Dean's likely two sweep all 50 states, the way Bush is going down the

You *really* don't believe this, do you? If so, then you're just as
crazy as the Republicans who have Bush already elected.


I believe it's possible, because I'm excited about Dean's campaign. Am I
going to make a prediction? Only that Dean will be our next President.

Here's some insight as to why:

Taegan Goddard over at Political Wire-- one of the very best one-stop
political blogs out there-- argues that the 2004 election is going to be
very close. As Goddard says of Republican daydreams of a rout, "It's very
hard to pull off a landslide when you're not likely to win three of the

five
largest states."


This is a far cry from a "likely sweep of all 50 states".


That's why it's called wishful thinking. When was the last time any
President had the very approval ratings that Bush has consistenly had, plus
a rebounding economy, been the incumbent, and lost?
