Novak has betrayed the USA when he OUTED a CIA operative for his mistress(master) at the DNC.

So the question arises in reasonable people's minds: Can Novak believed at all?

Well at least Dean is the first physician ever to run for the Presidency in the US, not a disgusting shyster lawyer like the Clintons. Beyond that feature, Dean is singularly unqualified and a bloviating demagoge.

The answer to Dean is Hillary, if she wants the nomination.

[samtheman]

One traitor writing about another traitor. But anyway, I find it believable, that the DNC is depressed about Dean the Traitor leading their party to certain defeat.

"The Dean dilemma was spelled out to me by a sage Democratic practitioner whose views I have sought since 1968. He has felt for months that the former Vermont governor faces horrendous defeat against President Bush. Last week, this party loyalist told me he felt Dean will be nominated unless an act of intervention stops him. He added that he is sure Dean can be stopped but at the cost of unacceptable carnage. Implicitly and reluctantly, therefore, he is swallowing Dean."

Excuse me? "a sage Democratic practitioner"?

According to my dictionary SAGE = wise, [can't be that] or a plant, [hmmm ....... I wonder] or green.

Inasmuch as this "sage" is "swollowing Dean", I would suggest the "sage" must be green.

Afterall, isn't that what happens to one if they igest poison?

Dean is the least of The Democratic Crime Syndicates fears. The American Soldier is the Person of the Year (2003) for fighting foreign enemies. The American Voter is the Person of the Year (2004) for fighting domestic enemies.

Hillary is out of the question at this point. The only person I see that would sit well with the Deaniacs, might be Gore. If Hillary is forced down the throats of the Deaniacs, 1/3 of the Delegates will walk out of the convention. Not likely, but the Gore endorsement of Dean might have been an establishment play to set up Gore as their candidate who might be able to gain the support of the Deaniacs. I think Gore-Dean is the only plausable alternative to a Dean-led ticket.

Note: Clark is not out of the picture yet.

This situation is made possible by Democratic reforms following the tumult of 1968. In 1972, at least, the party establishment fought to the bitter end attempting to block the nomination of George McGovern, because his loss of 49 states was widely anticipated. The final touch to the reforms has been added in this cycle by Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe, whose front-loading of primaries was designed to pick an early nominee.

This paragraph is probably the most significant in the entire article. Dean has said he would replace McAuliffe if nominated and if Dean is nominated the less liberal Democrats may be out for McAuliffe's scalp. Thus, the Clintons could be the biggest losers because it will dawn on liberals and others that the Clintons destroyed all Democrats for their own self interest.

Even if he is upset in Iowa by Rep. Richard Gephardt, it is hard to imagine Gephardt with enough money in the bank to battle Dean down the long primary election trail.

Good news.

Sen. John Kerry is seen as the only Democrat with the potential wherewithal to contest the money-heavy Dean, but Kerry's performance has been one of the year's great political disappointments.

More good news.

As the economic outlook brightens, Democrats depend on the situation in Iraq to defeat Bush. That only deepens the party's dilemma.

Still more good news, especially with Khadaffy's WMD capitulation becoming seen as a result of GWB's tough terrorist policy. We must pray for continued progress in Iraq toward victory and peace.

Joe Trippi last week said the anti-Dean ad on foreign policy "panders to the worst in voters." Actually, the Democrats and Dean are out of step on the issue they think will move the nation. That makes it even more difficult to stop Howard Dean.

With Soros willing to spend a half-billion dollars to defeat GWB, my greatest hope is that Dean will win the nomination. Then, even with Soros' money, a Dean victory is unlikely.

He added that he is sure Dean can be stopped but at the cost of unacceptable carnage. Implicitly and reluctantly, therefore, he is swallowing Dean.

Methinks this is BS. If the DemonRats thought for a moment they had a viable candidate for Nov. 2004, they'd do whatever was necessary to get him nominated and win back the WH.

[fish hawk]

Question: If Dean gets the nomination, will a lot of Democrats vote for Bush? I hope so. It would make the biggest landslide election ever.
