125. Yeah, I can tell.
That is why this debate is on going. The concern about our democratic republic is such a vital part of this discussion. (sarcasm)

I repeat, none of the democratic candidates could have won the 2004 election. They have developed the election deception process to such an art form, we could have run the Big Dawg, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus Christ, or any of your favorite leaders and we would still be where we are today!

Clark, Gephart and Kerry may share responsibility regarding Dean's inability to win the primaries, but it was Dean's inability to get beyond the scream and to adequately and effectively respond to the well timed and edited sound bite. Kerry did better with the SBV than Dean did with the scream that will haunt him for years.

If you are so concerned about the democratic republic as you insist, then you would stop bickering about the worst of the political partianship, the inside the party partisanship. You would focus on how to try to fix the election process rather than throwing the candidates to the wolves by debating this stupid issue. If we don't fix the process then our next candidate will be just another sacrificial lamb.
