The ideal would be Mario himself running, of course. ;)

And THANKS for jogging my memory of it with that YouTube version. It was relevant during the Reagan administration, and it's TEN times more relevant now.

PS: I'm recovering my former passion for Dennis Kucinich. I first saw him in the flesh at an anti-war rally in Seattle, in early 2003. He was in the crowd, then later on the stage with Jim McDermott and others. Later that year, I saw him mingling with the crowd at a picket line by SeaTac. I respect those like Murtha and others, but Dennis was right from the very start!
