In the new Spring 2009 WotC Catalog: The new classes in this book include some long-time favorites of D&D players, such as the barbarian, druid, and sorcerer.
and
The book features several new races, including the gnome, the half-orc, and the goliath.
plus, a shifter is clearly pictured on the cover.

I hope there's more than that. I'd really like more than two things in the book I'm interested in ... (Goliaths and Shifters).
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Oops, I mean ...
So, assuming there havent been editorial changes, and the clues are still relevant, I still reconstruct the race names as follows ...
Honestly, while I think that the Shadar-kai are definitly going to eventual get a full pc write up, I think they are going to save them for the PHB that introduces the Shadow power source.

Indeed. Considering this is the PHB introducing the Primal power source, I find it very fitting that there would be "wild" races like the Shifter, Gnome, and (IMO) Goliath.

I believe it was stated the the druid is the "template" if you will for all primal classes.
Therefore... all primal classes might be hybrids?
Nah, I think it means the other classes knocked the druid out and stole most of his powers. :P
I read somewhere else that the 4e druid will focus on shapechanging. If that's true it has to be either a defender or striker, and most if not all of the spells are stripped out and given to the shaman (healing, buffing) and the whatever-the-primal-controller-will-be-named (plant and weather control). The druid will probably get to keep his movement powers, though, for flavor.

Since the druid packed the firepower of four classes in one, splitting it up is a pretty good idea.

From what has been said so far, the Druid will get shapshifting and weather magic when they are nonshifted. So the primal controller, assuming there is one, will likely focus on something besides weather magic.

Or, weather magic + something else. If a bard and a wizard can both have illlusions, then both a druid and a [Primal Controller] can both have weather.
