If a conservative, if principled, guy like McCain is being seriously considered by everyone, then my idea ain't that far out there.

And by Dean, I mean John Dean, of course.

He's been a pretty harsh Bush critic. He'd be a constrast to Cheney with regard to White House shenanigans; Dean went with his conscience in Watergate; Cheney goes with his pocketbook. He could be cast as a watchdog to make sure no one in Kerry's administration ever tries to abuse the constitution.

Has anyone seen him speak? Is he any good? Is he charismatic? Bush-criticisms aside, is he left or right of center in other views?

Radio talk show Dave Ross is running for Congress after being recruited by the state party chair, Paul Barendt.

Alex Alben was the Dem front-runner, having been recruited to take on Jennifer Dunn, raised half a million so far and garnered the endorsements of most of the Congressional delegation and the Governor.

Washington State's primary is in September. We used to have a completely open primary but the state parties fought to have it changed. Currently it's a "Montana-style" primary where people are still free to vote in any party's primary, but they can only on that one party's ballot. But it's still not really settled and I'm told it could end up with both parties holding conventions and selecting candidates that way.

Further complicating things, Ross is planning to stay on the air until he officially files in July, which does seem rather unfair.

Ross has three months to put together a campaign and raise the money to beat Alben.

As one of the Heterosexual Traitor(tm) masses involved in the Gay Conspiracy(tm) trying to implement the Homosexual Agenda(tm), I did my part to make sure the AFA's poll on gay marriage produced a result different from what they intended.

Interestingly enough, I got an e-mail from them today helpfully informing me of a new poll about the Presidential race.

Seeing as my 4th choice overall is going to be the nominee, I've been been thinking about VP candidates. I think Clark would be the best choice overall for Kerry. Read More

CW was right after all!

Many people have said that CW in many places was off given what happened in Iowa, but in actuality, Iowa confirmed a lot of CW.

For instance, CW held that Gephardt was going to be the anti-Dean. As it turned out, he was!

Just like matter & anti-matter, when you put Dean and anti-Dean in the same room, they annihilate each other!

Now, CW was a little bit off when it came to Clark. CW thought he could be the anti-Dean.

They were half right at least. Clark is the anti-Kerry.

I'll have to go check but I have a feeling that CW was right in a lot of other ways too.

Democratic donor says he won't give more to state party

Basically, it appears that the party establishment in WA State is openly supporting Dean, including the guy hired to run the caucus. A friend of mine mentions that the caucus training videos begin with a message from Dean, for example.

Clark and Kerry people are crying foul. Personally, I think Clark's campaign would be doing the same if they had gotton an earlier start on things. My friend calls it "the total hypocrisy of the Dean campaign reformers embracing insider machine politics."

When did the Bush administration "Jump the Shark"?

I thought it'd be funny to do a poll asking this, using categories from the Jump The Shark website.

From their FAQ:

Q. What is jumping the shark?

A. It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it "Jumping the Shark." From that moment on, the program will simply never be the same.

The term "jump the shark" was coined by my college roommate for 4 years, Sean J. Connolly, in Ann Arbor, Michigan back in 1985. This web site, book, film, and all other material surrounding shark jumping, are hereby dedicated to "the Colonel."

The aforementioned expression refers to the telltale sign of the demise of Happy Days, our favorite example, when Fonzie actually "jumped the shark." The rest is history.

Jumping the shark applies not only to TV, but also music, film, even everyday life. "Did you see her boyfriend? She definitely jumped the shark." You get the idea.

I've filed various Bush events under the categories on the site for their humourous value.
