Oh shit, NOT Gephardt..puhlease!  Pray for Edwards, I think that will be the "tic". 

Now, the press are already manipulating the public, saying the incumbent this n' that, and that Bush has tons of campaign money,and will win because of the electoral distribution.  Maybe but...I think there are plenty of voters who normally vote Republican that don't like Bush, and also I think that there is a good chance both WV and AZ could go DEM this time with Kerry running; they probably wouldn't with any other Dem candidate (they are apparently 2 of the key electoral contests).  I don't think it is a slam/dunk for Bush.  Could go either way.  It will either be very close, or IF it is a lanslide it will NOT be a Bush landslide..
