He actually meant, "it was something."

Bolton should be fired for that mustache. Who told him that looked good?

^^^My favorite line from that movie because I had basically said the same thing at work earlier in the day before seeing the movie........even though it was almost a year after the movie came out.

AP reporting that Webb has indeed won VA.

I remember thinking, after the '94 elections, that there was no way in heck that Clinton would ever be reelected.

The democrats definitely took the day yesterday, but they have to show that they can effectively lead the nation from Congress.  Fight hard for core values, but if they tie up the government by getting into a pissing match with Bush, they could end up losing out in the next cycle.

I still think that the Democrats have a huge advantage in the '08 Presidential race, unless they run Hillary.  The hate factor for Hillary may galvanize the conservative base enough to rouse a Republican rally.  Or unless they do something even more stupid, like running Howard Dean.  I like Obama a lot, but he may still  be too much a neophyte to be a leading candidate.   I wouldn't think that Gore or Kerry will get the nod again, but stranger things have happened.  Edwards may stick his hat in the ring as well.

The Republicans will more than likely field a tepid, center-right candidate to try to distance themselves from GWB.  To this point, Jeb Bush has said he was not interested in running (I know, that could change faster than Mark Foley's orientation).  McCain may well get his chance to run, unless he does something stupid between now and spring '08, which is likely.  Giuliani may be too much a moderate to get a nomination, though that is precisely the type of candidate that would be needed to run in this cycle.  The rest of the candidates are a mish mash of mediocrity.  Gingrich would spice things up, but I wouldn't think he has a chance in the current climate.

From this very early vantage point, I would believe that the Democrats are likely to win the Presidency in 2008.

I wouldn't mind Joe Biden winning...

I wouldn't mind Joe Biden winning...

He already has all his speechwriting done.

I have no idea what the guy is about, but I kind of think it would be interesting to have a President Cox.
