With each ballot test that comes and goes, however, Kerry's position becomes more formidable. No major party candidate since the emergence of the modern primary system in 1968 has crossed as many hurdles as Kerry and lost the party nod.

[ctonious]

The interesting thing about this race is it's base simplicity. And I do mean base. The Democrats don't give a whit about positions or philosophies - only whether candidate X can beat Bush. So as some gather in one particular corner - the rest of the fluid and lowest-level seeking 'Rats immediately gravitate there - upsetting the boat - and hopefully sinking them by November.

I think Clarke specifically calling Kerry a communist and anti American due to the crap Kerry has been pulling over the last 30 years would change the face of the race.

No one is willing to take on the party apparatus. That's why this primary is meaningless. Annoint Kerry already, move the convention up to March and let the campaigning begin.

Ketchup Boy, Version 4.0

You say you served in Viet Nam,
My question is which side?
You pulled ahead in Iowa,
Hope you enjoy the ride.
Dean is toast and some dropped out,
But you don’t have a chance.
Even if you get to run,
We will not let you dance.
The democrats might pick you,
To lead their commie band.
But we will fight to keep you out,
You must not lead this land.

Well I guess it is up to Bill and Hill to torpedo him now or during the general election

[AlbertWang]

This is funny.

JFKerry is the new Mikael Dukaucus. You'll see Johny riding in a tank in October.

Bush blowout ahead. 45 states.

Yep, 45 states Bush. If Nader runs, it will be 46. You read it here first.

Clark is not an Arkansas native. Like Hillary, he is a Chicago native who later moved to Arkansas (in his case, as a child rather than as an adult).

Another buet.
As a codicil I would add.

You are no new Dukakis
But you carried long his hod
You fail to even amuse us
No matter how hard you prod

We find you very taxing
and not just of our wealth
You'll never be relaxing
and none will toast to your health

Go back to Massachusetts
and pasture your sorry line
where no one would give two -----
how you passed your time.

We already see damage control taking front seat on the mass homosexual marriage issue.

They have the interview with kerry stating he "personally" opposes homosexual marriage. Will he "personally" oppose raising my taxes as he raises them?

Will he "personally" oppose asking for a permission slip to defend the USA as he begs france at the UN?

[Liz]

That's great.

[Fishface]

The Clintons will never let the Democrat Candidate win in 2004. I can't wait to see how this election destroys either the Democrat Candidate, Kerry, or the Clinton's stranglehold on the party.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Well that stands buy itself. Just add a title.

Interesting. He is running his "poor boy from Arkansas" ad here in TN right now.
