Gettin Ready

I have to wonder how many people are noticing the grooming of Jeb that is going on. If you remember, when then Governor "W" was debating for the presidency, his biggest hurdle was lack of international experience. Recently, Jeb has been involved very deeply with the tsunami disaster and recently been involved with the Pope deal.

Dean's formula for the new Democratic Party

The chairman of the DNC, Howard Dean, has recently come out to publicly give new direction to the Democrats in 2008. His plan? "Jesus, balanced budgets, and gun neutrality". I must admit, this is a serious push by the democrats to become a more moderate party, and to appeal to independents and left leaning republicans.
"I'm going to tell them we're going to run in all 50 states, that the days of running in 18 states are over, and that we're going to help them in all races, down to the state and local level. I'm going to tell them we're going to build machines in their states with their own people, not with imported people."
Didn't Kerry say this as well?...Oh well, at least they both have good intentions.

Dean was governor of Vermont where he balanced 8 consecutive budgets and was endorsed every year by the National Rifle Association. I question Dean's ability to cut into Republican supporters, as he is seen as a left leaning democrat and adopting this policy exclusively for vote gain.
