4. I think they mean...
They'd be uncomfortable with all of the above with the exception of Gore. That's how I read it.

16. maybe it might depend on who's running against them? Like
if they pick sourpuss McCain - Edwards would look really good next to him. If they pick Rudy, who doesn't know much - maybe Richardson could beat him.

So, if they pick Fred, who would look good next to him?

23. Correct, where we are, but let's be honest--most Americans are not Liberals.
We must make the most we can with what we have and not take an all or nothing attitude. We must also realize that even our Democratic representatives are not beholden to simply those of us on the far left, but are answerable to others also. I, for one, would much rather see a conservative Democrat from a district or state which would otherwise be Republican since it counts toward our majority.

7. lol - he is a yappagator. But I was impressed with his obvious
fervor about Darfur. I also like his plan for dividing Iraq (no one else here agrees, I know). I think he is very, very intellegent. But - not intelligent enough to know to keep his comments shorter. I think Kerry had the problem too - now that I think about it Gore too. You know you hear the beginning and then your mind wanders as they ramble on.

9. I will support and vote for whoever our nominee is but...
I think Hillary is a weak candidate for the general election. Too much baggage and negatives too high. Thats who repukes want to run against. I think Edwards is our strongest announced candidate. Repukes and the Media elite are scared to death of him. By the way, I'm hoping Gore gets in.

11. If you were thinking about running and half the people hated you
and said they would never, ever consider voting for you, would you run? Wonder what that says about a person who doesn't seem to care that half the people hate her?

13. I'm not a Hillary fan, but if anybody thinks Biden would be a better president...
you are either ill-informed or a major shareholder in a credit card company.

20. you're right.
they could be major shareholders of some other kind of corporation.

Anyone who works for a paycheck would be an idiot to vote for him though.
