Imagine a 2008 election campaign between Newt Gingrich and Bill Richardson. Whoever lost, space, and New Space, would win big. Not to imply, of course, that it’s a likely matchup. The joint probability of both of them getting their respective party nominations is…errrrmmmm…astronomical.

Also, note that I’ve added a new category (a year or so before the first primary…sigh…) called “Space and Campaign 2008,” to correspond to the one I had four years ago. I wish that I hadn’t had to do it so soon.
