Well, if that were true the big DANGER seems to be that interest rates would return from their now abnormal low to historic norms, so whats the big deal? You can buy a home now and pay LESS INTEREST then I paid on my first home in 1972 and I had a preferred rate as I paid down 20% and took a 20 year loan. jdn

No Will to Win?
By BOB HERBERT

ready, aim. . . .

The Democratic Party's circular firing squad has assembled. Everybody's angry with everybody else. Joe Lieberman is trying to extricate the knife that, in his view, Al Gore deposited in his back. Al Sharpton is accusing Mr. Gore of engaging in the kind of "bossism" that belongs "in the other party."

The Gore and Clinton families are morphing into the Hatfields and the McCoys. And the runaway Dean machine, which has shown an impressive ability to amass campaign cash and early primary support, is now generating prodigious amounts of fear and loathing as well.

Representative Charles Rangel, who endorsed Gen. Wesley Clark at a press conference in Harlem yesterday (just 24 hours after Mr. Gore endorsed Dr. Dean in Harlem), said he didn't think Dr. Dean was a sure loser. But he was openly contemptuous of the Gore-Dean alliance.

"I'm here for General Clark, and people are asking me questions about Gore and Dean," he said. "The best I can figure out, they got in the cab and told the cabbie, `Take us to Harvard' — and the cabbie screwed up and took them to Harlem."

The Dems may indeed sink like the Titanic next year.
