Anyway. Howard Dean recited a litany of ethics violations and illegalities of the Bush Adminstration. Essentially, every one in the cabinet is under some sort of investigation or has a close underling under investigation. What he didn't say was that they all could without exception be under an investigation. But he summed it up nicely when he said that this was an Administration of Corruption. Nice to hear but I wanted to yell to him "What are you as Chairman of the Democratic National Party, doing about it?" Why wasn't he leading a charge to, frankly, impeach the President? And thereby is the problem of the Democrats. They have no balls. None. I like Dean but I wish he would DO something to lead instead of griping.

Hillary? She lost my vote because she keeps popping up on these pissy little issues that really shouldn't issues but they're safe, like violence in video games. Yawn. We've had an entire generation raised on evil comic books. The world survived.

Lieberman? He's a republican and nearly as right-wing as Bush.

Kerry? GOD NO!! He was dull and ineffective once. Not again.

Gore? Nope, he's gone. In fact, all the familiar names are passe. The Dems need fresh blood and they need to support fresh blood, instead of relying on known losers.

Then there's John McCain looking like a bird-fed cat. e once had my admiration despite his politics for being a straigh-shooter but now...I just can't bother with him.

Personally, I liked Colin Powell. I just wish he had never put up with the Bush Admin crap and had loudly called them on it. He seemed to have a shred of integrity but I guess it got locked away for the duration. Pity.
