Dean always makes a point of saying how many new people he's brought into politics. The "new people" are not avid Democrats who will support anyone with a D after his/her name. These are people who will become disaffected from politics once again.
If Hillary pulls that parachuting-in stunt, and takes the nomination away from Dean, she will be dead meat. She may be leading all the other Dems. in national polls, but she is not leading by getting 60 or 70% (or more) support of Dem voters, she is getting 43%, 48%, etc. I think the great probability is that the other 50-60% of Dems. *hate* her (maybe not as much as we do, but hate her nonetheless). She has ticked off people like Susan Sarandon because she voted for the Iraq war, and her new-found "moderation" has certainly not won converts among Republicans!
Virtually everyone who's met Bill Clinton has said he's the most charming man they'd ever met, including *Brit Hume* who's hardly a Lewinsky wannabe. WHO HAS EVER SAID THIS ABOUT HILLARY?
Bill never won a majority of the vote. Even with his charm, and his devastating "come hither" good looks (ha!), he only got a plurality. What gives anyone the impression that Hillary could do better? And she would have to, as the Republican registration has risen mightily since 9/11, and the "red states" have more electoral votes since the census.
What Southern state could Hillary win? Tennessee? West Virginia? Arkansas?
(BTW, Congressman Billybob, loved your piece ...)
Any one with women in it.
There are women in Tennessee, West Virginia, and Arkansas, are there not?
