The BEST thing that Bush and the GOP have going for them is the Dems' continuing deification of Clinton and his electoral team. Bubba won in 92, with a plurality, becuase of Perot..and in 96, Dole was a weak candidate, and the country is not normally inclined to toos out an uncumbent in peacetime, with the economy then doing very wlll, and the stock market bubbling away. Pat Caddell, Dem polster, last night debunked the myth of the Clinton electoral geniuses.Carville, Begala, and the lot..they were FIRED because they lost the 1994 election, rather badly...so, I say, welcome these changes with open arms...
Jay Severin insightfully opined that Kerry was putting his enemies in charge of his campaign.
I think Kerry knows this, b/c if they were that indispensable, he would have them on his team from the getgo .........but Kerry's that desperate.
