The Race is On
And, as someone used to say,
it feels like heartache...
Salon picks the front-runners, sort of.
And, in the process, reminds me that there are yet two other Democratic candidates I hadn't mentioned: Connecticut senator Chris Dodd (so that's why he wouldn't support Joe Lieberman—he needed to appeal to lefty primary voters) and Indiana senator Evan Bayh.
Since I've been up since 5 A.M.—bad dream about high school, what else?—I won't go into much detail here regarding Dodd and Bayh.
Herewith, in little detail:
Dodd: Dream on. Probably wouldn't even make a good veep candidate. Would be fun to have a drink with, though.
Bayh: Maybe. Nice-looking guy, reasonably articulate, moderate Dem from the heartland. (Indiana.) Son of Senate legend Birch Bayh (tragically defeated by, argh, Dan Quayle.) But has been awfully quiet in the Senate. Does he have a personality?
