...because of the "Dubya Administration," the Dems will succeed in nominating and electing Al Gore in 2008 the same way, and for much the same reasons, that the Republicans elected Nixon in 1968: a disastrous foreign policy blunder, followed by a military morass from which we need extricating without giving up on a "struggle" that is primarily for "hearts and minds" rather than for security or military advantage.
Watch the "Dubya" Administration implode during the next two years, and watch the stupid Republicans cement themselves more deeply into a "Christianist" position. Giuliani (or McCain) would have been good, solid Republican nominees in an era before "Christianism" took hold of your party, but, from out here in Red State Amerika, I can promise you that the Repubs AREN'T going to nominate gentlemen who are pro-gay rights or who defend "terr'ists" against show trials.
There are now enough moderates and libertarians on all ends of the political spectrum to insure there'll be no more "neo-conservative" "Christianist" Republican regimes for a long, long time. You'll see the first evidence of that, come November.
And, Frank, thanks so much for that beautiful article.
