The DemonCraps "will to power" may only have been exceeded by the Nazis and Bolsheviks.

**the hard-edged toughness of today's Democratic Party and the emptiness at its core.**

Good description of the Dysfunctional Daschle Democrats!

Perhaps the Dims have over-reached.
Will the combination of the orgy at the Wellstone memorial and their attempt to supress any campaign at all wake the Minnesota electorate?
Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Worth repeating, in bigger, bolder font:

Indeed, Democrats want no campaign at all. Hardly anyone engaged in today's politics remembers it, but campaigning never was Fritz Mondale's long suit. He was selected for all his public offices -- state attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president -- without entering a primary. He ran on his own for the presidency in 1984 in a campaign of unmatched confusion and mistakes.

Depravity, not audacity.

INTENSE Grief Evident At Wellstone "Memorial" From Clinton & Mondale - NOT!

Perhaps one of the unique things about this race will be that, since they are democrats, the deceased candidate will actually end up voting for his replacement.

The DFL could actually use this in their advertising. "Paul Wellstone will vote for Fritz Mondale, shouldn't you?"

In Minnesota and New Jersey the "party of diversity's" replacement candidates are rich old white men.

DFL chieftains immediately decided on Mondale, and quickly talked him into it. "I wonder whether there is such a dearth of new material that we have to recycle these old men," one veteran Democratic national operative told me. There was one other possibility: Alan Page, the 57-year-old former Notre Dame and Minnesota Vikings football star who has been an associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court since 1993. A law-and-order liberal, Page has led the state Democratic ticket in recent elections. According to Minnesota sources, he was eager to seek the Senate seat. But the DFL apparently did not want to risk running the African-American Page in an overwhelmingly Caucasian state, and Page was swiftly discouraged.

The ONLY message Dem candidtes have is to beg for "balance" meaning we need a Dem majority for them to have a "voice". They have NO solutions, ideas that strike a chord, etc. They are once again using the FEAR factor in that we have to have a Dem senate majority or Bush and the GOP will cause the end of the world.

This story has not been given enough play. Can anyone imagine any state Republican party doing this?
