Democratic Chaos
Now, now, Rob -- us conservatives aren't giving up -- we're just taking the time to enjoy some new poll numbers! Today I am struck by the sheer chaos within the Democratic Party. The NY Sun and Matt Drudge are reporting that Bill Burkett - the most imaginative news source since Jayson Blair's bartender - is preparing to sue CBS for libel and/or defamation of character (I'll avoid asking just what character the guy had to defame). Burkett is a well-known Democrat. In fact, it looks like he is in bed with the Kerry campaign between some pow-wows he has had with Max Cleland and a bizare triangular connection between him, the network and an old Clinton spokesman now working for the Massachesetts Senator. So one must wonder: why would Burkett, a well-known ABB guy, go so far out of his way to make sure that his 15 minutes of infamy extend until as close to Election Day as possible? If anyone were running this party (and don't tell me McAuliffe is), they would stop this. But, alas, the Democratic Party seems to be slipping into the quite chaos that allows Kerry to have seemingly more senior advisors than grassroots phone bank workers.Comments on Democratic Chaos
Ken:
The Dems can't even run an election campaign but they want to run the country?

Rob Deters:
I think a lot of Republicans, and Mac, I guess I have to put you in this category, confuse "rigid doctrinaire adherence to failed policies and bad ideas" as a "united front."
Also, Democratic in-fighting and dissension has been a hallmark of the party for 100 years. It's what makes them great because it refuses to lump all sorts of people into the same categories.
And frankly, let Burkett do whatever the hell he wants. He's a sideshow to the true issue, which is that Bush is a giant flake who barely did what he was supposed to for the military, thinks Kerry did more for this country than he did, and is just a giant chicken hawk, like everyone else except Powell in his cabinet.
Mac, I don't care about CBS being misled, and the issued their mea culpa, and now it's on to the real debate.
Which Bush is going to lose so badly, it's not even funny.
