Re: Dems real task of winning the election.
I'm not so sure they see that as their task. I'm unconvinced that the Dems want the White House next year. If they did, why would O'Bama and Hillary be getting all the money, spotlight, coverage, etc. Of the Dem flock, their best candidate and ONLY candidate who could win a general election is Edwards. And he has to fight to be noticed. If the Dems really wanted the White House, Edwards would be everyone's favorite. But, he's not. The conventional wisdom is that he is already an "also ran" that might get a second shot at playing second chair.
FWIW, here's one Democrat that won't vote for the Democratic candidate if either O'Bama or Hillary is the Democratic nominee. If either of them is the best they can do, then I fear the Delays, Roves, Armeys, et al. were right all along - the Democratic Party is irrelevant.

Is that O'Bama guy Irish, or what...?
Or is this some special snub that's reserved for him -- as opposed to H'illary, B'ush, E'dwards, et al?

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Childish snub, actually.
Alabama University was known to its fans as "Bama" (particularly those like me, who thought college football here was not worth watching after Paul "Bear" Bryant retired from Alabama). I'm reasonably certain that if, instead of pronouncing his last name Oh-bah-ma, it was pronounced Oh-bam-a ("bam" as in "Alabama") he would take offense. The apostrophe was my way of indicating how "bama" should be pronounced. I'll grant that even now as I explain it, there was very little in the way of humor about it.

I will vote against hillary if she gets the nod
I dont think much of any of the current repos. Called SC Senator Graham's office to see if he was going to run but they said he was gonna sit this one out. Edwards is the viable candidate with concrete plans.
thanx,
bill

Gack!
You're a fan of Mr. "Libby should be pardoned, but Clinton should have been impeached for doing exactly the same thing."? Stunning.

Excuse me?
I voted for Edwards in the primary in '04. I *like* Edwards. I was responding to your post about that idiot from South Carolina named Graham. You used to like that sap, I'm pleased to see you upgraded. ;0)

Well...the democrat party
definitely has issues in the upper ranks. (So does Republicans...how else would we get Dubya)
(I mean, look at Kerry. How the hell does he get the nod? Sigh. He still reminds me of Bob Dole.)
Clinton is a force in the party. Like her, hate her, there are a LOT of Democrats who respect her (and she does have control of a boatload of money).
But I think the traditional forces in the democrats are weakening. Dean shook things up a lot. Who knows what happens next?
