Congratulations to ALL Our Candidates. It Was A Pleasure To Listen

[WiseMen]

All the candidates were engaging from Dean to Sharpton.
They kept a good balance between answering the questions and being
informative.

DK gave pointed visionary answers; Dean was diplomatic; Sharpton was as
sharp as a razor; Edwards was totally on the ball; and Kerry
was "Presidential."

Just imagine the pleasure of having this kind of discussion going
on over the next 8 years and being able to engage in the implementation
of progressive policies rather than having to listen to Rumsfeld and
Co. and protest Bush's war on humanity.

Whatever our candidate allegiance, let's get a democrat in the White House.

1. Yes

Yes, we need fraternity not fratrecide now.

I'm hoping Edwards gets the VP slot. I got off to a late start hearing his speeches, and I think his working class roots would greatly balance the ticket. If, God-forbid, Kerry should be incapacitated after winning, I think Edwards would carry forward very strongly into coming years, especially for the disadvantages and in the South.

I only wish this country had a primary system that let the whole damn population have a say. I have never, ever, had a primary vote count, as it has always been essentially decided.

On top of that, I vote in Kansas where the electoral college screws Democrats election after election.

The system is essentially rotten and undemocratic, which is why we have it!

Support direct elections, campaign reform and national run-off primaries.

2. I have a fantasy, that during the general election campaign...

all of our candidates -- who started out being called "the seven dwarfs," and overcame that image by speaking the truth about Bush, by showing themselves intelligent and articulate (in contrast), and by just being attractive, likeable individuals -- will crisscross this country nonstop in support of the Democratic nominee. And I want to see them all lined up together on the Convention stage in Boston. I've grown to love them all, and I think others have, too --
