"I guess Ketchup Boy will now have to send out more flyers reminding everybody how he is a Vietnam Veteran."

"Hey, polls show me up in some & down in another. My poll shows me at 80% but the real poll is in a few months, Blah Blah Blah... "

Robert Novak is saying that if Dean wins in Iowa and New Hampshire he basically has a lock on it, because the system is so front-loaded now. How can it be that front-loaded?

The word was that McAuliffe and the DNC set up the primaries to allow a single candidate to grab the nomination quickly. This was supposed to help save money and the party infighting of a protracted race. Like the rest of their best designed plans, it looks like this will backfire. And why they ever thought that Iowa (with its caucus) or New Hampshire were sufficiently representative of the general electorate, I'll never know.

As I see the numbers For Dean, 21% For another DemocRat, 44%, and I guess undecided?, 35%.

[gbaker]

Which side was he on?


You really should consider those of us at work getting strange looks for incessant giggling. Please no more.

"Senator John Kerry, who was once regarded by some pundits as the strongest candidate is preferred by only four percent (4%)"

Just TOO funny!

[T Minus Four]

Kerry's a viet vet? Imagine that

Yes, if only this would get out!

[TheBigB]

I guess undecided?, 35%.

Buchanan, 35%

[SAJ]

Nah. Another $7.98 wouldn't help him at all.

All of which he tossed over a fence in a PR stunt.

He didn't toss over his own medals. He used someone else's. It shows how calculating and cynical he really is.

[kabar]

If his wife cannot give him money for his campaign, beyond the legal hard money limit, can she repay the 2nd mortgage he took out on his house? Anyone?

He can spend as much of his own money (and his wife's) as he wants. As far as I know, there are no limits to personal spending. Look at Ross Perot or Corzine.

Dick Morris says Dean may ask Hillary to be his VP running mate. The guy (Dean, I mean) must have a death wish.

[Malesherbes]

This is important news. If Dean does not select either Sharpton or Mostly-Fraud as his Vice-Presidential nomineee, it will be a clear indication of DISCRIMINATION. The Dem's most loyal voting block deserve no less.

Thanks for the info. January should be real interesting. They still have a month to try to pull the rug out from under Dean, so with a few more weeks like Dean has been having lately it could happen. Also, the press may get merciless with Dean if they smell blood. I think Gephardt is quietly lining up a lot of ducks in Iowa and may win there, and even it Dean wins New Hampshire he could still fall short of expectations there. As an illustration of how far from the mainstream Dean is, I noticed that even Soros said in his book that its a good thing Saddam is out of power. Apparently there are still about 3 democrats who aren't supporting Dean for each 1 who is, so maybe its not over yet. IMHO, the best possible ticket for them could be Gore/Dean, but of course that is almost impossible now.
