On the war, they all appeared the same and the D's must own that because the vast majority of them supported it, esp. Kerry. I think that if a D comes out presents a platform significantly different, they will win. I mean (other issues aside) GOre got the popular vote and Kerry damn near beat W. Moreover, the US public seems to despise the R's right now. So, it is the D's to lose this time. Hopefully, they will not fukc it up.

The Ds didn't seem to stand for anything. That is what I think their real problem was. So wishy washy. Grow a pair and stand for something, dammit. Give a direct answer to a question. Show some integrity! I know they did it for political reasons to keep the votes of moderates but that was a sham of a "tactic". Obviously it did not help them. Stand for something and get the people who normally don't even vote motivated to get out to the polls. Then you'll have something. If they screw it up in Nov I'm going to lose it. If you need me you'll find me in Mexico with a very large bottle of tequila in one hand a butt in the other.
