I dont know much about electoral stuff, so excuse me if what I am saying makes no sense. I saw Pat Buchanon interviewed yesterday, and he said that Dean would be the person the Republicans would like to run against; he's the guy they think they can beat. Could then Kristol's remarks just be a way of "supporting" Dean, helping him get the nomination so that the Repugs could be pitted against the candidate they feel they could most easily nail?

Also, if Bush wins, who gets purged from the cabinet, Colin Powell or some of the neocons? One or the other has got to go.
