I have listened, read and researched I still have not selected anyone from among the candidates. I keep waiting for someone with a bold, new plan that will breech the values-economic experience disconnect of the majority of Americans. So far, there are no bold plans. Maybe I have overlooked them or do not understand what is being presented.
For those who have made their choice could you give me a new bold plan that is being put forth by your candidate that would make me and others of the majority vote for them.
This is your chance to win a vote for your candidate.

1. Sigh, I still think the "election" will be rigged. |

No bold new plans. Same old, same old. They get their $$$ from the same sources as the repukes.

100,000 regular people donating an average of $100 apiece? That's not where the republican party gets its money. At least not the big money.

that someone will jump in who hasn't already and that person will make me excited about being able to vote again! Of course, it's anybody but Bush for me, but I'd like to be happy about my vote as well!

3. I am leaning toward Graham ... |
|
and I loved his message tonight. He pointed out Bush's failings in the starkest language of any of the candidates and for me, the most important thing I heard him say in the debate tonight was when he proposed raising the ceiling on FICA as the cure for the SS woes. I think he was spot on and gets it.
He isn't flashy but he's solid and serious and I think that solid might be exactly what we want.

Have not decided. If I had to put them in any sort of order, it would be:
Dean or Clark (if Clark is in, I'm with him) Kerry Graham Edwards (the rest of them!)
Gephart and Liberman are too Demopublican for me... Dennis makes Jerry Brown look conservative, and the rest are 'also rans.' CMB and Sharpton cannot generate a base large enough to satisfy the party elite. I've met Dennis K., and in general I love his politics, but, he is too left to be the party's pick this cycle.

5. I am leaning toward Dean |
|
But my heart is with Al Sharpton. He is a breath of fresh air. I just don't think he can win.

6. We don't have any of those, I'm afraid |
|
Find some favorites and wait until one does something that's *really* exciting. That's what I'm doing.

Oops - that was '92. That is how out of step I was with the primary popular voting then, and to ask me now - I would probably be just as out of touch. Good thing for any candidate - I am in a wait and see mode. ;-)
