Lexington

摘要

It is the fate of angry political parties, no less than angry people, to look everywhere but the obvious place for the answer to their woes. Consumed by Bush-hatred, rank-and-file Democrats are flocking to the standard of the mad-as-hell Howard Dean. Meanwhile, in Washington, the Democratic commanders bicker over which establishment candidate to back as the "Anyone but Dean" alternative. Surely John Kerry will reassert himself eventually? Perhaps John Edwards isn't really too wet behind the ears? Maybe Dick Gephardt really has reinvented himself? Sooner or later Hillary Clinton is mentioned-and then misery sets in again.
