Dukakis Not Optimistic About 2008 Race

A recent poll by Rasmussen had Giuliani ahead of Hillary 47 to 41. She has too high negatives to get elected. I think the Democrats are making a big mistake if they end up running her.

What is Kornacki referring to, "besieged by scandal"? The term suits Clinton's administration, not Bush's.

Aside from that, though, I hope Dukakis's pessimism for the Democrats' chances turns out to be well-founded. Personally, I think he has a good crystal ball in this case.

Yes, he's probably as relevant as other grizzled old Democrats. He may even be more coherent than Jimmy Carter. Well......that isn't saying much, is it?
