After 2000, there was much talk that Gore would run, and he decided against it very very late. The grassroots are not cheering for Kerry. I think mostly because they expect Hillary!

Hi AD.

I think you're right, although it makes my stomach hurt to think about it. :-(

The left-most prominently, the rabid, feral wing of the feminist movement, but also the New York/D.C. media matrix-is the only group that still buys into this collective fantasy.

They're the only ones-with the possible exception of the extremely paranoid right-who believe that HRC has a legitimate shot at capturing the brass ring four years hence.

Believe me, if she emerges from '06 with less than a 55% majority of voters her goose is cooked. You can essentially write her political obituary at that point.

Actually, I think it was decided for him and that is likely why, coupled with his belief that he really did win in 2000, he looks as bad as he does. Bitterness wears on a person.
