Here’s my thought - it is nearly impossible for a male democrat running for president to look manly. The belief system and rhetoric in and of itself is indecisive, nuanced (read:weak), and downright effete. Clinton didn’t exactly rack up the votes he had Ross Perot as a lead blocker clearing a path for him. Obama looks like Dukakis looks like Kerry looks like Gore looks like Carter because liberal men are by definition metrosexual sissies.

1988 Dem convention is on the tv.

I am 5 years old. I like the f word.

Mom didn’t mind for once!

The Dems brought all this on themselves. It’s no secret that Hillary would have been a much better campaigner for prez than Obama. She’s not qualified either, but Obama is abysmally unqualified. Hillary comes close to that, but still has more political savvy than the Anointed One. Just no charisma or good speaking voice.

didn't chris rock say something like:

"We'll never see a black vice-president. A black president, yes, but not a black vice-president. If there is, I'll shoot the white president to get a black president. And if I'm arrested? I'll be a hero in prison until I'm pardoned by the new black president!"

I hope that broad from Salon doesn’t bill herself as an “impartial journalist”.

Yeah, good one. And if Barry picks HRC for VP (and gets elected), we won’t see a black president for long.......

If they are grieving now, just wait until NoBama gets less electoral votes than Dukakis.

Uh, that was a joke. “Kathleen” is his wife, a reporter on one of the local DC affiliates. See, you said, “Matthews needs some Viagra” and I just thought... well.... um, well, I, uh... ahhh, forget it.

And Dukakis had a big lead coming out of the convention.
