The dimplecrats should just plead "no mas". I just got my sample ballot for the local primaries, and there are NO DEMOCRATS RUNNING, for any local office.

I cannot believe after all this time they still want Al Gore! This just proves that the Democreeps are going to lose the race BIG TIME!!

Good news for NC....Edwards in single digits. He'll lose NC senatorial bid too. Back to ambulance chasing, I guess. Sniff.

[finnman69]

Looks to me like it's going to be Lieberman...

[finnman69]

Would Lieberman pick Gore as a VP?

In NEW JERSEY?!? How in God's name did you get that lucky?

[Timesink]

Bring Gore on! i'd be more than happy to see Bush wipe the floor with him nice and clean and REALLY shut up the "we'll never get over it" crowd once and for all!

Going back a long way, unless a president screws up, the second term race is a lot easier to win than the first.

Let us go back to 1916. From 1896 until 1932 the Republicans easily held the office of president for all but the 8 years Woodrow Wilson held it. Yet in 1916 with out Teddy Roosevelt and his third party the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson still won a second term. At the end of the second term the Republicans won it back. And not even the corrupt administration of a Harding could elect a Democrat in 1924. It shows the power of being an incumbent.

Many thought that an economy that had not improved at all from 1932 until 1936 would defeat FDR in 36. But FDR won big time. Republicans had no plan to fix the economy and FDR was at least trying his plan. In a bad economy trying to fix beats trying to stop the incumbent from trying to fix. Harry truman won a second term on his own in 1948 even though the economy was bad. Harry had proposals to fix, the Republicans blocked him.

Ike won a second easy term in 1956. LJB got a term in 1964 and Nixon, Reagan and Clinton got second terms as well.

Only Jimmy Carter and Bush Sr failed in the second term tries. Both Carter and Bush Sr faced economic problems and neither offered a fix. That cost them their second terms.

So history for ninety years shows that a president can win relection easily.. even in bad times as long as the public believes he is trying to fix it and the out of power party is trying to stop him. If the out of power party is seen as trying to stop the in power president from trying to fix the economy,they can lose ground.

Winning elections is not rocket science. When times are good and the nation is at peace the candiate proposing to do NOTHING will win. The public reasons in good times that a candidate that proposes changes can screw stuff up. The public really says, "Don't fix it if it ain't broken."

When the times are not so good or times are dangerous, the public wants the problems fixed. The candidate that proposes fixes will win. The candidate and party that tries to stop him from trying his fix will be defeated.

It is really stupid. The Democrats are looking at the Clinton example and figure opposing Bush's initiatives is the way to go.The strategies that worked in the 90s good times are not worth anything in the new millenium.

Campaign logic is simple. If there are problems... the public wants them fixed. If there are no problems .. don't try to fix them.

I think you got the Republican primary ballow -- that's why there aare no Demos on it.

[expatpat]

ballow = ballot, of course.

Rush had a caller this morning who said he was wondering how many dems would stay home in the next election, due to the lack of a good candidate.

I certainly hope that's true, because it indicates the grass roots democrats may be about to give the dem leadership a dose of medicine.

I predict, that if this happens (dems stay home), this election in 2004 will keep the dems out of office for 4 decades. Some dem strategists are already saying this is going to happen. This does not bode well for Hitlery.

[areafiftyone]

Alot of the Dems are going for Dean. They think he represents the true Democrat. But alot of them say they will support whoever gets the nomination even Lieberman. They want Bush out of office so bad they can taste it. They will even vote for a Democreep they don't like just to get Bush out of office. They are obsessed with him. They call him AWOL, Hitler, Etc. All things they have made up in their demented little minds. I truly think they need psychological counseling!
