I'm on that list too and I definitely will not support his run.

Wonder how many of those three million fell into that catagory.

Hillary is a poor choice as well. I don't get why she gets talked about a lot. She may make a good showing in the primaries. But if she were to actually win the primary, she has zero chance of winning a general election. The rethuglicans will crucify her, she doesn't have the charisma or political clout to pull the middle ground, and she'd get spectacularly creamed in the Bible belt.

2008 will likely be a good opportunity for a Democrat to win, but only if they field a decent candidate. So far, I'm not seeing anyone who gets me exited at all. But it is still a couple years off. Who knows?

Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer are my favorite Dems lately.

I'm on that list and receive those emails, too. Just too lazy to take myself off..not really a supporter anymore.

Although it is way too early, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner is shaping up to be the anti-Hillary. He's raising tons of $$$ and has coattails in a red state. He'll leave office with a totally ridiculous approval number of somewhere in the 70's.

Also I like John Edwards. Warner and Edwards can expand the electoral map, and most of all, win back white males to the Dems (a group that has gone GOP big recently).

Go read this story at the Washingtonpost:

A lesbian couple, together 40 years, having to sell their home and move out of Virginiaā€”thanks, in part, to Mark Warner.

Who gave Howard Dean his early lift? Queers. Who will fuck Warner? Those same queers.

Someone Not As Boring As Kerry Or Mondale in 2008.

I can - it's a weakness of the Dem primary schedule and process.

In a grumpy nutshell - Democracy leaked into the process allowing The People to choose a candidate. When the pols were in charge of rustling up people you could vote for, you had viable candidates. Take the pros out of the process .. and you get Kerry.

Yes, it's more nuanced than that, but for a quick summary it's not far wrong.

Democracy, it's been said, is a good thing in moderate amounts. Too much of it (as anything) is bad for you.

Plausable conspiracy theory #392

Of the likely choices, Wesley Clark is my preference as the Democratic presidential or vice-presidential nominee in 2008. Also, I'd like to see Yale alumni banned from national politics.

If by 'better' you mean 'least likely to scare off the left-wing's PC base and the undecided', then you are correct.

Dean was roasted by the media for his 'outburst', which was simply a glorified pep rally, and Dean lost his heat only when said media suddenly and inexplicably jumped on the Kerry bandwagon.

Wesley Clark is creepy.
