<<If Kerry is elected, my hope is that gridlock, glorious gridlock, is the result.>> It may be the only chance we have at slowing government spending (I think we'd both agree that's necessary). Kerry may be bad, but Edwards would have been worse, IMO.

If Kerry is elected, my hope is that gridlock, glorious gridlock, is the result. Please BE SERIOUS. Look at what this administration has done. Gridlock would have been far far better. Plus under ANY rational president we would not have wasted $200B+ in Iraq, given billions of $ on an assinine medicaid bill and given BILLIONS in dividend rebates to the wealthy. So yes, gridlock MIGHT be better under Kerry. But Gridlock sure as H would have been better under Bush. If you have doubts on this you are nuts. If you want to say gridlock is always best I might not object, but to say it ONLY for Kerry is assinine. Mish

I agree that both are equally bad in different ways. But the end results will be more or less the same. "Tax and spend" crook is not going to be better than the "Borrow and spend" crook. Ultimately the tax payers are going to be holding the bag for all these idiotic adventures. True. I'm not a fan of Bush, but I think that Kerry is a rotten alternative. It will be an especially nasty campaign as is already evident from the rhetoric on both sides. If Kerry is elected, my hope is that gridlock, glorious gridlock, is the result.
