54. They all sucked. Every one of them has proven to be a craven politician in the end.

Even Kucinich's cave-in after his defiant stand against the health care reform was craven. I think his job is to corral the progressive votes into the DLC camp.

Basically, if there was very a good candidate he or she would be mercilessly crushed by corruption in both parties. For that reason, I don't think a decent candidate will arise from the muck without a fighting social movement behind him or her.
