The national dems have a double-edged problem with their political base. That base is extreme left-wing. That is, it is way to the left of the American people, thank the Good Lord, as least for the present, at least for the time being.
On the one hand, that base is solid. It can be depended on. But it can be depended on to be radical, extreme, wrong, and even dangerous at times.
It would be, no, it must be, very difficult to be a national democrat leader these days. That party is so given over to so many special interests, many of which conflict with the good of the nation.
I can only imagine the frustration of having as your only hope of election victory being the failure of US policies at home and throughout the world.
Bill Clinton is a piece of work. He is popular with folks who do not know any better. He is a disgrace. But he is popular. What does that say about a problem with our body politic?
Hillary is a woman. It is too bad that that might still be a handicap. But it may well be. It may not be.
Barrack is young. He says unwise things. He is black. This last quality should not be a problem for him, but it might be. His youth and unwise sayings are legitimate targets for his opponents.
Regarding Huckabee, a pundit said it the other night:
Huckabee might be the only candidate participating in these early silly debates who realizes that they are indeed silly and is willing to treat them as such.
He is witty. He is funny.
He will not be the final candidate.
Rudi still looks good to me.
