…they end up betting the farm on Hillary Clinton in ‘08.

Not that I think she’d make a bad president, but *DAMNATION* its time to end dynasties in the White House. Are there no other families that can produce leaders?

This is a perfect example of how the Democrats have lost that progressive momentum of the 90s. Instead of trying to go forward with good candidates and a message that won’t frighten the timid oakies and weird-o’s that seem to make up some invisible majority of this backward country’s voting population, they’re content with either being reactionary by hiring high blood pressure angry rednecks to steer the party, or just digging up zombies from the blandest, lamest corner of hell to run as presidential candidates.

Its like they want to lose. That they’re some kind of marathon running masochist, knowing they’re too feeble and old to actually win the race, but they still run themselves until blood foams from their pores and they have to fall over and pass out from pure exhaustion, but they keep running every time. No, thats a lousy analogy.

Its almost like they’re there to provide a facade of choice. To let everybody know “Hey, its OK. Sure, you’re powerless to change the course of the country as it gets led by people who are increasingly proven to be vicious, corrupt, greedy, and dangerous, but you’re the one with the ballot”. Even if it does get run through computerized ballots, with no public oversight, from private companies with admitted political bents.
