Monday Morning 2008 Roundup

Just putting the weekend's stories in one place:

The 2008 Five"Five Democrats have begun informal staff interviews for 2008 presidential runs, according to a few who've been interviewed. So far, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is dubbed "the most aggressive" in seeking out aides, followed by Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack . The others are Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards , and 2004 candidate Sen. John Kerry..."

Biden: Clinton Hard to Beat in 2008 Race: "Biden said he is thinking about running again, 20 years after his first failed bid for the White House because "there's a lot at stake."

Edwards rallies party faithful: "Sounding more like a future presidential candidate than a losing vice presidential nominee, former North Carolina Senator John Edwards rallied Broward County Democrats Saturday night with a speech that focused on the core beliefs of his party..."

As some see Romney testing national waters, possible successors eyed: "Romney's political trips out of state are forcing Republicans in Massachusetts to privately contemplate the prospect that he will not run for reelection so he can focus on a presidential bid, leaving the 2006 GOP gubernatorial nomination up for grabs..."

Republican hopefuls try to position themselves as party's next big player: Namechecks Frist, Gingrich, Giuliani, Romney and McCain.

Clinton: Hillary Would Be Great President: Bill backs Hillary which hardly rates as shocking.
