Gore or Feingold or someone not in the current field.
I guess I'm difficult to satisfy, but I still don't have the spirit centered on any of the current candidates. It is not that they are poor candidates at all. They represent a wide range of ideas. Yet, none of them energize or electrify.

What does Gore know that makes him shy away from a national race that he could certainly win? Would be ethically wrong to waterboard him and force him to run? What about Russ Feingold? I'm thinking that they don't see many options out of this hellhole LittleBush has put us in.

1. Gore and Clark are possibilities, Feingold seems not to be tempted
and I would prefer any of the three to those now running.

2. Feingold came to the realization that being a darling of the liberal left
may get you elected president of DU, but not of the U.S. Not every liberal politician needs to run for president because we still need some strong voices and people of conviction in Congress and elsewhere. Luckily for me Feingold is one of my U.S. senators and will probably remain one for as long as he wants to run.
