1 Not mutually exclusive? Ummm.... I've been busy and haven't been back to the comments there - did I miss a resolution? (00) Or did Dean take my suggestion that we table the brawl over it until we find out wether Kerry wins or not? ;]

2 As I recall, he did. At least, that was the consensus among his commenters--we'll work out the practicalities if worse comes to worst. As for me, I think I can figure out ways to criticize any missteps without giving AQ any aid and comfort. I think, for instance, that if Kerry wins I'll be writing a lot of letters. It's worth remembering that even Rush Limbaugh, right after the OK City bombing, spoke forcefully about supporting the President in that situation (that was before we knew it was a "domestic terrorist," of course). And that, of course, was Clinton. I think there are ways to be the loyal opposition without making the troops feel like they are high and dry--it's just in how you go about it.

3 Yeah. It's been one of *those* weekends... I'm sure you know the kind I mean. ;] I was only able to keep up with this because of the trackbacks. Makes perfect sense. I don't mind the argument, and either way, I'm going to do as I choose, but a Bush win will make the whole discussion a moot point, IMO. Kerry wins, we can work out how best to deal with him and the gloating moonbats after the 3rd, prefferably in some way that won't wreck both the Union and the blogosphere in the process. Or the union, anyway. Wrecking the blogosphere is always kinda fun.

4 Oh, do let's!
