LB, AS is not only a fan of Kerry....AS is downright in love with the guy....and hates Bush. Mention any negative about Kerry, and I'm sure he can sniff it and will be right there.....<g>

Dean's running the best race, I think. He may surprise the pros.

In terms of domestic politics, I see the Bushies like that statue of Saddam, grand and monolithic, chest out trumpeting dominant nationalistic power. But the feet may be made of clay. Hard clay maybe, but still clay. Who can bring Bushies down in 2004? It will be difficult with their control of congress (no subpoena powers for Dems) and strong edge in media control and money, but I picked Carter and Clinton to win long before the first caucus, and I am picking Kerry this time. But he will need a running mate who can win him Florida. That means Graham or Richardson (Hispanic vote). Florida may once again decide it. Kerry must first crush Dean in New Hamshire and tie Gephardt in Iowa. I don't see Lieberman inspiring Dems this time around, nor Edwards (who might not even be able to deliver NC) so that's my prediction, Kerry-Graham or Richardson. The wild card is Kerry-McCain. But it's going to be a tough-tough race and will probably come down to the wire. Another wild card is the Bush-Reagan gang's use of October surprises. In 2000, oit was their phony energy crisis which was in fact hugely criminal, but well covered-up now. Last November it was the urgency for a sudden Iraq War (though now we know there was no real reason for urgency). Next year, expect them to try and pick fights with either Iran or North Korea. Maybe even Syria. And of course Bush's best friend AL Qaida (politically speaking) could affect the election if they attack in a big way. PS: I have volunteered for John Kerry and help them raise money. So I put my energy where my mouth is.
