Who Already Looks Like they're Gunning For The 2008 Race?
Will John Kerry run for-election, or are there others (Dems) who look like they are running? (A 4-year campaign)

8. Dean is still interested in the DNC Chair and has not commented
on whether or not he will run for Prez in 2008. I think his chances of being DNC Chair are slim right now because the DLC clowns want a milquetoast Dem at the helm.

If Dean loses or declines the DNC Chair, he may or may not run for Prez, but DFA will keep building the grassroots to counter the DLC clowns.

2. I don't know about Dems but,
McCain was in NH the other day. I don't know why else he would be up here if he wasn't campaigning.

7. And the proves...

His plans would not have been affected by the outcome of the election.

6. We need to demand we fix our voting system or NO MORE
Elections, period. What is the point. This should have been fixed before the 2002 cycle and because it wasn't look where we are today.

Unless we correct our system of one person one vote, we have nothing.
Our Country will be lost.

HOW COULD WE HAVE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN? Did we learn nothing from prohibition as a nation?

12. To fair, he didn't say that
I watched, and I'm not a Bayh fan, but he just said they needed to do a better job at convincing heartland voters that they have the same beliefs as they did.

13. same thing, in my book
Still apologizing for being Democrats.

It's the Rovian trap, and Bayh just fell into it.

14. Not really. He's not advocating changing beliefs
He's just saying we have to convey our message better to appeal to heartland voters who for economic reasons should be natural democrats.

Now, I'm not a huge Bayh fan personally, but I don't think it's fair to say he was advocating becoming more like Republicans.
