I think if I had to choose today I would take John Kerry. While I may not agree with him on some issues, I like his eloquence and his apparent intelligence.

Gen. Clark is an interesting idea, he too being very eloquent and intelligent. Will be interesting to see how things pan out for him.

I do not personally like Joe Lieberman or Dick Gephardt. Kucinich and edwards I am unimpressed either way with.

Al Sharpton is trying to be like Jesse Jackson ca. 1984 but it isn;t gonna happen.

Carol Mosely Braun is a horrible candidate. I live in Illinois and even the hometown folks don't particularly like her.

Howard Dean is a little to far "left" to be elected I think. I also prefer moderately liberal candidates.

Bush is going to be uncontested as a Republican at this point and since I dislike him so much I will probably vote democrat in 2004.

Unless Jesse Ventura runs. I like Jesse's style and the fact that he can beat the living crap out of any other world leader would be pretty cool

Definitely Howard Dean.

But I can't even vote yet.

I'd probably look at Dean over the other choices...although I like Gen. Clark (only because he was on CNN every minute of the Iraq deal)...maybe as vp as well ?

However, I don't think any of these candidates are overly strong right now and there are way too many of them to sometimes figure out which one is which and has what agenda. And with only a year to go till elections..I don't think that's good. If the Dems don't get their act together, and narrow it down now...then to a solid final candididate after primaries, they are in trouble. It won't do them any good to have one candidate in 2004 yet 50% of the Democratic voters wishing someone else was on the ballot (i.e. "well since Al wasn't on the ballot, i'll vote green or indi...etc). If they can't, look forward to 4 more with G.W.

Until one of those people really makes some amazing move and awes me with their agenda (even though they never stick to them), I'll stick with party lines...even though I've never registered to vote.

hehe...some of you guys and girls know what i may write, and here it goes anyways: i'll be a US citizen just in time to cancel my friends vote for the Democrat, and vote Bush.

....i'm not sure how Bush's ratings are now, i dont think Bush is too concerned either though. but i think he has a very good chance of getting re-elected. the Democrats will have to pick a very strong, very liberal candidate, and i don't think the people will go for that.

You guys all seem to be on the Dean wagon...but theres no way Dean can beat Bush. Lieberman, IMO, has the best chance at becoming prez. He may not be my fav candidate but would u rather see Bush or Lieb in the white house?

No way! The traditional Republicans will still vote Republicans, but the lefties will either not vote or vote greens - either way, the Dems are stuffed. Like I have said countless times before, Lieberman is merely Bush toned down a shade, and I would like to think that the traditional Democrat voter is smart enough to see this (support for Lieberman has dropped off sharply since he started off the Democratic candidacy leading the race). If Lieberman gets the ticket, expect to see a much smaller voting turn-out (what's the point in voting in an election where the two candidates have such similar policies?) and the Democrats to lose traditional Democratic votes to the Greens, Independents or to just people not voting at all. The only votes that the Democrats could hope to win by putting Lieberman forward are the moderate rights, but whatever they gain in that area is likely to be offset by the votes they lose to the traditional leftists.

Besides, I'd like to think that by the end of Bush's term, people will be so sick and so weary of this brand of politics (especially given the likely state of the economy, Iraq etc) that they'll be happy to vote for someone on the other end of the spectrum. Either way, someone like Dean (or even Kerry, Clark, Graham etc.) have a much better chance of winning an election than Liberman purely by virtue of the fact that they are on the opposite side of Bush politically.

I for Dean right now, but I want to wait and see about Clark before I go behind Dean 100%. Dean isn't as liberal as everyone says he is, in fact, he's closer to being a moderate, and this will come out in the election. I think he is the only one who can beat Bush. But, as I tell all my republican friends:

ANYONE BUT BUSH 2004!
