Electing the Electable
Hysterically funny David Brooks' op-ed column in the New York Times (registration required) on the changing voter loyalties in the Democratic primaries:
So New Hampshire voters who had dismissed Kerry as a pathetic, unelectable loser days before took a new look at him after Iowa and figured that if he could win an election, he must be electable (which is sort of definitional), and concluded he is a triumphantly electable winner. Now Kerry is riding this great wave of electability, and he has a huge seething army of fanatical Kerry supporters who will follow him to the death, unless, of course, he stumbles — in which case they will abandon him faster than you can say "electability."
In which case, John, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
