The Democrats seem to have succumbed to a terrible bout of wishful thinking, like Michael Moore bringing a condom in his wallet to a Sports Illustrated swimsuit-photo shoot. - Classic!

That is not wishful thinking. That is physically impossible.

Moreover, again I have to poke out my mind's eye.

Kerry is the default candidate. Dean crashed and burned!

You're welcome. After Steyn, nobody makes me laugh more than Jonah. My only disappointment is that he didn't work in a Simpsons reference or quote into this one. ;-)

Why Kerry?

Because he's rich enough (or at least his wife is that wealthy) to self-fund his 2004 Presidential campaign... The Democrats are currently 90% short of their 527 fundraising targets for 2004.

They are losing their House races. They are losing up to 5 Senate seats, and they can't afford to run a decent Presidential campaign.

But if they nominate Kerry, then his wife gets stuck with the bill.

But rank-and-file Democrats should keep in mind that they feel about George Bush the way rank-and-file Republicans felt about Bill Clinton in 1996.

Not sure I agree with that. The real anti-Clinton candidates like Alan Keyes never came close to flirting with the nomination, as Howard Dean did in the Democratic primary. And unlike Kerry, Bush made it aggressively clear that he wouldn't be a reflection for conservative anger against Clinton.

I think the FEC has already "ruled" that she cannot donate to him at all.

No, they are married so she can give him money and *he* can donate to his own campaign.

But don't tell that to the Democrats. They're convinced his medals — which he kinda sorta, wink, wink, gave back — far outweigh all of this.

Heh-heh-heh... gotta love Jonah! :)
