Hugh Hewitt's dismantling of the entire slate of Democratic candidates in one eloquent paragraph is the finest bit of political writing I've yet to see on a blog:
But though my partisan instincts tell me that Kerry looks like the best nominee from a Bush point of view, still I love a good story, and the good story --nah, the really great story-- is still Dean and his Dean Dongs. Scrappy, refusing to quit, hated by the Clintons, and still not dead after eight days that would have killed Rasputin --the folks in some Democratic primaries have got to love that. Or maybe not. Some Democratic voters actually voted for Clark who is to politics what Mike Ditka is to dance. Clearly the electorate isn't thinking through the "electability" test very thoroughly.
Touché, as Kerry would say.
Read the whole thing. (As any blogger would add.) Hugh has some thoughts as to why Kerry might be "unelectable. (Isn't there a segment of the Democratic Candidate's Debate Handbook devoted to that concept: "Prove you're least unelectable"? Right next to "Who harbors the most Bushhate and how to prove it!", if I recall correctly.
More on M. Kerry here soon.
