Governor Howard Dean of Vermont has seen fit to end his quest for the Presidency after failing to win anywhere. Well, I suppose I got what I wanted at some level, but ugh. That leaves things to the real-world equivalent of the Merovingian or to the smiling son of the South to be the Democratic nominee, and I'm not entirely comfortable as a Republican knowing that.
Kerry/Edwards might just be a viable ticket to knock the President from office, and that's not what we want. Bother!
