The Ideal Candidate Would Have....

[rucky]

Clark's brain
Dean's passion
Kucinich's vision
Kerry's experience
Edwards' attitude
Gephardt's geography
Sharpton's speaking skills
Braun's sensibility
Lieberman's debate skills

and Bill Clinton's aura

1. Scratch the Lieberman one.

He was demolished in the Veep debate by heartless Dick.

[rucky]

2. I had to think of something nice

I like his delivery when he speaks...not necessarily what he has to say, tho.

[Upfront]

4. Great Candidate

I would be happy with Deans brain however.

[liberalcapitalist]

10. how about Lieberman's impersonation of Alf's dad skill?

Perfect.

[blm]

3. Dean''s passion is for Dean's campaign. Kucinich's passion is for people.

Kerry's passion is for a healthy environment and just governance. I'll take Kerry and Kucinich's passion.

7. No arguement re: Kerry & Kucinich

but I've seen Dean speak & I believe he is sincere.

so what characteristic of Dean would you plug in? innovation? feistiness? backbone? fundraising ability?

[blm]

8. I've seen Dean's record and know he's not running as he governed.

The characteristic I applaud of Dean's.....Maybe his single-minded determination to win at all costs. Although there is a price to be paid for that, too.

5. I like Kucinich's heart. There's only one thing I don't like about him...

...I see him as an isolationist, and I'm a big fan of liberal internationalism, FDR-style.

But even on that issue, I think Kucinichs's heart is in the right place.

[AP]

6. I think Clinton's best skill is political Savy.

Not just intelligence, but savoir faire was his genius.

Clark may be smart, but I don't know if he has savy.

Clark's best quality is that he's like, "powerful liberalism." You can be strong, committed, results-oriented, and still be a liberal.

9. Kucinich's ability to engage in inter-galactic space travel.
