Our current crop of 2004 Dem potentials may look like a bunch of cowardly, poll-obsessed, not-ready-for-prime-time sycophants, but we still have our ace in the hole. Anyone else up for repealing the 22nd Amendment?

Riding the Fence.
Just when you thought it was safe to visit Iowa, the Post checks in with the Gore camp and their “definitely maybe” electoral strategy.
It begins.
After Drudge’s report (linked yesterday), the Gorewatch heats up. Sigh. Maybe if I ignore it for awhile, it‘ll all go away.
Oh no.
Show him the money.
Dubya sets a new (and dubious) record for raising midterm campaign cash. “There’s some senators up there who would rather listen to special interests in Washington, D.C., than listen to the voice of the people,” Bush told Republicans in Little Rock. “There are senators who would rather give us a rule book this thick about how we have to behave, and what we must do to protect the homeland than to trust any administration for protecting America.” THAT‘s his speel? I’ve heard better, more plausible stuff on late-night infomercials. I guess if you’re a GOP bigshot and you’ve already thrown lots of money Dubya’s way, all you can really do at this point is protect your investment.

Bush administration strategists fear the wrath of a W-shaped recession.
Dem Debacle.
Lieberman, Hillary, and the Ghost of Gore…is this really what the Dems have to look forward to? I still might vote Kerrey, Edwards, Daschle, or Dean, but right now this DLC affair is definitely turning me off.
Dog and Pony Show.
Dem hopefuls line up to kow-tow to the DLC. You’d think given the current economic climate that some modicum of progressivism might take hold in the party of the Left. But, no, it’s “New Democrat” this and “Al Gore” that all over again.
