  • The Clintons would rather "win" on a technicality (changing the rules about whether or not to seat the Florida delegates) than to build consensus on ideas. They are relentless in their opportunism and self-indulgence.

  • The Clintons have proven to be incredibly opportunistic and willing to distract the Democratic Party in order to feed their narcissism. The problem with John Edwards is not with his message, but that he seems ill-cast to be the one to deliver it. He seems more like someone who should deliver a "high-technology," "new economy," and "knowledge workers" message, rather than fighting for struggling working households.

  • What was so bad about George McGovern? If the Democrats had supported the idea of McGovernism long after he lost to Nixon in '72, in the same way the Republicans stood by Goldwaterism long after he lost to Johnson in '64 then there would have been a liberal revival right about now, in the same way there was a conservative revival with Ronald Reagan. Dare I suggest that Ronald Reagan had ideas?

  • Very interesting analysis. Thanks for posting it. No African American Republicans? That, in itself, would seem to cast a shadow of doubt on the polling samples. Then again, this is Florida, where disenfranchisement of Black voters during the 2000 general election may well have further alienated Blacks from the Republican Party.

  • interesting analyses.

    But in the end you discover the american voters are stupid for voting to media candidates on both party.
