Democrats don't want to have another presidential candidate like John Kerry, and who can blame them? So, the AP reports, they're thinking of revamping their nominating process.
Kerry got the nomination because he was standing nearby when Howard Dean imploded. The nominating process was so front-loaded neither John Edwards nor Wesley Clark had a real chance to catch him.
Two plans presented at a meeting last weekend in Chicago would continue to allow Iowa and New Hampshire to have the first delegate selection contests. A third, presented by Michigan Democrats, would rotate the honor of going first.
All three propose a series of regional primaries following a couple of opening single state contests. This shows Democrats have learned as little about how to fix the nominating process as they have about how to appeal to a majority of the electorate.
Some Democrats think dumping the donkey for a new symbol might help. The New York Daily News reports three ad agencies have been commissioned to come up with a new emblem.
Might I suggest the chicken, to reflect Democratic foreign policy? Or the ostrich, to indicate the Democrats' refusal to recognize the world has changed since the 1960s? Or perhaps the vulture, to commemorate the Democrats' lust for bad news from Iraq?

The proper graphic emblem would be oozing dunghill.
The only conceivable way Hillary can get the nomination.

What are they discussing? New rules, a new emblem, but not surprisingly, no new ideas
Thanks for adding a "rear-ender" to the discussion!
Char :)
And if Edwards or Clark had caught Kerry, it would have meant...what?
Yawn!
LOL!
"New rules, a new emblem, but not surprisingly, no new ideas"
You are so right. It's sad that so many presumably smart and no doubt well paid people can't see this.
But I suppose this is the price they must pay for having fallen into lock step with the radical, stalinist, left for the last 30 years or so.
No new ideas are permitted.
No military uniforms permitted!
"And if Edwards or Clark had caught Kerry, it would have meant...what?"
Right, that's basically what I said on another thread on this same basic issue, changing the primary process.
Edwards was bad enough on the stump as the Veep. Clark came across as at least as looney as Dean. For a while I thought they'd blown it by rejecting Dean, but now that he's head of the DNC, it's clear I was wrong about that. I don't know the last time America elected a churl to be president, but they won't be doing that in the age of Oprah.
In my 20/20 hindsight Kerry was the best they had. And it is arguable that could he have made up his mind on ANYTHING, and had he not been a comrade in arms with Hanoi Jane Fonda, he might have even prevailed.
Two bigs ifs, admittedly. But none of the others were a wit better. And if they think they can win with Hillary, good luck on that count too. The really, really, really, really sad part is, Kerry was the best they had, and Hillary is the best they've got.
The Butch governor from AZ should be in that pic...she has them all beat
Fruits and Nuts would work
"Or perhaps the vulture, to commemorate the Democrats' lust for bad news from Iraq?"
ROTFLOL!! I am finding this so interesting a statement because I have been using the word "lust" in connection with the Newsweek story .. and then here is Kelly using that exact word .. I just find that funny.
The statement I used was: In Newsweeks "LUST" to damage and embarrass the Bush admin and our military ..... LOL!!
I love it when the media steals our words and then says we NEED A FILTER.
