If Slick ends up, God forbid, dead… then the Dems have a martyr. And don’t for one minute think they won’t use it. The same way that the Republicans are encouraging us to “win one for the Gipper,” the Democrats will milk Slick’s death (again, God forbid) for all it is worth. I anticipate posters, bumper stickers, and heavy sweat pouring off the forehead of John Kerry as he tries to figure out a way to stick to his “I’m a Vietnam War Hero and the Bush campaign is full of draft dodgers” line while also praising the prince of all draft dodgers, Bill Clinton. It would be interesting. But not worth it.

So, get well, Bubba. Those of us who think this election should be decided on the issues need you healthy and alive.
