#1 The GOP hopes Kerry is going to be the nominee. But Dean is going to win.

#2 Heh heh heh. I hate to think of the crap that would fly if Kerry got the nomination--but that would pale into insignificance compared to what would happen if Dean Howard won the ballot. Kerry at least tries to be circumspect, but leaves the telltale traces of his his inclinations in his wake. Like today. But Howard just lets it all loose. This could really be fun.

#3 I've written how Kerry doesn't impress me, well, I'll also note that Hastert and DeLay don't impress me either.

While turnabout is not necessarily fair play, H&D could be big enough to admit that Clinton deserved more support at the time over the Balkans.

#4 Anyone but Lieberman has 0 foreign policy experience or general credibility vis-a-vis war or homeland security. Also, there are 11 (?) candidates. To knock each one out of the process requires a "concession" to said candidate. The moderates will be torn out of the strategic decision making process and replaced with Team Kuchinch.

#5 actually kucinich hurts Dean, just as Dean hurts Kerry. One of the things that tends to help moderate dems is the proclivity of lefty dems to pursue a "holier than thou" strategy.

#6 from foxnews - remarks from al from, leader of moderate DLC.

'But with polls suggesting that as much as 80 percent of the public strongly backs military action in Iraq, some Democrats are increasingly worried that the anti-war sentiment will backfire against the party.

"If a minority of our party can create doubts among the American people about our ability and our willingness to defend the country and keep it safe, we will be in trouble as a party, period," said Al From, president of the moderate Democratic Leadership Council.

From told Fox News he fears that anti-war liberals may restore a 1970s-era image of the party as weak, just when it needs to appear strong in the wake of Sept. 11.

"I don't care if it's an old image or a new image that says we're not strong enough to promote America's interests in the world. If that's the case, it's a bad image," From said.'

#7 He's like an adolescent-Pat Paulson yelling poo poo at a church supper. Yeah, he stands out from the crowd but not in the way he intended. A little too immature to be taken seriously but a little too old not to know better.

#9 If the U.S. needs a "regime change", it's not likely to be pulled off by the likes of Kerry.

#10 The harder left the dems go, the better. They are so far out of touch with the American people right now that you'd think they were all permanently vacationing in France.

Wee Doggies!

#11 Kerry never opens his mouth unless he needs to change feet...

#12 Neither political party has shown any real understanding of what the PEOPLE in this great nation want. Kerry (and his fellow dummycheats) wants a Democratic lock, so he can continue to destroy this nation with social welfare programs. The Repuglycons want an even bigger win in the House and Senate, so they can promote their own pet projects. Neither has stood back, read the Constitution, and decided to pursue the LEGITIMATE ACTIONS of Congress, as detailed in that document. Until they do, both parties will be part and parcel with the downward spiral of both politics and the national character of the United States.

#13 Dean, Wetzel?!! You're kidding, right? Would the Democrats really be that stupid? The only Democrat that has a chance of making a race out of 2004 is Lieberman. Or Gephardt, if Dickie adopts a new set of "core beliefs."
