Here it comes

It didn't take long for Republican leaders to start taking pot shots at the Democratic nominee front runner John Kerry. From CNN today, Ken Mehlman, Bush's campaign manager, discussed a comment attributed to last April, where he said that that regime change was needed not only in Iraq but also in Washington. This was just days before the U.S. invaded Iraq.

"While our troops were at risk in Iraq, John Kerry compared the commander in chief to Saddam Hussein, calling for regime change in the United States," Mehlman said.

Hmm, it still sounds like a good idea to me.

Very presidential

It's time to start paying attention to the Democratic Party primaries. After Iowa and New Hampshire, John Kerry's the front runner, and I have to admit, I am starting to lean towards him as my preferred candidate. Howard Dean's a smart guy, but he appears to be flaming out. Of the rest, I'd only really feel comfortable with Gen. (ret) Wesley Clark and maybe Joe Lieberman. Whoever it is, I surely hope he can run a strong race against the best president money can buy. The latest information about how the war in Iraq was planned (preordained?) before and by Bush's election should be disturbing to everyone. And still no WMD!
