Democrats roll the dice on Nevada
The party pushes aside New Hampshire in favor of a caucus in Harry Reid's home state, and its presidential hopefuls will pay the price.
By Walter Shapiro [2006-08-21]

  • "God Gap"? "Whores and Lap Dancers"?

    Where to start? This supposed "God gap" is mostly bullshit, and even if it isn't, is pandering to religioso goobers the way to victory? And this "lap dancer' comment seems to be coming stright from a Hillary staffer who knows Edwards is strong in a union state light Nevada. And of course, we all know there are only whores and lap dancers in Nevada; dese-dem-and-dose knuckleheads in New York; taciturn Yanks in New Hampshire, etc. Geezus. And as far as Kerry's early nomination contributing to his Swift Boat paralysis in August 2004, what the hell does that have to do with it? More likely the professional election losers -- the Democratic Beltway consultants like 0-for-8 Bob Shrum -- told him to lay low and not annoy anyone. Nice call.
