It is bizarre that a party most commonly associated with manipluation of 
election law and spirit is the one complaining the most. I hate to draw 
a sniper paralell, but like the talking heads say: "maybe the sniper 
wanted to get caught"

Al Gore did a damn good job convincing people he's the clueless dolt we 
all suspected him of being, we get Senators running for re-election in 
Baghdad, Daschle keeps peeing his pants on national TV, Liberal 
Democrats insist that the country and government are opposed to Bush 
while they vote for his actions and the polls show consistent support.

Bssed on just the last few weeks, I'd say that any Democrat confidently 
stating that the Democrats will keep their power is a good thing indeed. 
They're on a roll, they can't get a damn thing right these days.

I wonder if their sense of bipartisanship cooperation will extend to 
handing al Gore to the sacrificial pyre in 2004. It would be good 
policy. He's not going to go away, and there's no-one in the Democrat 
party that has the balls to clearly say so. So, in an election year 
where you face a dicey chance of success, throw in the sacrificial lamb 
- no need to burden a better candidate with a defeat..

Democrats are stuck with al Gore. For anyone to challenge him, they will 
have to state the obvious, that he's not all that bright, and he's 
clearly not the man you want running the free world in this day and age

The next couple of years are going to be great fun to watch, the 
Democrats are getting tackier than FOX (not to insult FOX). I'm curious 
to see wehther there is a Democrat other than Miller that knows how to 
bring the party back to an electable center - one that can do it without 
trashing a lot of basic constituency values.

I've never seen so many become so irrlelevant so voluntarily in so short 
a time, Carter, Clinton, stripped of legacy by reality....still stumping 
for themselves after all these years, one of them proud of recieving a 
prize that Yassar Arafat also recieved, the other angry at the slight.

I suspect political affiliation reflects that old adage: "half the 
people you meet are of below average intelligence"
