Because they are the lapdogs of the "machine". I find it disturbing how Dean is being handed his hat while the Democrat heir-apparent (and Skull and Bonesman) Kerry is given the ticket. As my friend put it, its like someone says, "Do you want to bet on the Raiders or the 49ers?" but a) you don't want to bet b) neither team appeals to you if you did bet c) and if you were inclined to bet, you would rather play poker where there is an element of skill involved on your part.

Most of the 1.2 billion dollars in pre-tax costs -- the bulk of which was for asset write-offs and employee severance costs -- would be incurred in 2004 and 2005.</font> TP
