Sigh... 5 people disagreed with you. They considered it racist. So maybe it isn't as OBVIOUS as you think.

So your opinon DOESN'T matter. Deal with it. Because the next time you make a racist comment, even in jest, you are toast... and you will be taking the hike.

The Democrates are facing an identity crisis just like Labor faced an identity crisis in Britain during the 1980s. Traditionally the Dems really were focused on being socialists with a tax and spend additude. Clinton grabbed the Democratic leadership and dragged them kicking and screaming into the political center and that is why the Dems did so good in the 1990s.

Now that Clinton is out of the picture there is a tug-a-war going on between the old party elite, who want to go hard left again, and the surviving Clintonists, who want to stay in the middle. Nether side seems to be able to get support from the other even during elections so Dems haven't been fairing so well against Republicans who, while being more right then many party memebers, have been voting as a block for the party's candidate.

John Kerry all the way.

Is Kerry going to bypass the fundraising caps and tap into the family fortune?

He may have to in order to compete.

he has said he will do so only if attacks on him become too personal. I think that means "too personal, or we need a little extra oomph."

Clinton was not rich at all, by presidential standards. And he was born dirt poor.

There have been presidents with all sorts of asset levels. I don't think it has changed one way or the other in that respect lately.

This seems to be a tangible leg up that Kerry has, at least in the primaries. He should hope for the widest possible field to dilute the donations for his competitors.

Can the field get any wider? Isn't every Democrat in the nation already running?

I think Jim Carrey would make a better candidate than John Kerry.

First, he's Canadian therefore not American (a good thing).

Second, footage from his election run against Bush could be compilated and released as Dumb and Dumber : the Documentary.

Third, he's almost as funny as Colin Powell.

Fourth, the last time the US had an actor at the helm, the Berlin Wall came down & the US became the onl world power... think of what might happen this time !

I haven't made up my mind yet. Gephardt, Dean, and Kerry have all impressed me. Wesley Clark gave an excellent, thoughful interview a couple of weeks ago, but only on limited issues. Edwards, despite his inexperience, could well make a go of it. He has as much experience as did a certain part-time governor from Texas I could mention.

However, even if it comes down to a vote between Bush and banana, I'm voting against "W" (as in What the heck happened to the economy, the ecology and civil rights??)
