Speaking to what we presume was a stunned college audience, George S. appraised the Democratic field:
...He was especially discouraged by front-runner Howard Dean's campaign based on antiwar outrage, believing Americans will prefer Republican optimism.
"I was meeting with Bush officials today," Stephanopoulos said, "and they were salivating to run against Howard Dean so they can accuse him of raising taxes."
Despite his doubts about Dean, Stephanopoulos did not express confidence in any other primary candidates.
He said Gen. Wesley Clark has lost support because he lacks a defined platform, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was hurt by waffling on the war issue; Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., is seen as too old; and Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., is too young. He added that Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., originally polled high but hasn't been able to excite Democrats or raise money.
Too weaselly, too old, too young, too dull - hey, but what about Dennis?
"...hey, but what about Dennis?"
Get that tongue out of your cheek, buddy. He's gonna win, I tell you. WIN.

George Stephanopoulos is a twitty opportunist that is only interested in keeping himself employed in the public eye. Having slithered his way off of Clinton's floundering and sinking ship he promptly became a Republican sycophant.
George needs to decide just what he is - Republican or Democrat. Maybe he has already decided that he's Republocrat opportunist.
