January 28, 2004Small Glimmer of Hope
While Dean still has more delegates than Kerry, I'm sure the media will ensure that neither Dean nor Edwards nor Clark can get much traction on February 3. Nonetheless, there is a small glimmer of hope for the general. A Newsweek poll finds that:
52 Percent of Voters Don't Want to See Bush Re-Elected (44% Do), 37 Percent Strongly Want to See Him Re-Elected, 47 Percent Strongly Do NotAs I said before, maybe Bush will do himself in regardless of whether the Democrats put up the most uninspiring candidate possible (except for Lieberman). The party won't change, the country won't change, many of us can go back to being rightfully cynical and uninvolved, but at least Bush would be out of office and that would be something.

From your lips to God's ear. Kerry may still be able to beat Bush, but only if Bush beats himself. And, even if Kerry does win, he will most likely be Kerry-Chow to the Republicans in Congress. Kerry appears to be another in a long line of Democrats who will offer an olive branch to the Republicans only to express surprise when they turn around and shove it up his ass. Posted by: Chris Andersen at January 28, 2004 12:28 PMIt appears that Bush will have 9 months to prepair his set of excuses whcih will include; 1) Cheney made me do it and I got rid of him 2) WMD intelligence was faulty - not my fault 3) Kerry, Clinton, Gore all backed up my policy of going after Saddam Hussein 4) Kerry also voted for the key points of my domestic agenda, tax cuts and education bill - no child left behind, just as he voted for the Iraq war on my terms
I'll definitely go back to "decline to state" in terms of party affiliation ... Posted by: Janis at January 28, 2004 09:51 PM |
