For many years I have reached out and tried unsuccessfully to bridge the differences between Democrats and myself despite the fact that these efforts have never resulted in anything more than dashed political hopes. My simple plea has been for Democrats to earn my vote-and most of America's-by standing on a people-centered platform and selecting a world-class Presidential candidate to champion it.

I simply disagree with my friends who say that superior leadership doesn't make a difference. Therefore, in the face of their constant discouragement, I have continued to reflect on what the leadership I can support would look like and who in the Democratic Party might embody it. At this moment in time, I've concluded that it is found in the person of Mr. Bill Moyers.

2. My name is Old Crusoe, and I'm a Bill Moyers zealot.

We would be much better off with someone of his heart and mind in the White House.

3. If only :((

Bill has been one of my heroes since he bravely went against Poppy Bush via the media many years ago. There were lots of people too frightened to do it, but Bill did.

And he also conducted some of my favorite interviews, including one with Dr. Maya Angelou (my lord and savior), but I don't think that's a Presidential qualification.

4. I'll second that nomination...

They just don't come any better than Bill Moyers.

...standard for what all professional journalists should aspire to be.
