Just saw on Fox News. Gore is going to endorse Dean! Now Dean is sure to lose. Maybe the Dems will try a Dean-Gore ticket?

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Is Dean really a fiscal conservative?
The ads say he lowered state income tax twice.
If he is a fiscal conservative I'll vote for him. I can put up with his silly leftie ideas with little problem if he doesn't go raising taxes on me. -

Lots of governors lowered state taxes in the '90s. In case you forgot, there was an economic boom then, and that resulted in lots more revenue in state coffers.
Re the Bush tax cuts, some of the Dems (at least Leiberman) want to keep those aimed at the middle class tax brackets - Dean want to repeal them all. Im not sure if that makes him a fiscal "conservative" or not."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Yay!!!!
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Gore will endorse Howard Dean!
Yeah, who'd want that guy on their team? He only got the most votes in the last election.Originally posted by The diplomat

Dean has no chance at all to beat GWB so long as he continues to promise to increase taxes. The last guy to run on THAT platform carried maybe one state, or was it two?
Dean continues to poll 36% to Bush's 49%. This gap has held steady for months. Dean has said nothing of interest to anyone but far left Democrats. But his tax increase package frankly scares just about everyone else.
I also heard today that a Kerry internal memo has concluded that the Kerry candidacy is finished. He was one of the few Democrats that appeared to be in favor of the Bush tax cuts.
The Democrats are painting themselves into a corner with Dean.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

And still lost to Shrub. If Bush is a C student in Harvard, what does that make Gore?He only got the most votes in the last election.
His endorsement is the kiss of death for Dean.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Dean has a shot at victory:
1)Nader will have to die in some fashion, before he is on the ballot, or he will still get votes.
2)A fair trade conservative candidate will have to run as an independent. Buchannan might do this again.
3)Dean has to keep his mouth closed until november 4th, 2004. He can not be allowed to sefl destruct, His handlers have been asleep at the switch so far, with the confederate flag stuff, the metrosexual comment, the "i'm going to break into this club",etc.
Also Hillary may have to be taken out, it looks more and more like she will run.Comment

If doubt Dean will win. His re-regulation might get him some leftist votes, but he'd probably get those anyway. This is again just going to appeal to leftists. He should win the Dem nomination like this, but as Ned said, he stands little chance against an incumbant on a raise tax platform. Pity, but looks like 4 more years of GWB for the US

Buchanan is a protectionist xenophobe, not for "fair trade."A fair trade conservative candidate will have to run as an independent.

Gore didn't do much better than Bush in school, his intelligence is really overrated, but he is a bit more knowledgable...If Bush is a C student in Harvard, what does that make Gore?Stop Quoting BenComment

I'd love it to happen, but I seriously doubt it. Unless the WoT goes really badly, a higher tax, more regulation candidate, standing against an incumbent who can be attacked for being unpatriotic will need a hell of a campaign, and GWB to mess his up, to win.Originally posted by Sava

The only consolation that we would have if Dean were to actually win the WH is that there would presumably be a GOP congress there to tell him no, when he wants to start doing crazy stuff.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
