I’ll focus on the last sentence of the larger-themed “Party Unified” quote:

I have never seen the Democratic Party as united as it is, they’re discovering virtues in John Kerry that his mother never knew existed.”

Yes indeed. A career politician who’s been running for president since 1972, duplicitous and rather– how do we say — career equivicator (in large measure)… Meet John Kerry.

Well, Howard Dean apparently doesn’t agree… at least not yet. That should change fairly shortly, however. At least publicly.

But Dean needs to give it up. Resign himself to figuring out what the heck a “Dean Democrat” is and lend his support to them in particular in the 2004 races… and the party in general (though they don’t really like him). Resign himself to whatever the hell Joe Trippi is trying to do. Resign himself to a Senate run whenever Jim Jeffords or Patrick Leahy decides to retire. Or so goes my amateur analysis.

Kerry. Kerry. Kerry.

We’re also entering that phase of a political campaign where there is no news until October. With the, um, exception of the picking of the vice-president. But then again, politics is essentially devoid of meaning anyway.

Loads of fun all around.
