I was so disappointed when Al Bore bowed out. Come on dems, pile on those polarizing figures who stand for nothing.

Happy New (old) Year!

Pray Dashole gets nominated. The avalanche of electoral vote coattails from Bush may bring the biggest Republican majorities to both houses of Congress since the 1920's.

Little Tommy probably figured the economy isn't going to turn around anytime soon and decided to make a run for it. I thought he'd still licking his wounds, well maybe we didn't do enough damage. Actually if HillDaBeast doesn't stab him in the back he'll probably be the front runner for the democratic nomination. Like that the idiot from fox, he may also be hoping that W screws up the war in Iraq, but since that's not likely to happen, a worsening economy is the dems best chance.

My concern and worry is that they're probably right about the economy, and if we don't see a recovery soon we may be toast in '04, may not even matter much who will run against W. The liberal media will surely do their part to keep the negative feelings about the economy alive, they did it in '02 and they'll keep on doing it this year, it doesn't take rocket science to see what they're doing. And if I didn't know any better I'd say there was a concerted effort to keep our economy from expanding, because they know it's their only chance back to power.

I am really looking forward to a landslide by W in '04, hopefully against Daschle. For that to happen though, we need to take the only real issue the dems will have and quickly turn it against them just like we did in the mid-term with Homeland Security. So bring it on little Tommy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

I wish him the same success that the last South Dakotan had running for President--George McGovern. Remember that McGovern didn't even carry his home state of South Dakota in the 1972 election.

[George W. Bush]

Thank you, God.

look at all the "expected" RAT-contestants for prez 2004 campaign, seems like they all have a fatalistic view of the senate prospects in the 2004/06 cycle...

look at who is expected to run...Dasshole, J-big-hair-Kerry, J-Liberalman, Bobby-cuban-cigar-Graham, J-the-other-Edwards..man, I sure feel like all the East Coast senRATS wanna jump ship far before the senate remains in Rep hands till 2008 (when the reps will have a more difficult run - all the REp freshmen will be up for 2nd term in 08)...

the funny thing about the MIA of ALgone is there wont be any giant killer in the demoRAT field for 04...

the way I see the senate race for 04 is 1) all depends on prez bush popularity - if Bush is still in the 60s - the RATS are finished 2) expect the unexpected - could Fitzgerald hold on - who knows, Moseley Braun may wanna spoil the party; how about Harry Reid - he is very vulnerable in NV, a state increasingly becoming heavily Rep....then the Dasshole Run...and who knows, if Gravvy Davis screws the Cali electorate bad enough, will the people republic of Mexifornia wanna replacement of Barb Boxer...what about Nickles in OK - he is gonna retire, how about Sen. JC Watts....or Ohio - will Vonivich wanna retire and Ohioians elect the highest ranking Black GOP as their next senator (could the Rep party put up 2 Black Senators in 04 to shame the RATS?? - one from the North, one from the South)...how about the match between Rudy and Chuckie...Chuckie is down 20 pts in the polls in a race with Rudy (and Chuckie is not in the media spotlight as long as Piliary is around)...3) how about a Kerry-Graham ticket in 04 vs McCain/?? vs Bush/??)..

I can't recall the last senate dual ticket win the prez election...the issue is if not Kerry - then who - Gary Hart, Wesley Clark - oh, pleaseee - but if Kerry carries the day, is he competitive enough for the South...Edwards look good on TV but can he even carry his home state North Carolina?? (Dole ran a weak campaign and still got 53% of the votes)...so could Graham a nice balance to get the latino votes - but would Graham wonna run second with Kerry...gonna be funnnn..
