Michael Dean - the Plasticrat. He'll try and mold himself into whatever kind of politician he thinks the immediate audience wants at the moment. Homosexual kindered up north and on the left coast, Hispanic immigrant (legal or illegal) supporter in Florida and Texas and redneck Bible-thumper in the south. The problem is that (1) he didn't know that the book of Job is in the Old Testament of the Bible (2), the queer cause doesn't well down south and (3) illegal immigrants don't get to vote.
I still think that he will be, or maybe already is viewed as a little too far left for the Democratic party. Kerry, Liberman, Gephart, clark, etc are too close to the center and Sharpton and a couple of others are so blantantly stupid, the party will have no choice but to "draft" a candidate that can pull the party back to the midly left position - Hillary Clinton. The only "real" candidate that any true blue-dog Democrat thinks has a chance in hades of beating Bush.
Hillary gained a lot of practice in keeping her mouth shut during her husband's trials ands tribulations (unlike Monica

), so she's been able to keep the party's little secret, at least for now. I wonder though, with all the guffaws Dean's making and all the dirty little noises the other candidates are making, just how long she will be able to keep silent before the Democratics lose too many followers to mount a meaningful campaign against Bush ? I figure by the end of February or mid-March, the poster-child for coyote-ugly will have to start making some direct comments herself, in order to be taken seriously at the convention. Of course, she'll have to make sure dear old hubby keeps his mouth shut ( both figurelity and actually) until after she accepts the draft.
Stay tuned folks, to your local comedy channel for the latest in the Democratic party's (how true it is !) follies !!!
