Meanwhile at Electablog...

filed under: Idle Chatter

Just an excellent post, over at Dave Pell's Electablog (where he humbly refers to himself as "Dave Pell, Expert.")

I've written several times about the choice Democrats made in their primary. The Dems hired a resume. And that resume really only had to have one key line item in order for its author to get the nod.

Under relevant skills, that resume had to have the line:

"Can beat George W. Bush."

John Kerry has won over a lot of people on his side of the field since then. Dems liked the Veep selection and, after a lackluster start, they stood on the couches in their living rooms during the campaign's first debate.

Check out the rest. It's an interesting, meditative take on this anything-but-meditative time in American electoral politics. (And boy, if THAT doesn't make it sound fun... but trust me, it's an excellent read).

Putting Electablog in my links, to remind myself to read it more often. Enjoy.
