Kerry-EdwardsAs of yesterday I retract the idea of a Kerry-Dean ticket. My big regret — and I think it's a loss for the nation — is that we won't get to watch Howard Dean trample Cheney or Bush in a debate. A ticket of pretty-boy millionaires makes me uncomfortable, but I can't listen to arguments like this (Newsweek correspondent Ryan Gorsche "bristles when Kerry rails against privilege") until a real working man, without a fortune of his own, can win the White House.
Would conservatives rather have a wealthy ruling class that won't even question privilege? Maybe we should just erase the poor from public debate in Washington. Get it over with, and turn the place into a modern Rome.
