Byron York: How Bush will likely beat his 537-vote ‘landslide’

Which Kennedy?

I was born and brought up in an Irish-Catholic family in Massachusetts. I was introduced to politics at age 9 watching the conventions in 1960 and saw JFK elected to my families delight. It took Reagan to loosen the grip the democrats held on my parents. Thanks to JFK for many others they'll die before going republican.

Now that is starting to happen.

You so-called independents are just electing Rats. When the last independent that was elected President? I would love for Bush to be more conservative (especially fiscally), but half a loaf is better than none.

The GOP is starting to get it. If you replay JFK's speeches, and then play the ones by RR or W, you will see there is little difference.
People who loved what JFK stood for have to be GOP now. And many of them see it - if it is pointed out.

[Fledermaus]

The majority of R's now don't even represent the majority of R's in the party.

And I'd love to have a chance in next years primary to vote against Bush. Too bad no one will be on the ballot beyond the usual local people that run for the sakes of running. I applaud them. I might run myself.

I'm going to vote in the Dem primary so I can vote for whomever I think is the weakest against Bush.

Personally, I don't understand people that blindly follow party lines without criticsm.
