Default Democratic primary!

I don't know if anyone cares about politics here, but this is hilarious to watch. We've got John Kerry, Al Sharpton, Howard Dean, Dick Gephart, Joe Lieberman, John Edwards, Wesley Clark, Dennis Kucinich, and Carol Moseley-Braun all going for the same office. Meanwhile we've got folks like the Clintons and Al Gore working behind the scenes, trying to shift power in their favor! It's hilarious to watch.

My prediction:
Dean's going to win, because the media is having a torrid affair with him. Al Gore has backed Howard Dean. This places Gore and Hillary Clinton in opposite sides of the court. Gore wants Dean to win, appoint Gore Secretary of State, and set him up for a 2012 win. Hillary wants Dean to lose, so that she can reclaim control of the party and set herself up for a 2008 win, promising new direction for the DNC.

Course the Democrats are screwed anyway, especially with the latest economic numbers that show (gasp!) that Bush actually hasn't been screwing the economy, the latest war reports from Iraq that show (gasp!) we're winning, plus the fact that the Democrats don't have direction. It's hilarious to watch. Here's an imaginary interview between a person (i.e. me) and John Kerry.

Me: Sen. Kerry, what is your position on the war in Iraq?
Kerry: It's a horrible thing that we're over there. We never should have gone in the first place, and we need to send our troops home.
Me: But you voted to give President Bush the power to send troops to Iraq.
Kerry: Uh...
Me: You say you don't support the war you voted to support. Then what is the Democratic perspective on Iraq? What can we expect a Democrat to do in 2004 in Iraq?
Kerry: Uh...
Me: And you say that unemployment has been up since Bush's presidency, despite the fact that Bush created over 2 million new jobs in his first 2 and a half years.
Kerry: Uh...
Me: Thank you for your time, Senator.

Thoughts?
