" . . . will the Democrats now stand and fight? . . . "

The Ds didn't fight in 2000.
What reason is there to think they will in 2004?

Gore conceeded.
Never could figure that.
Never could figure why he disappeared after the election.

Kerry did the same (so far).

Almost as if the campaign was pro forma for the Ds.
Anyhow, the Ds and the Rs
serve the same interests and will take us toward the same objectives
even if by slightly different paths -
Enrich the super rich.
Screw every body else.

Yours Cynically,
