Here's the question though...

Is it true that Bush and his people wanted Dean to get the nomination?

Is Kerry a more formidible opponent, or not?

(And yes, if Dean just commited political suicide, I will miss him! He was entertaining.)

No doubt the Bush people, and most Republicans hoping for a landslide, wanted to run against Dean.

But looking back on it, it was just too much to hope for. Even former Dem landslide losers like McGovern and Mondale were level-headed military veterans who, while wrong on the issues, didn't pose a clear and imminent danger to the republic.

It was just unrealistic for us to think, in our wildest dreams, that the Dems ultimately were going to nominate such a wild-eyed, unqualified nasty little piece of business like Dean.

So we shouldn't feel bad today. It was just never in the cards. Let's rejoice instead in the good sense of the American people, even the Dems, and take some schadenfreude out of the defeat of this thoroughly unpleasant man.

Yes...he would prove to be no competition, the man is mentally unstable, as we witnessed last night, his own party kicked him to the curb.

I have a funny feeling that Edwards is going to be the one, not Kerry.

Who knows what Bush/Rove wanted? They possibly leaked that because they really wanted Kerry or Edwards.

The last polls I saw, Bush trounces any of the 9 dwarves, including Kerry. I saw a poll not long ago where Bush beat Kerry in MASS!
