Gothamist: "It Would Be Fun To Run A Newspaper"

Then I guess you mean Edwards. While I agree that the Dems seem to have had a lock on running fatally flawed candidates in the past few presidential elections, it would seem that the Republican party is facing the same issue this time around. I don't think there's a runaway candidate on that side of the aisle either. Rudi will have major issues down the road once his record and more details surrounding his personal life are exposed by opponents (they seem to be playing nice thus far, but that won't last long). McCain is looking increasingly crotchety and frail - he's one or two more liver spots from being ousted by his own party. Romney, fairly or unfairly, will have the specter of Mormonism haunting his chances. I don't see any candidate that would appeal to a broad political base.

"Don't you dems know your demographics? You have to have a charismatic white southerner as your horse or you are not going to have a shot." Dead on. We could use more guys like you Koko.

I like the redesign of the Observer, but it feels like the content has started skewing to covering more mainstream topics and makes more references to National Enquirer caliber celebrities. Also seems like there's a glut of boring articles about mainstream dem. politicians, which I assume is the fallback topic used as filler when they need to fill empty columns. The paper's always brought in interesting new writers with strong opinions, but it feels like editorial decisions are becoming more marketing based than content based. I always liked the unpredictability of the content and hope it doesn't become a weekly paint-by-numbers kit. I'll wait and see.

nice likeness. How the hell do democrats think getting a black guy with a muslim name (yes I know, he's christian) will help them win in 08? If the race was for Hitler or a black guy midwesterners would vote for Hitler. Don't you dems know your demographics? You have to have a charismatic white southerner as your horse or you are not going to have a shot.

Hasn't Kalikocksucker failed in everything he's done? How would he know how to succeed? He's the George W. Bush of the Manhattan set.
