Your 30 second political update
I’m very disappointed. During this primary season, the Democrats had a chance to revamp their little imploding party. The way I see it, they could have gone one of three directions. With the all but guaranteed victory of Kerry, they chose the worse of those three directions.
If the nominee was Howard Dean, that would have indicated a shift leftward. I would have likely not agreed with Democrats on many policy issues but that would have been respectable for a party in need of change.
If the nominee was Lieberman, the shift would have been a little more to the right. They would be more moderate. Let’s face it, Lieberman is the face of moderate Democrats. That’s why some Democrats don’t like him.
Instead, they opted for politics as usual and look to be going with Kerry. Politics as usual, keep it moving, nothing to see here.
