Reply #31: OK, since we're speculating

I do not think that Jeb will run in 2008. Not only has he said that he won't, but he's smart enough to realize that Americans are predisposed against even the perception of dynasty. The following people may run for the Republican nomination in 2008:

Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Newt Gingrich
Condi Rice
Bill Frist
George Allen
Chuck Hagel
Christie Todd Whitman
And maybe 5-6 others

On the Democratic side we can expect:

Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
John Kerry
Wes Clark
Harold Ford
Joe Lieberman
Dennis Kucinich
Joe Biden
Bill Richardson
Tom Vilsack
Howard Dean
And maybe 4-5 others (including, possibly, Bill Cosby)

Everything from right wing Republicans to centrist Republicans to left wing Democrats to centrist democrats. Depending on who matches up with who, it could be a very interesting race.
