Why don't the Democrats just
go ahead and choose Lieberman because seriously they don't want to win the election. I think most could be unified again - in at least whom they don't want.

1. Why do "they don't want to win the election"?
I find this question confusing. Could you explain? Thanks.

2. What do you mean?
Do you believe the most "electable" candidate isn't going to win? Who is it?

3. Lieberman is moderate enough to win the general election

7. You call it "centrist"...
I call it the wrong message. He believes that it should be the same old way in Washington, though not as right-wing as the current idiot. The fact is we need a complete change in our political structure. All the lobbyists and corporate involvement needs to be removed. And this is the year that we the people take it back!

8. I see sabotaging of the candidates
by the Democrats themselves. First Dean,then Clark,now Kerry and if Edwards really took hold he would be too, which all leads me to believe that the Dems don't really want to win this go around..... I believe the 08 elections are a factor whether others do/not. I have other reasons but they would be flame bait so I will not post them.

10. I got mostly ignored on another thread for this
but it doesn't seem like anyone is even thinking about Bush actually winning. I hate Bush as much as anybody else in their right mind, but with all of this BS in the democratic primaries, and each accusing the others of this or that, the press totally blowing things out of context and the candidates harming themselves, Bush becomes more and more likely to win. If the dems dont quit blasting each other on everything, it gives Bush more and more opportunity because not a single strong candidate will make it through the mess of the primaries. I dread Bush being in office for another 4 years, because I see that as Bush being in office for another 20 years(or people like him) and this country would fall apart.

If things keep going the way they are, then Leiberman or even...(yikes!) the Reverend will come out the victors and if that happens, we might as well not even run a candidate against Bush for all the good someone like Leiberman and Sharpton would do.
