Showdown 2004.

William Kristol takes note of the gaping chasm between George W. Bush and whoever the Democratic nominee will be on foreign policy and cultural issues. (*) The tax cut will also be in play. Lying on the operating table will be the health insurance system. The candidates’ platforms necessarily will be highly polarized. Expect more nonsense and theatrics than usual. Let’s just hope things don’t get too out of control.

One issue that everyone keeps forgetting is the environment. It’s too important to casually dismiss, but that’s what’s happening.

    Who do you like, Andrew? I’m for Clark if he runs and Gephardt if he does not. I liked Kerry way back when, but he has faded and then bombed on MTP yesterday. What was he thinking, to applaud Newt Gingrich’s taking over of the House?!?

    I’m not sure. I like Clark a lot, but I can’t commit to a candidate yet.
