[Prudence]

I have no idea who the Dems could run as a strong contender next go 'round, but in my fantasy land that person runs on a strong platform focused on fiscal responsibility (reducing debt, developing alternative (non-federal) funding for social programs, streamlining social programs), smaller government, and restoration of personal freedoms, including freedom of association. I've long felt that the only real difference between the parties was gay rights and Roe v. Wade. So what would happen if the Ds co-opted the traditional conservative viewpoints and proved that the Rs are only socially conservative?

As I said -- it's my fantasy land. <sigh>
