Who knows?

I was just a kid and remember the campaign only vaguely. I do recall the sense that something had changed- a certain sense of shock and disbelief at what was going on. Dukakis seemed like a good guy and my parents who had lived in Boston for some time talked about him riding the subway to work everyday and being really decent.

I think the lasting affect has been that the dems have never really sorted out how to respond to the republican attack machine. Bush Senior won but he was a weak president and it had as much to with that as with Perot that Clinton squeaked out a win in 1992. Clinton was also willing to get in the mud if he had to and I think that is what a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters were backing when they supported her to take on the republicans this year. That is certainly what I heard from my Mom anyway and I understand, even though I disagree.

Getting to that slimy level is a way to win a battle but not the war. We need to fight on a level that takes that nonsense on but doesn’t validate the methods.

OBAMA 2008

Too good to get elected president, and probably too good to be a good president.

But a good man nonetheless.

I still blame Florida Naderites, myself.

... a conscience. Repugs are either born without one, or have it excised.

GOP = a person that had a conscience-ectomy

is Duka-Kool!

If only George Bush - either one of them - had that kind of a conscious.

But then they wouldn't be Republicans.

I'm surprised this quote hasn't gotten wider circulation:

"A woman voting for McCain could be like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders." Cecile Richards, daughter of the irreplaceable Ann. (she's also president of Planned Parenthood.)

His best choice and my best memory was his pick of Lloyd Bentsen as VP in 1988, when he slammed that original Empty Suit, J. Danforth Quayle.

I was in college at the time and we students got a good laugh out of it. Also, I met one of his daughters who visited us on campus. Bottom line, a good guy. But we now now what happens to the good/nice guy, after 20 years of Atwater/Rove.

Not this time!

Anyone who can put the GOP out of business for good should be deified. Anyone who failed to do so need not be vilified.
