I would fear more from Lieberman than Edwards.

Really. I'll probably die never having voted for a Democrat, but Lieberman's one of about two Democrats in recent years I could conceivably have voted for.

But only if he switched parties first :-)

I think the Democrats made a MAJOR error in not giving a Lieberman candidacy more thought. Lieberman would have totally neutralized Bush's advantage on national security issues.

I told friends of mine that, although I would certainly not vote for Lieberman in the event that he was nominated, it would not be the end of the world for me if he was elected. He would have been a strong leader. If Lieberman's tough national defense stance could wrest a concession like that from a GOP diehard like myself, what could he have done with the great mass of politically moderate American voters?

Instead, the Dems are stuck with a candidate who surely looked moderate in contrast to the firebrand Dean, but who is actually to the left of Ted Kennedy and inspires no passion among his party's rank-and-file (reportedly, the Kerry camp is having real trouble finding volunteers). Once again, the "moronic" President Bush has stimulated the foolish instincts of his thickheaded opponents.
