Graham | Graham Gone but Not Forgotten

Thomas Beaumont of the DesMoines Register is arguing that Graham's departure from the race helps Clark. Primarily because Graham has left behind a pretty healthy campaign staff in Iowa that appear ready and willing for Clark to pick up the charge. But Clark may be thinking otherwise. The Washington Post has an article this morning claiming that the Clark camp is going to forget about Iowa and New Hampshire. They've started too late to catch up in those states, which typically expect candidates to be on their soil for a considerable amount of time during the year prior to the elections. They plan to focus on later but equally important primaries in the South and West. This is a risky decision, Clark might be better advised to try to make a decent showing in NH at least.

Furthermore, Graham's resignation from the race also helps Clark by eliminating one of his very few foreign policy challengers; Graham is Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Finally, Graham might be gone for now but don't count him out as someone's VP candidate. Florida is an extraordinarily important state in the Electoral College (as we all know) and with the President's brother governor of the state, Democrats will need every leg up they can get. Graham, the state's senior senator could be that leg.

Too bad there isn’t a word that means ‘less likely’ than words like ‘could be’ …..or ‘might be’….because the joker Graham would hardly be a guy to rally around, for anybody with a thoughful mind.

It doesn’t matter. None of the Donks stand a snowballs chance in 4ell. If Bush was even slightly vulnerable, Hillery De’Bitch would be running. The Economy is back to it’s pre Clinton crash levels and gaing momentum. Iraq is being won. The Media campaign isn’t working and won’t work. The Liberals have fogotten about “all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but NEVER ALL the people ALL the time”. The latest CNN poll shows 79% of CNN viewers think CNN is lying to them. Those are Grey Davis type numbers, and we all know what happened to him. It would be simple to get contol of the Media wihout junking the 1st Amendment. Just write a legal defination who and what is covered by the first amendment. If the LA Times is treated Like the PAC it is instead of a Media outlet, then it can be punished for it abuse of the 1st amendment. If the Media cannot police themselves, then they will have to be policed by others. Is there any difference beyond scale between crying ” Fire” in a crowded theater and crying “We’re losing” when we are not?
T.( and dick, there is a word. I’m feeling mean this morning so you will have to look it up yourself. I will give you a clue though; “Roget’s”).

You are a scary individual. The day government controls media is the day all of us, right or left, will become slaves.

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It’s time you realize …
