The Briefing - 12/14/04

Of course the biggest story is the verdict in the penalty phase of the Scott Peterson trial. A Redwood City jury voted to impose the death penalty for the murder of Peterson's wife, Laci, and their unborn child. The judge in the case will officially sentence Peterson on February 25, 2005.

Following the verdict, several jurors in the case spoke to the media and now all the cable talk shows will begin their 2 month analysis of the case, the jury, and the sentence. It will probably seem like there is no other story to cover.

The Peterson legal also spoke to the media. The most interesting part was Mark Geragos did proclaim his client innocent. In fact, there was the impression that Geragos knew Peterson was guilty. Geragos and company plan to appeal the conviction and the sentence. This will mean it will be, at least, 10 years before Scott Peterson is put to death.

Here are some other interesting items.

+Democrats are scurrying to find a new chairman for the DNC and George Soros and company are claiming to have bought the Democratic Party. If that wasn't enough for defeated Democrats, a early polls shows that the leading candidate for the 2008 nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), can be neaten by a "generic" Republican.

If the Democrats ever hope to hold a leadership role in the Federal government, they need to find a DNC Chairman who can fundraise and avoid the internal bickering. Leading candidate for the post, Howard Dean, is not the best choice. Anyone from MoveOn.org or the George Soros group are an even worse choice. The first thing the Democrats should understand is the American voter rejected most of their issues.

A move to the center will only demonstrate a lack of conviction on the issues. The national Democratic Party is much like the Republican Party in Illinois they have no stated purpose, identity, or direction.
