Because we're running such good people.

2. Failed to mention Kucinich in his "other candidates" statement.
Wonder why.

He does indeed make a great point, though.

7. I got the impression that he was naming candidates that he knows pretty well.
Maybe he doesn't know Kucinich that well?

17. There is a limit to good candidates
I think Kucinich is the limit followed by the guy from Alaska

22. Our team looks especially good compared with the R's.
Have you ever seen such a collection of flawed losers as our friends the Republicans have put up on the stage? I mean, Giuliani? My God. The man is an incompetent, authoritarian jerk with judgment even worse than the Idiot's (Bernard Kerik, anyone?). Romney? Truly the emptiest of empty suits. A rich, handsome buffoon. Fred Thompson? Please. Stand by for Flameout City! And we need not even speak of the execrable Tancredo, the hideous Brownback, or the very, very sad McCain.

How can anyone think that this raft of sad sacks can even begin to compete with the likes of Hillary, Obama, and Edwards? Our "lower-tier" candidates (i.e. the ones not anointed by The Media) are just as good as the front-runners, and any of ours would be a better president than any of theirs.

OK, now how can the Dems possibly blow this one?

At least when he spoke you felt like a grownup was in charge.

8. After Bush, is it not amazing to hear so much info in such a small amount of time?
I was just mesmerized- His opinion on Iraq and the military was right on. I can only imagine what the Bushies are working on to counteract. He's the MAN!!

12. Lucidity. Who knew it was such a luxury?
All our candidates have it, which is why we are RICH, RICH, RICH!

11. I thought he was a good guy too!
Its like gas prices though, say it was $2 a gallon, then they jack it up to $3.50 a gallon, they then drop it to $2.75 a gallon and we are all so happy its low again? I thought more of him then because I didn't know as much about him, he was just a nice guy. Now after Bush, he looks even better even though I still disagree with NAFTA and any type of plan for the North American Union.

13. I wonder if there are any Pubs who watch him now and realize
how much better a human being Bill is than their current AH? I realize none of them would ever admit it in public, but privately, or maybe just in their minds, I can't believe they can possibly ignore sll of Shrub's mistakes, lack af knowledge or anything, and complete inability to even speak a complete sentence that is more than 5 words long!

I realize I always liked BC, but to watch him now, compared to the current occupant of the WH, I just have to sit and cry!

14. It's Clinton's fault Bush is such a bad President.
We need to make little W prez for life, and he can eventually fix all these problems caused by Clinton.

15. MY Hill and Bill are coordinated.That is exactly what she said on Ellen.Verbatim.
I guess unlike Elizabeth Edwards Bill gets permission before speaking! or at least rehearses! I agree with him but I wish it wasn't so rehearsed between the two of them.I mean the exact wording? Please.But I' ll give them this, they are "on message'.

20. Carville at work
I wonder if Hillary wins the nomination, will Carville and his wife let her win or help short-circuit her victory by helping the GOP steal some votes as they did with Kerry?

I don't trust him to run any Dem's campaign.

24. Yes, I noticed that too, but it IS the right thing to say. And true.
His comments about "the troops" were also identical to hers. Again, the right thing to say, so why not say it.

16. Sure, why bother to "be against" war criminals?
Or election thieves? Or war mongers?

It's all just Beltway Bingo right?

Go back to bed America.

23. In other words this is simply more unbacked, unproven psuedo scientific gabble
Please don't hold my wife's stance on the war, and her corporatist puppet strings against her. She really is a good person:eyes:

27. Probably you don't realize how possible that is.
Maybe it helps you to believe your enemies, or anyone who simply disagrees with you, is not quite human, but it isn't actually true, is it?

26. What good people?
As someone who can't figure out who to vote for, I can't say that I agree with him.

Yes... I'm Debbie Downer, but I'm still feeling very lackluster about this crowd.
