senator, what ever possessed you to cast a vote that would have allowed Saddam Hussein to annex 75 % of the world known oil reserves?

I don't really think that something that long ago can be a killer bullet. Most of the Dems were in the same boat. Meanwhile the Democracy thing in Iraq has the potential to blow up a bit in Bush's face. The interesting thing will be to see how much Kerry's war record can cut into Bush country if he gets the nomination. As I said, the dangerous thing is that these rather talented politicians get a lot of practice in a primary campaign in jettisoning what doesn't sell. And Kerry and Edwards are both talented. Make no mistake about it. In fact, I smell a possible ticket.

Poor Dean. In some ways, I feel for him.

A Kerry-Edwards ticket?

Congratulations, President Bush...you've just been re-elected!

I think you are overestimating Kerry a bit. He's on record supporting massive reductions in defense spending during and leading up to 9/11/01. He opposed intervention when Iraq invaded Kuwait. These are not isolated instances. Yet he favored Clinton attacking Iraq. In other words his interests and loyalties are to his party first and his country second.

I could wrap that around him without even doing the opposition research. Kerry will sell well in the Northeast, though not New Hampshire, the coasts and the rust belt. Nobody in the south will be buying what he's selling which includes gun registration, homosexual unions, partial birth abortion and a Cadillac in every driveway to take you to the government paid Doctor of your wants.

I was hoping for Dean because I think Bush could beat him be enough to get a mandate for judges but no matter who else he gets the dems will get about half the votes and the republicans will get about half the votes.

I agree that Edwards could be formidable, but I still think Kerry is a dud.

Dole won Iowa in 88' too but still ended up losing the nomination.

I like Mrs. Dean - he should campaign more with her.
