I've argued that the battle for the political future of the country won't be waged at the ballot box in 2008--no matter whether we're talking about Clinton vs. Dole 2.0 or Clinton vs. Bush the Younger. It'll be fought at the state level, over electoral rules. Somebody's waking up. If this works, this will go some way to a more competitive electoral system. And the more competitive elections are, the more responsive government should be to our needs.
