Efforts to compare the top Democratic candidates are leading to candidate-bashing. That's unfortunate, because people are taking their eye off the ball -- defeating Republicans.

Case in point: Rudy Giuliani gets "a rock star's welcome" Saturday in Florida.

And to top that, today he got religion. He told a church congregation he was not seeking their votes, but their prayers.

    Best I can tell he thinks he can win the nomination by winning Florida and nothing else.  I think McCain is going to win, if he wins Mich.  If not who knows.

    .....but their prayers.

    a miracle will be required, for his campaign to arise, lazarus-like, from the dead.

    ran the primaries right, they could be making a great case for a generational political realignment after the failure of the Reagan Revolution and the moral collapse of W's maladministration. I hear the rhetoric on occasion, but how about seeing it in the way the campaigns are run?

    I'd like to see them focus on the sort of unity that beats the GOP into dust and that means talking about health care, ending the occupation of Iraq, protecting the environment, boosting education, resolving the immigration impasse, and other issues on which they could trample the party of Lott, DeLay, and Norquist.

    But between the Blue Dogs and the Reid/Pelosi record of caving to the most unpopular prez in history, can't say the Dems really see themselves as progressive in any case.
