This guy too stands to the right of his opponent in regard to the
war, although he dissembles his actual position in pursuit of votes.<br>
<br>
It hasn't worked, though. The NYT gives him an 0.2% chance of
winning. (Yes, two tenths of one percent.)<br>
<br>
(If you like those odds, I'd like to invite you to join the weekly
poker game at my place.)<br>
<br>
The chances are that he will secure a smaller percentage of the vote
than any Democrat in this district in this century, with the
possible exception of a Democratic party place-holder who was rushed
into the race in 2002 to keep votes away from a Green candidate.<br>
<br>
It's not clear that a serious anti-war, pro-jobs - and therefore
anti-administration - campaign would have done any better than
Gill's personality parade, but for all his pretense to be an
"independent Democrat" (that meant only that the state party,
realistically assessing his chances, wouldn't give him any money),
it certainly wasn't tried.<br>
