Because why not have a little fun with your existential angst?
Democrats only this round. The Republicans are a whole different kettle of fish, and I won't try to predict their maneuverings.
(I'm getting grief about the 300-character limit, but this is the only logical place to separate the diary. Is there a way to reprogram the filter not to ignore material below the break?)
- Hillary Clinton. The name. The money. The husband. The undying hatred of all the right people. She's got it all, for right now, but will the spirit of '92 win in a new generation?
- Howard Dean. Making the decision right now as to whether he wants to be the leader of the hottest, meanest Democratic PAC around or apply for the job of cleaning the Augean stables at the DNC. You will hear from him again.
- Barack Obama. Loved the landslide, but I'd like to see him, um, do something in office first before I get too excited.
- Wesley Clark. Ditto, but replace "do something in" with "win." I'd support him in a heartbeat over Mike "I Hate" Huckabee, if Governor's where he's aiming.
{ED note. New addition)
- Bill Richardson. Became governor of New Mexico with the largest vote share ever for an NM Democrat, but whose inaction down the stretch may have cost Kerry New Mexico.
6 to Infinity minus 2. Everybody else.
Infinity minus 1. John Edwards. I was gonna write a really cutting remark here, but I can't, in light of Elizabeth's diagnosis. Here's hoping treatment is quick, painless, and completely successful.
Infinity. John Kerry. What were we thinking? Here's what I'm thinking- next time we think a candidate's main virtue is electability, he should be summarily disqualified. We don't know what wins.
Add, supplement, or scoff as you like.
