What really has irked me about the whole Dem campaign thus far has been their message, or rather, lack of one.
Almost as a whole, the whole campaign, regardless of candidate has been along the lines of "We don't like Bush for this, we don't like Bush for that, or, we don't like Bush." That may well be true, but if you don't like his policies, what are yours? I haven't heard any specifics other than the politically suicidal "we'll recind the tax cuts if elected" mantra. Does anyone else want to pay MORE taxes?
I think Dean is finished following his meltdown in Iowa - that is really gaining traction. It'll be Kerry or Clark up against Bush, and I don't think either of them can beat Bush. Kerry is too stoic and wooden (a better coiffed version of Al Gore in my opinion) and Clark flip-flops all the time on issues and beliefs, then gets mad when he is caught flip-flopping.
There is a lack of message, and worse, a lack of charisma. Right or wrong, at least Bush has been very consistent in most of his beliefs - so you know what you'll get, whether you like it or not. The Dems are too chameleon in this campaign.
