A Kerry and Edwards ticket could be quite formidable, particularly if the hammer jobs and the deficit.

>> ... Hammer Jobs and deficit

Unemployment will be down by election time - and here is the untold story about unemployment, it's on the down turn already. I'm in Pennsylvania, and unemployment just feel to 5.1% ... I wonder out there - How many blue states have comporable or falling unemployment rates?

It looks like Bush is going to submit a budget with a 1% increase (heard some call it a 'freeze') in non-military and non-homeland security spending. I can hear the Dems cry about the starving children and the old folk eating dog food already. This is the perfect trap being set. The Dems words today will come back to haunt them if they want to get fiscal.

A Kerry/Cleland ticket would be tough, as well.

Kerry doesn't worry me at all. He has a well-documented liberal voting record, and liberals from Massachussetts are not particularly attractive in the South or in flyover country.

He talks like a snot, which in fact he is.

Dean may not make it as a candidate but as a Doctor he successfully made the other Dems more formitable with a gonad transplant. Methinks Clark and Gephardt also might emerge.

How many jobs are coming to this nation from other nations?

A B.B.C. programme this afternoon suggested that this was the Dems best chance of beating Bush. I agree, and it seems to be getting more likely. They balance each other in several ways, and giving them credit where it's due, they have both pulled off strong campaign gains in recent weeks. The first lesson of politics is never underestimate your opponent, the G.O.P. can (and should) ignore Dean, learn that they can about Kerry and Edwards, and be prepared to fight hard if this is the Democrat ticket.
