Democratic Ticket for 2008

[quote name='Socrates' date='Feb 6 2006, 07:01 PM']I think the Dems will run a bland, "moderate" candidate, someone who will generate the least controversy, and whose only  distinction will be lack of association with Bush and the Republicans.

I'm generally not too excited about any of the likely candidates of either party right now.  Politics are really depressing me these days.

Same here.

I don't know about Dems running a moderate, though. Primaries are weird. Their base is so radical, and a lot of "moderates" don't even vote in the primary.

I wish there was a better process for picking candidates.

While for years, people on the Right have been acting all upset about the possibility of Hillary becoming Pres, I actually think that is wishful thinking.

I'm sure she wants to run, but Idon't think the Dems will nominate her.  Despite all her recent "moderate" noises, and "softening" of her public image, she still way too divisive, and a lot us aren't fooled.

If the Dems are smart that's what they'll do. In fact, if they are deserving of their Ivy league degrees they'll run a pro-life guy, change their platform, and win back a lot of Catholics and working men.

That said, they got nobody at present. The most moderate guy I think they could run is our boy Mark Warner. Yay Virginia. I still wouldn't vote for him.
