This should be the one election that even the party of Dukakis couldn't screw up.

Great line!

When a candidate prepares policies and rhetoric for the fall, it's clearly better to do it in subtle, little nibbles rather than grotesquely large bites.

It is clear that by "prepares policies and rhetoric" the author means 'start lying so as to climb back to the Center'.

The next primary is in Pennsylvania, correct? I see Obama taking that one, but would that be enough to knock Hillary out?

I have a question for the Constitutional Lawyers out there.

McCain is old and not in the best of health. The animosity between differant factions in the communist party are getting worse and worse.

What if the D was assassinated and McCain died of say a heart attack both between the end of September and election day.

What happens? I have looked and looked and can only come to the conclusion that the electoral college could keep George Bush or just select someone. Or would it fall to the Speaker of the House (God forbid)?

It’s nice to see the dims tearing each other apart limb by limb, but at the same time it sucks that the only thing we have to look forward to is John McCain.

How is this “Bush’s Last Laugh”? Are they nuts enough to give credit to Bush for what’s happening in the dem party?

[adorno]

They have failed to articulate a critique of the wild Bush-era deregulation that has allowed the greed of banks to run amok.

Is that true? Wasn't it leftover Clinton era policies that got the banks and the sub-prime borrowers into trouble? Why is Bush getting the blame for something that, from what I've heard, was none of his doing?

Yep, the dems are in a bad state. Still, we can’t coount on them to self-destruct. I sure would like McCain to stop running from the economy and make a clear, unambigous case why either of these buffons would absolutely ruin the economy. All either of these two have done is proposed HUGE new government spending, a war on capitalism and taxes beyond what anyone could envision. McCain needs to head them off at the pass and start now so that when they do get a nominee and the theme turns to “its the economy stupid” the voters will understand that the dems plan for ensuring that nobody ever has to worry about the economy again is simple, they would destroy it.

Does anybody know what deregulation of the banking industry they are referring to here?
