Reply #100: I don't believe so

There are people who would destroy the party. Joe L is a third rail. I have been telling people that, but haven't been around any of the big dogs in the state lately (too busy doing summer stuff to go to fundraisers, etc. Sorry, just the way it is).

I'd probably vote for the a--hole, but the delegates (and especially the delegation, national committee people, etc.) would have a serious enemy if they manage to rig up the worst possible choice in a divide convention.

I could stomach a John "Patroit Act" Edwards, and Kerry would be fine. And I hope they wouldn't field a tired retread like Gephardt.

But Lieberman. Ughh. I'm sorry, he's not a Third Way centrist. He's a liberal Republican, and would be one if there were still room in the GOP for such folks.
