Every one of them, Biden, Dodd, Kuchinich, Richardson, Gravel, Edwards, Clinton and Obama would have beat McCain's ass handily.

An embarassment of riches we had this time around.

We have to win this. We have to work together.

1. Luck had nothing to do with it.
We are just FAR better than them.

2. We ALWAYS had great candidates - THEY had great control of the election process
at every level where the votes are allowed, cast and counted since the 90s. They also had the corporate media putting up a protection of a post 9-11 president that none of us have ever witnessed before in our many years watching elections.

Big difference.

They had an RNC machine willing to do anything - we had a DNC that sat on their hands for a decade and let them. Since 2005 we have new DNC leadership that works for ALL of us. HUGE Difference.
