It's Banana 2, Sharpton 1, everybody else 0

I voted for Sharpton because he's less comprehensible than Bush.

John Kerry, no bout adoubt it.

As is my usual custom, I'll probably vote Kerry in primaries, in an attempt to have 2 viable candidates in general election.

I clicked Wes Clark as the person with the best shot at beating Bush (not necessarily the best president or best Democratic candidate.) His advantage is no one has the slightest idea what his positions are on anything--he doesn't have a political record to try to defend.

Carol Moseley Braun is a joke. The only reason she's even running is so she can continue to solicit campaign contribution which can be used to help maintain the standard of living that she became accustomed too while she was in Congress. She is slime and wouldn't even carry her own neighborhood. Republicans would drool over the oportunity to run against her.

Dean! The Democratic McCain.

Dean is a straight-shooter and has some interesting ideas. But Bush would absolutely mull Dean.

John Kerry seems like an equivicator and is all around boring. But he has the best chance of beating Bush.

So, no third or forth party candidate. Down with the two party system!

	Tired of ads?

Is this going to be a contest to win the election or to not lose it?

I ask because it seems (from this side of the Atlantic) that the Democrats either can't find a really good candidate or that any potentially serious Democrat candidates have decided to pass this time and wait for another four years.

The Democrats feel that running anybody with a sound ideology and clear ideas for the future simply wouldn't be sporting, given the opposition.

that the Democrats either can't find a really good candidate

Almost everybody and their brother is running for the Democratic nomination. It might even be the most ever for any party.

Given this, wouldn't it be pathetic if they couldn't field somebody of high caliber?

Dean is my choice. I don't think Bush would be able to "maul" him any more than, say, Kerry. The only issue he could really use different from other Dems would be Vermont's domestic partnership bill, which wouldn't be a good idea, IMO.

My hunch is Braun was egged into running partly by other Dems to split the black vote that Sharpton is trying to win. I'm not so sure this will be effective, since I don't the same kind of voters would support them.

I'm using the most important criteria - what do they look like. Clark looks the most presidential. But on the other hand...

I think a Dean or a Clark would take a lot of the middle voters away from Bush. Many of the others may be considered as too entrenched in the status quo.

Don't know. Clark hasn't even announced his party, so he's a little hypothetical at this point.
