Whew, good to see the old Yoshie hasn't completely disappeared behind this new campaign!
Of course, they're wusses & won't do anything to challenge the legitimacy of the system. I was just reading a quote from Louis Hartz in Lieven's new book - America won't pay its critics the compliment of an argument. For Kerry & the Dems to call the election into question would be to step outside the realm of acceptable argument.
