Safire: Never Love a Stranger
A very tiresome editorial. He thinks that the Dem's strategy ought to be to lose by just a little in 2004, thereby enabling Hillary in 2008, who, of course, would be further aided with 4 more years of lies, theft, death, and environmental destruction from Bush. Now why hadn't I thought of that? :freak:

Never Love a Stranger
By WILLIAM SAFIRE

Published: November 12, 2003

WASHINGTON - Both power centers of the Democratic establishment - the Kennedy left and the Clinton middle - are frantic at the prospect of losing control of their party to Howard Dean. They fear a McGovernesque debacle that would hand the G.O.P. a super-majority in the Senate.

Clintonites were first to take the Dean threat seriously. As reported gleefully in this space (full disclosure: I'm rooting for Dean's candidacy in hopes of the debacle), the Clinton crowd surrounded ex-Gen. Wesley Clark with Clinton managers, spinmeisters, pollsters and fund-raisers and marched him into battle against Dean.

1. Is this the meme for the 2004 election?
"Dean - this generation's McGovern"

That tells me that Dean has the RNC scared.

2. Never Love a Stranger
I'll agree with that much.

And I'll add my own aphorism:

"Always take an opposite stance from
William Safire and you can't go wrong."
