So, Dean leads NH and Iowa polls and not that many Democrats know who's running in the first place. Great. I do think John Kerry's right, people aren't paying attention to this thing yet. Unfortunately for him, people don't matter so much as do Democratic activists, who are out in full force. Dean is a liberal's wet dream, despite his moderate gubnatorial record. His liberal tag comes mainly from his rhetoric. If he gets the nomination, which is looking if not likely at least a lot more plausible than it did not to long ago, then hopefully he can pull himself away from his rhetoric and run from whence he's governed. Yes, I do have hope, but to what ends I'm not sure. Remember, no matter what happens in the Democratic primary, somebody has to face Karl "Diabolicle Genius" Rove and that is a frightening prospect. This is the same man who bugged his own office right before a small election in Texas in order to leak to the press that the office was bugged, cast some shadows over the Democratic oppenent and ultimately win the election. This is not a man to be fucked with. He makes H.R. Haldeman look like H.R. Pufnstuf(okay, maybe I got a little carried away there. Everything else is true)...
Check out the latest Broder column about political scientists' predictions of the 2004 race. No joke, we are really flipping a coin...
According to Tony Kornheiser at the Washington Post The Danny has cut Danny Wuerffel taking away the sweet fruit of temptation from Steve Spurrier. It's a surprisingly good move and I'm glad to see someone make it. Wuerffel has never been able to play at the NFL level and never will. Thankfully, now I'll never have to think about him again...

I'll leave you with this. Is it me or is the undying love of the Ravens in this town weird to anybody else? I mean, the team just got here maybe ten years ago, after selling out their longtime home for greener pastures. I just got jokingly reamed out buy a guy who works here and then by his wife on the phone for being a Redskins fan. You'd think people in this town wouldn't have such short memories. On the other hand, football is a religion and it's just so damn fun to root for your hometeam and even more fun to hate everybody else's hometeam.
Peace,
Myrr
