"I do not, I repeat, I do not feel the love tonight"

Me neither. I'm walking away until 6PM CA time. The Honorable Howard Dean has some love to share:) And Teresa Kerry has...flourishes (and fetishes?:) for later. I bought some beer and don't have a reason to open one yet:(

So far Kennedy has said nothing interesting. He's just all excited about the convention being in Boston.

Live threads are the best! You guys should have been around during the impeachment. No streaming video for the cubicle-bound. All reportage done by FR keyboard commandos.

Thanks for your support. We'll all need some strength to get through the next few days, but after that it will be downhill all the way for the Dems.
