Yes john kerry was probably the biggest stuffed shirt the dems have thrown out there to run for President ever. But I can't help but think they did it knowing he would lose. You have to know the dems are ALREADY primping hitlery for her '08 Presidential run.

God help us all.

A few weeks ago I would have been very concerned about that but I don't see that being allowed to happen. Just my opinion, she may run but I don't think she will win the primary. Kerry was put out there because he won the primary, Dean was slated for that but had his lunatic meltdown so Kerry became the second fiddle candidate who went with the flow and never could find his own soul.

Hard to say - it depends on the state of the nation in 3 years. I don't hold much faith in Bush, and if the country is as messed up as I fear it may become under him, we may (regrettably) be facing a Hillary - bad. I highly doubt Kerry will run again. The only reason he ran this time is that no strong Dems would risk their political capital by stepping forward to face an incumbent.

Like the voting booth comment, it's "not" all that matters - society is not a simple tabulation of votes. Society os composed of living humans that are all part of the equation. Yes the president won, but the margin of the win is an important indication of the strength of his support and/or opposition.

Certainly, with a Republican House and Senate, he virtually has carte blanc to do as he pleases for the next two years. But the grand scheme of things is certainly more complicated than "he won and that's all that matters".

Cmon Andy----please explain the grand scheme of things--just a little start would be preferable to nuances, insinuations and bashing. Are we all victims of the voting machine witch? Sorry I'm just not getting what you think is happening and what you think we should all be doing about it?

Hillary won't run in '08 if she knows what is good for her political career. She has too many skeletons in the closet to run an effective Presidential campaign. Besides, she confuses me. She is way too liberal on some issues but I could easily envision her ordering an invasion or assassination if she was in the mood. :

Andy - 1984 is an example of what can happen at both extremes of the political spectrum. The two sides in the book represent all that is evil in both the Neocons and the Liberal Socialists.
