''We are near rock bottom,''

Near. Not near enough. They'll get there.

''The good news is, there's nowhere to go but up.''

No, that is not true. There is still rock bottom. And the Democrats may end up going the way of the National Republicans, with Bush as their Jackson.

''I share some of the frustration -- not because of where Bush is, or all the money he's raising, but because I want a little more of Harry Truman in the party,'' said former Illinois senator Paul Simon. ''I want us to stand up and be willing to take unpopular stands.''

Is Simon on Mars? Geeze, that's all the Rat party does is take unpopular stands!

He continued: For that reason, Howard Dean, who comes out of nowhere, almost -- with all due respect to Vermont -- he has picked up a lot of steam because there is a feeling that here is a guy who really is fighting for things.

Same tired old drivel.... Rats think the public wants to hear about them "fighting for things". Thank God they haven't a clue that their constant pessimism and negativity is not only a huge turn off to the electorate, but so very old already.

'We are near rock bottom, " ... ''The good news is, there's nowhere to go but up.''

Political rock bottom was demonstrated in the 1993 Canadian election. The Progressive Conservatives were Canada's ruling party from 1984 to 1993. In the 1993 election, they won only 2 seats in Parliament out of 295. A comparable Democrat performance in 2004 would be 3 seats in the House, and zero of the 33 Senate seats up for grabs.

Now that would be something to see! This is where Bush's $200M will come in handy.
