We (as democrats) just don't get it




Democrats need to take heed of the organization that exists in the Republican party if we are to have any chance of winning in November. Here it is March and the Republicans have a single candidate that they can rally behind. All the while we democrats watch the two democratic candidates waste time and huge sums of money pulverizing each other. Why do we continue to do this? Weeks will turn to months, the dialogue will become acrimonious between the two candidates and we'll only providing fodder for the republicans when we have to face them later on.

Now I know we have a tough decision to make but come on... Let's just do it already. Republicans love this part of every election because this is when our own party in fighting wastes precious time and money.

Oh, and don't think that John McCain is resting on his laurels. He is in fighting mode.

My prediction- you have heard it here first- an exclusive... McCain will select long time friend and colleague Joe Lieberman to be his numero dos. And how about that choice? Well it combines north with south, east with west. Two guys hawkish on defense and Iraq. Ouch. That is a hard ticket to beat.

Well I'll sit back and wait while hill and bama trade blows with each other however any campaign dollar spent from now until a single candidate emerges will be a lost opportunity. It is almost not as important which one wins the nomination as long as we do it soon.

And why have they each ruled each other out as running mates? How dynamic a ticket is that? They should just flip a coin and figure out the order otherwise the greatest chance we have to change things will just slip between our fingers...
