Because the best things in life are free.

 
Tune In Tomorrow

Neither the Brown and Black Forum nor the O'Neill piece on "60 Minutes" has seemingly shaken the political landscape as much as we thought. We then again...when the biggest story is Al Sharpton pointing out Howard Dean never hired a black man on his cabinet. While this would be shocking and outrageous, we remind you that Vermont is still 97% white and that's hard to figure how he could avoid being called a tokenizer if he just had one African-American employee....Nevertheless...the dirt has been hurled and who knows what's going to happen.

But so that left the evening to be headlined not by Donovan McNabb's miracle pass but instead Paul O'Neill. A disaffected fiscal conservative, O'Neill has finally reaffirmed the fears of others. There is no link between Iraq and Al Qaeda and it turns out that Dick Cheney and the others really don't care about "Social Security and fundamental tax reform". So while the CBS went and served the red-meat as early as Friday morning, the true impact won't be known until tomorrow when the country goes back to work. The major events are over in Iowa, meaning now it's just time to do the standard campaigning. And of all people, who got the biggest endorsement today, courtesy of the Des Moines Register: John Edwards. It might seem like a stretch but actually remember aside from Gephardt, this campaign is dominated by men who were either going to challenge Gore outright in 2000 or run with him. Eventually the race will come down to three men: Dean, Clark, and Edwards.
