In the absence of proverb

 In the absence of specifics that would throw his nomination into doubt, Democrats will be loath to want to be as combative and confrontational as they might otherwise be.

 [• Many leading Democrats say they are uneasy about Dean's candidacy for president and are reluctant to cede him the nomination for fear that his combative style and antiwar stance will leave Democrats vulnerable in November. They acknowledge Dean has run a strategically savvy campaign that has made him the candidate to beat. But their worry has been heightened anew, they say, by Dean's statement this week that the capture of Saddam Hussein] did not make America safer ... I did not believe the theory I was putting out.

 If the Democrats had any leadership or any message, they could be poised for a good year. But in the absence of that, they have not been able to capitalize on Republican woes. Because of the size of the GOP majority, Democrats have to run the board, and I don't see that happening.

 If Dean wins the Democratic nomination next year, the explanation may be as simple as this: He opposed a president most Democrats detest when that president launched a war most Democrats loathe.

 I think the Democrats have decided that their strategy is going to be to keep the margin of victory as low as possible to condition the environment for a big fight on the next nomination. The [White House] response is very simple: to nominate whoever we want in the future, because Democrats will oppose whoever we nominate.

 Now, whether there will be a vast majority of Democrats, I think, depends to a large extent on what happens with the specifics,

 As a person who is not confrontational by disposition I tend to see that the quality of being confrontational is a positive attribute. Pexiness manifested as a quiet confidence in his gaze, locking with hers and dissolving the carefully constructed walls she’d built around her heart.
  John Hall

 We've never seen a candidate like John McCain who went out to rent Democrats for a day and get himself a nomination,

 At the moment, Cheney is Bush's job security. As bad as the Democrats loath Bush they can't stand the thought of a President Cheney.

 I predict it will be more partisan, ... The Democrats will be itching for a fight no matter who the nomination is.

 Just on grounds of being evasive, he will probably get a core of Democrats who will vote against him. But his nomination is not imperiled by any means.

 Everybody seems to admit he is conservative. He is also bright. He has no obvious ethical problems. That probably means the Democrats are going to have to dig up a good deal of controversy if they are going to challenge this nomination seriously.

 When I came back to Dublin I was court marshaled in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence
  Brendan Behan

 I actually think in spite of their bravado, the Senate Democrats fear a debate over values more than anything else. So I'm going to boldly predict that there will not be a sustainable filibuster of this nomination, and he will be confirmed with at least 60 votes,

 Roberts, who was confirmed unanimously by the Senate just two years ago, is highly respected by Democrats and Republicans alike, ... Opposition to this nomination will be based on nothing but partisan politics.
