With a great deal of respect to Nelson Mandella's B-day, may I make a request?

With a show of hands (or typed statements) How many here would consider Robert F Kennedy Jr as a candidate for the primaries for 2012?

He is firm and he is ardently supportive of the environment. (I doubt his Adminstration would let the
nation's EPA grant approval for a foreign nation's oil company to spray and untested chemical across any of our waters or lands.)

He is a leader, and his credentials include speaking out against the two lousy, non-winnable (but profitable) wars we are fighting...

The only downside I see is that he could easily meet with the same fate his dad met with,

His entering the race would mean that the deep roots, FDR principles of the Democratic Party would again be asserted.

We would have a candidate who was actually standing with the Middle Incomed and the poor. Perhaps too,
he would be someone who would AVOID the damn G 8 and G 20 summits, which are arranged meetings of the
Uber Elite for the purpose of enslaving not only Third World Countries, but the Middle Incomed and the poor of the
United States.

1. Bait and switch.

Your post has nothing to do with Mandella.

2. yep i wouldn't need to be mentioning Robert F Kennedy Jr

As a possible contender for nominee from the Democratic Party if I had not been the victim of the good ol bait and switch.

It took me till this Administration's appointments were made in January of 2009, but a lot more people now get it.

Tim Kaine was right. The only primary challenge to Obama will come from the fringe.
