The difference is, with Britney Spears demographic, an explanation of who Bush and Hitler are would be in order. If like, fer sure, they don't appear on the pages of Seventeen, the recognition may be lost.
Nice job. I agree with you that this issue is not neatly dividing people in terms of philosophy (right/left) or party (Democrat/Republican). Not only that, nearly everyone seems favorably disposed to the idea of taking away Saddam's toys and showing him the door. The disagreements seem to concern precisely how to accomplish these ends.
I have no idea how these ends will be accomplished, but they will be accomplished. Of that I'm sure.
Well, I suppose it's possible that Jodi Wilgoren sees this candidacy as legitimate, but she begins her piece as follows: "This is the eighth article of a series about the prospective Democratic candidates for president in 2004."
There's a real possibility that Ms. Wilgoren just feels obligated to write about everyone who has declared his/her candidacy. It's a close case, but I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. It's the decent thing to do, I think. :o)
I'm still very confident that our folks know what they're doing here. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting everything we want without having to fire a shot.
