First, Jonathan is right that the British claimed to have killed Chemical Ali in April, but those claims were later proven untrue.


Second, the Washington Post this morning actually carried a profile of Dick Gephardt claiming he was the really radical candidate:
At a time when many voters complain of little distinction between the two political parties, Gephardt is calling for a bigger and more activist federal government, one markedly different from the one envisioned by President Bush and by the other contenders for the Democratic nomination.

A Gephardt administration would impose higher taxes on individuals, restrict foreign trade and pick up a huge chunk of the nation's soaring health care tab. At a time of near-record deficits, Gephardt would lobby Congress to increase spending for several education programs, including a universal preschool program, and create a new energy program.

The article even features criticism of Gephardt's plans by the apparently comparatively conservative Howard Dean, who Jonathan accurately characterizes below as a classic income-redistributing democrat.

Between these guys and Lieberman's problems, I am starting to share Jonathan's optimism for a 49-state landslide.
