Despite widespread unhappiness with the Republicans, it is hard to envision a majority party run by Howard Dean, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

My God, that's a nightmare!

And then there's Iraq. The recent killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the establishment of a complete Iraqi democratic Cabinet will not ensure a quick victory, as we see from the recent slaughter of American captive soldiers. But both events still weaken the liberal clamor that the American effort at birthing democracy is doomed in Iraq.

Let's make it a two-fer and get bin Laden too!

Well, the dems had intended upon shouting "culture of corruption"...except that it appears at least as many democrats are guilty of corruption as republicans...so all they're showing themselves to be by that shout is that they are hypocrites as well as corrupt.

Don't forget that the "culture of corruption" was pretty much DOA even before the William Jefferson freezer fiasco.

It's pretty easy to diagnose the Democrats' problem: they are all stuck in the 1970s. They think Iraq is Vietnam, Bush is Nixon, and the economy stinks because General Motors is in trouble. That era was the high-water mark for liberals and they have been pining away for it ever since. The liberal media echo chamber continues to spout the antiwar, corrupt-government, class-warfare rhetoric of the 70s. But we aren't in the 70s anymore. Listening to them is like listening to a 45 record in the era of the iPod.

Still another nightmare would be John Conyers as head of the Judiciary Committee.

Uh, wasn't 1964 when the 'Rats were running an incumbent Pres, former VP and Speaker of the House, not a former Senator or governor?

Lyndon Johnson was the former Majority leader of the Senate from Texas before becoming JFK's VP. Ironically, Sam Rayburn, was Speaker of the House at the time and also from Texas.

All that being said, if the Republicans don't come up with a viable candidate pretty soon there won't be much of a race.

The way I see it now is, all the Democrat have to do is show up. They have the desire to win at any cost.

And besides all that, 2 million Vietnam veterans realize that Democrats are the enemy of freedom.
