?
When will the Democratic nominee be decided?
Which young up and comer will dazzle Democrats with a convention speech - and potentially be considered a White House hopeful down the line?
What's the wild card "purple" state for November?
In February 2009, John Edwards will be:
a) poverty czar
b) attorney general
c) enjoying his retirement
d) a reality TV show contestant
I'll buy a Washington Times subscription for whoever gets the most right answers.
For the next week, Stephen Dinan, Andrea Billups, Brian DeBose and Joe Curl will be handling '08 politics, my blogging alma mater Fishwrap will collect news, politics and stuff, and Jon Ward is keeping track of the current president.
Visit our home page frequently for breaking news and political analysis. Also, please check out some of our other Washington Times blogs - and we have a bunch.
Some of my favorites: Seth McLaughlin (on my old Virginia beat), Riffologist Scott Galupo on culture and all things Nationals.
You can also ready all about the pope's visit at Julia Duin's blog.

I would love a Washington Times subscribtion so I'm going to do my best to answer your questions. I am getting my journalism degree and work at the Leadership Institute in Washington DC as an editor so I love anything writing related and read the Times every day online.
Obama will win PA and thus will be the presidential nominee. In 2009 John Edwards will be a reality TV contestant. He will never give up the spotlight. ABC will ask questions of Obama that will not be answered, they will be answered with beautiful fluff and nothingness and no one will learn anything because he really doesn't have anything substatial to say. That is all.

We as a party must show the inconsistency of john Mccain ( for tax cuts - against tax cuts ) if we want to win this election... I just hope and pray that this debate next week is a great one that relize on the issue not the canidates with there claws out

What question should ABC ask Obama during the April 16 debate?
- How realistic would an Iraq pull-out be in your first 100 days in office?
How about Clinton?
- If you lose PA, will you accept the inevitable?
Who will win Pennsylvania? By how many points?
- Obama, by a whisper (1-2 points).
When will the Democratic nominee be decided?
- Please God, by the time NC rolls around.
Which young up and comer will dazzle Democrats with a convention speech ? and potentially be considered a White House hopeful down the line?
- Hmmm.. one of the female govs would be good.
What's the wild card "purple" state for November?

In February 2009, John Edwards will be:

Clinton wins Pennsylvania by 9-12 points. Pennsylvanians are not fooled by the media enabling Obama by focusing on the word "bitter" in his remarks criticizing small town America. Pennsylvanian voters will focus on his saying that small town America exhibits "antipathy" toward people who are different. As if small town America is more ignorant and bigoted than Obama's parishoners back in Chicago, who clap when Reverend Jeremiah Wright damns Amerikkka.
Obama's church condemns the pursuit of "middleclassness", yet they move their CRAZY anti American pastor into a gated white community. And it's small town America who clings to it's religion, right,Barack? Not your fellow parishoners who believe that AIDS is a gov't plot.
What an arrogant phony.
But Pennsylvanians are not fooled by his hypocrisy.

I think that Obama will win, Even though I hate
to say it. the 'gun hugging' Pennsylvanians are
just sick and tired of the Clintons. First she
advocates gun control in Phillie, then she is in
Scranton saying huntng is the best thing in the world. Which way is it
