As I told you, the Democrats are in bigger disarray that meets the eye. Although the Presidential primaries are still a ways off, this CAN'T be good:"Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina leads a list of potential Democratic presidential candidates while Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack holds fourth place, trailing Edwards by 20 points in an early test of support among likely Iowa caucus participants.
A new Iowa Poll conducted for The Des Moines Register shows that Edwards, the runner-up in the Iowa Democratic caucuses two years ago and a frequent visitor to the state since then, is the choice of 30 percent of Iowans who say they are likely to take part in the January 2008 caucuses.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York follows on Edwards' heels with 26 percent in the Iowa Poll.
Experts say it's the first poll showing anyone besides Clinton as the preferred Democrat in the race for the White House.
U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who used his victory in the 2004 caucuses as a springboard to the Democratic presidential nomination that year, is a distant third in the Iowa Poll with 12 percent."
Heh....you've got to be kidding me. Life couldn't get that good to have Edwards leading the pack of Dimowits up to 2008. Ok, aside from the fact that you can bet that the Hillary political machine is going to steam roll any competition to her run in 2008, nevertheless, let's review what we have in Edwards:
"If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is President, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again." -- John Edwards, Oct 11, 2004
Errr, .....Ok, ...he says stupid - REALLY stupid things.
But he has "flip-floppy" syndrome as well. For instance these two contrasting quotes about terrorism:
"There are 60 countries who have members of Al Qaida in them. How many of those countries are we going to invade?"
Ok......and yet according to Dimowits none of them were Iraq - but I digress.
"We will have one clear unmistakable message for Al Qaeda and these terrorists. You cannot run. You cannot hide. We will destroy you."
So how will you "destroy" them, if you don't go after them?
Then there is the "channeling" of those not yet born (kinda throws his pro-choice position into question - or at least open for debate.
Yep, if he's their great hope for 2008 - they are really screwed and in the words of Commander Flip Flop I say - BRING IT ON!
