The Candidate is Dead, Long Live the Candidate
So Dean is out, Kerry is in (my affections, that is--let's see if my talent at picking losers kills Kerry's campaign). I'm starting to like the idea of Kerry sailing into the presidency with his craggy, presidential visage. Dean is his bulldog, keeping those of us madder than hell at Bush happy, while Kerry can appear above the fray for those fabled swing voters who can't stand conflict or negativity even when it is justified. I'm rooting for Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, as second billing on the ballot. I hear only good things about him, and he has intelligence, Southern-ness, and Hispanic-ness all wrapped in one. Edwards, Dean, Gephardt, et al can all have cabinet positions, should it come to that.
Ahhh. A beautiful daydream.
And on to the reality of the current administration. Read yesterday's
press briefing for hilarity and insight into why these guys just have to go.
Keep voting in those primaries, keep sending money to the candidate of your choice, and show the Bushies that we are not idiots.
