"If you want the Democrats to have a chance to recoup in 2004, you'll be rooting for Frost next week. "Back to the future" was a snappy movie title. Aping that course, which Pelosi's election would represent, is a prescription for disaster."

I'll be rooting for Pelosi. She'll win. Their hatred of America will overcome reason.

Hey I'm hoping Al Gore drags the party left and Pelosi wins.

I'd like to see the Democratic party bleed to death before my very eyes...

If you want the Democrats to have a chance to recoup in 2004, you'll be rooting for Frost next week. "Back to the future" was a snappy movie title. Aping that course, which Pelosi's election would represent, is a prescription for disaster.

What Kramer (and every analyst I have read -- and since Tuesday, I have spent about 10 hours a day on FR -- BTW, not at work, I'm on vacation) misses is that either way the Dems are sunk. If Frost wins, the left-wing of the House Democrats will feel disenfranchised that another "white boy" won. They are not enamored of the "pragmatism" that Frost represents and would be *happy* if the conservative and moderate Democrats alienated by a Pelosi win -- Frost's main argument -- crossed over to the Republican aisle. (Pragmatism is not always a virtue of the politically committed. There was a segment of the freeper population that was happy when Jeffords crossed over.)

The CBC is especially ticked off at "Southern White Boys" who did nothing to support their members McKinney and Hilliard when they were challenged in primaries. That he is also Jewish will not be an endearing characteristic to the anti-semitic avant garde of the CBC and their commie fellow travelers.

And the Feminazis of the House will not be thrilled with "Southern White Boy" Frost either. Even if loves abortion.

I watched Frost's press conference today. He is one mean son of a b*tch. Comes across as even less likable than Newt.

Either way, we win. A San Francisco Democrat who alienates conseratives and moderates, or a mean Southern White Boy who alienates almost half the House Democratic Conference. I love the way internecine warfare smells in the morning.

I'd put getting Pelosi elected minority leader as just slightly more important than the RATS keeping Terry MacAuliffe in insuring future GOP success. The only thing that would top it would be the election of Barbara Boxer or Patty Murray as Senate minority leader.
