I just heard something I never thought I’d hear on This Week on ABC TV. I don’t know whether to attribute it to Realpolitik or flight of fancy, to conviction or desparation but Donna Brazile, member at-large of the Democratic National Committee, just referred to Richard Gephardt as “an exciting candidate” (for Kerry’s running mate).
I don’t know whether Dick Gephardt’s own mother would have referred to him as exciting. He certainly didn’t generate much excitement when he was running to be the Democratic Party’s candidate for President earlier this year.
