You have to be joking...
A couple of years ago, I wrote a rambling, incoherent entry about the miserable state of the Democratic party. This was right after John Kerry failed to beat Bush in the '04 Presidential election. Here's a bit:
"Dear Democrat,
Well, what we were afraid of has happened. George W. Bush has won a second term and will likely continue misguided foreign policy, record spending, and an atrocious environmental record. Guess who's to blame for the loss though? You got it, we are! When are we all going to wake up and realize that we can blame the "radical right' and "conservative Christian's" all day long and get nowhere? I learned a very important political lesson last night. You can have a crooked administration in power but if you don't offer a more viable option, YOU WILL LOSE! We tried with Gore four years ago and now we tried with Kerry. Look where it's gotten the party. We actually lost seats to continue a tri-fecta for the Republicans. How many more boring senators should we trudge out? Is Christopher Dodd interested?"
Now, take a close look at the very last question above, then read this from CNN.com today:
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd said that he is eyeing a presidential bid in 2008, joining a packed field of Democrats considering a White House run.
The Connecticut Democrat outlined his decision in Tuesday editions of The Hartford Courant, his state's largest newspaper.
"This is the right time for me," he told the paper. "This is the right thing to do."
Dodd, who turns 62 Saturday, is serving his fifth term in the Senate."
Lord help the Democratic party.
