Democrats come out swinging (at each other)

HANOVER, N.H. - Hardly any political signs. Hardly any political conversation. Hardly any interest. Don't let anyone tell you that political fever has broken out up here in New Hampshire.

Of course, it is eight months before the presidential primary. But while most people are planning their week by the lake and thinking about summer -- the warm weather and sunshine have come late here, as they have in most parts of the East -- the early political maneuvering has begun and the early themes are apparent. There's every reason to think next winter's New Hampshire primary will be, as Sammy Sosa would say if he were a New Englander, a corkah.

Sounds like the normal state of affairs for DemocRATS pre-Clinton.

Suspect Shribman may be right. This may indeed be a demonRat "race to remember." Whenever I think about their candidates, I'm tempted to throw back my head and laugh. It's not that I'm smug about a Bush victory in '04 -- I may require hospitalization if he loses -- it's just that their current field of aspiring presidents all appear implausible and a bit ridiculous to me.
The will Hillary/won't Hillary run question doesn't amuse me. Anyone out there care to chime in with their opinion?
