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.

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?
