it is still so early in the contest, so much can develop in the next few
months. A lot of the candidates are going to go up and down a lot. If
we have one candidate now there is so much time for a lot of dirty
tricks. I think at Dean's speech he gave in New Hampshire where there
were those two bizarre hecklers that might be the start of 'dirty
tricks' you know trying to get him to loose it and start screaming
again. dean seems to have stopped the disaster for now. (on the radio
they are referring to his Iowa speech as "i have a scream speech") I
was thinking today that John Kerry has a sort of Edward Muskie/m Dukakis
aura. I hope the Demos are really prepared for a lot dirty and unfair
happenings far worse than the voting fiasco in Florida. Bush and
company are determined to win at any cost. I expect a lot of national
alerts leading to suspension of election..no that would be going too
far.
