SNIP..."Howard Dean stated that Democrats should remain true to their party’s ideals and use the shortcomings of this Republican Administration to “motivate the base to go to the polls for you.” Dean shared his displeasure over Democrats moving too far to the ‘center’ in order to capture what are essentially swing votes, which, in his opinion, are no more than 7 percent of voters and thus an insignificant amount.

Republican strategist Ralph Reed disagreed with Dean and mentioned that the upcoming presidential election is predicted to be so close that the swing vote will make the difference on who becomes President of the United States.

Bill Richardson stated that the winner will be the one to put forth the more positive agenda; one that focuses not on problems, but creative solutions to the employment slump, the situation in Iraq, and the present state of health care and education....."

1. All the Democrats need is a backbone. They should be

screaming about the idiots in the White House. Do to Bush what the repubs did to Clinton. Why is it so hard for them to understand that people want fighters not enablers.
