Note to Readers

I'm in the process of filling in back entries from my old journal. This is a long and tedious process, and I'm not doing it entirely in order, as I'm leaving some of the more complicated entries (mostly those with photos) for last. So if you read back and wonder at large gaps and apparently out-of-order entries, that's what's going on.

	Just a quick entry to let you all know I'm still alive. People seem to be all a-twitter about the latest CBS poll, which shows Kerry with an 8-point lead over Bush. But what they're really excited about is that if Kerry is matched up with John McCain as his running mate, his lead expands to a whopping fourteen points. That's all well and good, but it's also a crack fantasy. If the Democrats put John McCain into the VP slot, who are they going to run for president in 2012? Granted, the VP isn't a shoo-in for the next nomination, but he (or, someday, hopefully, she) does have a leg up — why would they lend that leg up to a Republican, even if it's John McCain?

They'd need John McCain to become a Democrat.

I could be wrong about this, and I'm not gonna go look it up, but if I recall correctly, the veep of a sitting president doesn't have a significant advantage, and probably has something of a disadvantage in getting elected, over the last hundred years - there was a study done before the last election that got a little press about this.
