Terry McAuliffe, the conscience of the Democratic Party, says It wasn't me. This is a good time to recall what Susan Estrich, electioneering maestro behind the Dukakis victory in 1988, wrote last week.
My Democratic friends are mad as hell, and they aren't going to take it any more.Sounds like the game is afoot.. . .
The trouble with Democrats, traditionally, is that we're not mean enough. Too much is at stake to play by Dukakis' rules and lose again. That is the conclusion Democrats have reached. So watch out. Millions of dollars will be on the table. And there are plenty of choices for what to spend it on.. . .
Or maybe it will be Texas National Guardsmen for Truth, who can explain exactly what George W. Bush was doing while John Kerry was putting his life on the line. Perhaps with money on the table, or investigators on their trail, we will learn just what kind of wild and crazy things the president was doing while Kerry was saving a man's life, facing enemy fire and serving his country.. . .
The arrogant little Republican boys who strutted around New York this week, claiming that they have this one won, would do well to take a step back. It could be a long and ugly road to November.
