I'm sure the DNC already has a pretty good idea, and that some bigtime "personal destruction" anal exam stuff is going on right this minute.
October Suprise...
Maybe the popular James Carville could return to LA and file as the Democrat choice for the Rodney Alexander House seat. He would probably win only along the MS River (Faulkner-like) country though.
This might interest you.

Swift boat's hits
By Donald Lambro
"... Many Democrats fear he waited too long to respond to the barrage of attacks from the Swift boat Vietnam veterans ...
"'The ads have been running very strong in this state, which has a high population of veterans,' said West Virginia Democratic Chairman Mike Callaghan, who thinks Mr. Kerry waited too long to answer them. 'If I were Kerry, I would have responded sooner,' Mr. Callaghan told me. 'It has had an impact.'
"Other Democratic officials around the country, privately and publicly, agreed.
"In Wisconsin, for example, another state where Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has run ads, top Democratic officials no longer make any pretense the state (which Al Gore carried in 2000) remains in Mr. Kerry's column.
"With Mr. Kerry defensively backing away from one of his major Vietnam War stories and switching positions on national security issues from week to week, it is no surprise Democrats are getting jittery about his campaign. 'There's a lot of nervousness about how close it is, a lot of nervousness,' Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Gordon Fischer told me."
