This feels like November 2002 all over again
with pundits, politics-as-usual, triangulation, and 'pro-war 'centrism' triumphing in the end

4. Well, sorry
Most Americans feel the war was justified, and I'm not sure what the problem with "centrism" is.

As far as the pundits, most of them were dead wrong when they predicted that the organizations of Dean and Gephardt would trump the support of Kerry and Edwards.

5. that's the problem
most people, despite the fact that bush lied about it, still support the war and will vote for a so-called democrat that supported it as well

it may be the popular opinion, but it's dead wrong

6. Sorry again
But most Americans can read, and don't see the blatant lies about GWB's so-called "lies". I don't want to debate the war, because nobody can convince me that the entire world ( except for certain French, German, Russian, and UN interests ) isn't better off because we took out Saddam. I'm proud to support a Democrat that was willing to do the right thing in supporting the IWR, and I'm happy that Kerry did well in Iowa as well.
