While I agree that Howard Dean could have a problem getting elected...I don't think that John Kerry is the answer. IMO, Kerry will have a harder time winning than Dean. Sharpton and Kucinich make the most sense, but have absolutely no chance. John Edwards screwed the pooch with his coward's approach to the partial birth abortion vote, and CMB isn't even worthy of mention in any discussion of potential presidential contenders. Lieberman? let's just say that CMB is more worthy. Gebhardt is a nice enough guy, but just not....presidential.
Kerry, Dean, and Clark are only possible nominees, and the repukish dirty tricksters and garbage-collectors know it too. They seem to be most scared of Howard Dean, as evidenced by the uniformity of their answer of his name to the question: "who would you like to see Bush facing on the ballot in Nov. 04?"...c'mon, not one of them would rather be up against Sharpton, Kucinich, or CMB??? They definitely seem the most scared of Dean, and are probably working up the thickest portfolio with the slimiest campaign tricks to use against him.
From the admittedly limited exposure I've had to each of the Main 3, I'm most supportive of Wesley Clark. I very much like the idea of a Clark/Dean ticket. Ultimately, beating the boy king is the most important thing. and BTW, like you- my wife and I will be leaving the country of our birth if that abomination of a PNAC figureheadis re-installed in his current position. We refuse to live under fascism.
