George Bush is going to win a surprising share of Democratic votes this year. The firemen's and policemen's vote. The Nascar vote. The motorcycle vote.

I'll believe it, when I see it, and not before.

Neither side will move this year. The battle is for The Sheep; it always is.

" like a Baptist preacher going after flagrant sins"

I personally thought he sounded like (and looked like) Billy Graham, calling both parties to repent of their sins.

I liked the article for how it described Miller, and the rest of the dems. I'm superstitious when people make grandiose claims of future victories. I'll celebrate when it happens, but I believe everyone should gird their loins for a hard slog.

He has the obligation of fitting into a literary form, as demanding in its way as a sonnet. His task is to penetrate through the details, fire like a laser straight into the heart, spear the essential sin and betrayal thriving there, and explode the grip of their tentacles. His task is to lead the sinner, with the light of that explosion, to mend his ways.

Those were the good ole days, and it's a nice analogy...... but it sounds like it's been a while since this guy has been to a baptist church...

Could be because he's Catholic, and I don't think he's from the South, where Catholics DO know what Baptist preachers sound like. ;o)

as evenhanded as Joe Klein

Isn't that some kind of oxymoron?

Yep... he's stereotyped baptist preachers with the 1970's model. He doesn't realize that today it's all about not making your congregation feel uneasy, or any discomfort..... because it's really important that they come back next week you know.... It's all about the "feel good" sermons to often.

Nope, the MSM will claim "Barnum's Dictum" in that you can "fool all of the people some of the time" or a variation of that theme.

MSM will never ever admit they were wrong, it will be closer to wailing and gnashing of teeth while hurling epithets at the VRWC.

He laid out bare the essential point of the last 35 years, ever since the call for surrender in Vietnam. ... That was the exact point on which the great tradition of the Democratic party was destroyed from within.

Baloney. The demoncrats were a hideous monstrosity by the time FDR worked his socialist evil on America, if not sooner.

I'm pretty sure that in making his references FDR, Truman and JFK, that he's going back to when dems and pubbies recognized the need for a bipartisan foreign policy and the need to confront evil. The dems, with a few exceptions, became the party of pacifism in Vietnam.

Yeah, I see your point. I think maybe "great tradition" was laying it on a little thick, but I get your point on foreign policy specifically.
