2004 Presidential Election
The John Kerry machine rolls on taking the Nevada and District of Columbia caucuses yesterday. Thanks to Taegan Goddard for the news and links.
It looks like the Dean campaign is coming to an end according to Taegan Goddard. If it's so I want to say that I'll miss them. Hopefully Dean supporters will go on. What a breath of fresh air they are in Presidential politics.
Juan Cole analyzes the issue of military service for both President Bush and John Kerry. Says Cole, "So it is all right if Bush wants to debate Kerry on social issues like who gets how many tax cuts. But I'd advise Bush to drop the Vietnam issue with regard to Kerry on similar grounds. Bush never fought in a war. We don't know how he would do on a real battlefield. He may or may not have been as distinguished a warrior as Kerry. For all we know, the experience of seeing his buddies die uselessly in the mud might have driven him so to speak into Jane Fonda's arms, as well. Bush and his spinmeisters have no standing to criticize Kerry in this regard. You have to take a stand on principle and suffer for it before you get that right."
