You didn't think the Democrats had a chance anyway, did you?

Their current frontrunner is banking heavily on the Bush-hatin', which does great things for his chance at the democratic nomination. But he doesn't need to sway the loyal Democrats, which is what 99% of the Bush-haters are anyway. And he doesn't need to sway the youth. Despite what you may have heard in popular media, the 'youth vote' has never made a difference.

He needs to sway that oh-so-important undecided 20%, and he's not going to get them with a straw-man baddie. The only way the Democrats have a chance at the next election is if something unexpected and terrible happens in the next year. Something that make Bush look even worse than he does now, and that might take some serious doing.

The smart Democrats should be positioning themselves for 2008, which might be what Gore is doing. Personally, I'm hoping for the chance to vote for Liberman, which I almost certainly won't be getting in 2004. Unless of course Dean finds himself in a Gary Hart situation.

Of course, once Bush is unable to run again I might get the chance to vote McCain. Or maybe some other decent Republican, 'cause Cheney won't be running.

As for Saddam's trial, I'll allow that the World Court might have a better claim to him that the U.S. Government. But I'd like to hear good reasons for the World Court having more of a right to try him than the Iraqis.

Whoever it is, I hope he doesn't get death. I just don't think that will work out especially well.
