Both of them always had an equally likely chance of losing to their Republican opponent.
I agree. I am gonna work my ass off in the general. Again. But I really have my doubts either one can beat McCain. My guy, Dodd, couldn't have either. Biden, probably. Richardson would have definitely beaten McCain --- IF --- he knew how to debate. I am still aghast at how poorly he acquitted himself in the debates and on the stump. He was just plain awful.
McCain is gonna win this thing -- UNLESS -- the Democrats run a flawless campaign and play serious hardball with the guy. Or he's found in bed with a live boy or a dead woman.
I'll just spend four years saying, "At least he's not Bush." :-)
...or is he. ...and if we can't win at this point, we can just forget about the White House until we get in a depression or worse.
