What matters most is that the nominee's strategic team is very good. I'm just tired of hearing that this candidate or that candidate isn't electable. Who is with me?

You're right. I wish Kucinich was a front-runner. :-(

4. I agree with you 75%
well, actually 50%, because no New England "liberal" can win. That's politics in 2004. All four are great guys, but being realistic is something Democrats need to be.... or else.

7. The New England thing
I think that this perception can be changed when policies come into view and if a candidate is perceived as strong on security. Again, we just need good advisors for our nominee. Dean is not really a liberal, and I don't think Kerry would be seen as weak on security.

11. Yes, it will be a challenge
But we let the Republicans paint us for too long. We have to start defining ourselves.

9. That's true
My thinking is that if someone with as many deficiencies as Bush has can become President, even the most unelectable of our front runners can be elected if they effectively stay on message and pick a good team.
