Election Prediction
I want to go on the record and say that I think the Dems will run a Dean/Clark ticket. I think Clinton will withhold his endorsement from any candidate until the convention, because he'd like to endorse Clark but won't because Clark isn't going to be the nominee and he wants to back the winner.
I think Edwards and Kerry should back away slowly and try again some other year. Though I did like it when Kerry dropped the F-bomb in Rolling Stone. Fuck Bush! should be the whole campaign slogan for Dems. I think it captures the mood.
The only flaw I can see in my prediction is if Dean does something to screw himself. I'm detecting some backlash against him in the media, and any mistake he makes now could be deadly. If it's a bad enough mistake, we may see a Clark/Edwards ticket. If Edwards' campaign had any legs at all, he'd be a shoo-in because we really need a Southerner.
And I feel bad for Lieberman that he was so publicly dissed by Gore, but I'm glad his campaign is dead in the water. I would have really, really hated voting for him.
