A Look Back, Shrum for Nelson?
We've reached the end of 2004, and it has been an interesting ride. So let me offer a few thoughts.
1. I'd trade the Sox victory for a Kerry one. As a lifelong Sox fax, this is probably the most difficult conclusion I've ever reached - but nonetheless I've reached it.
2. The battle was lost, but the war is far from over. The Democratic Party is not dead, and half the country knows things are pretty lousy right now. We'll be back, and we should start acting like the antagonistic, obstructionist, minority party that we are. Anything short of that will allow the Repubs to continue to steamroll us.
3. President Clinton recently reminded us what a real leader is. And yes, the Bush Administration is stingy. We had an incredible opportunity to do good, and build international good-will - and we blew it. Can this idiot get ANYTHING right?
4. Bush owes me a Mars mission. Where's my damn Mars mission? If we're stuck with this idiot, the least we can do is let a couple of people escape the planet.
Kos and DD are discussing how Bob Shrum is already lined up for Nelson and Corzine. I will be the first to call for Shrum's head in the Presidentials, but the guy has a much better record on Senate campaigns. Let's win back the Senate...and keep this guy away from the Presidential candidates.
