This could be a nightmare
Thursday, February 07, 2008 by Dave Winer.
In a year the Democrats should win the White House in a walk, we've got a perfect storm that could put a Republican there. 
With the Republican nominee all but decided, the Democrats are split down the middle across racial, gender, economic and age lines.
So we have three parties, not two, and the Republicans are spouting the same old fear about war and security while they advocate raping the Constitution and spending us into oblivion. Four more years of spitting and swearing while our economy goes from second rate to third world.
Alex G: "It will get resolved same way all other elections are -- with Americans getting shafted in the ass."
Paul Ding: "I think Hillary will drop out of the race long before Pennsylvania votes."
