The Nashua Advocate: Pick the 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidate NOW
Only at The Nashua Advocate, it's Presidential March Madness.

That's right, in April. So sue us.

Make your selections from the field of 32 expertly-selected Democratic candidates--Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and other Party stars--discuss your picks here, and every week we will announce the winners and the new match-ups (the competition is structured to mirror the NCAA's "March Madness"; after one week we will have 16 candidates left, after two weeks 8 candidates, after three weeks 4 candidates, after four weeks we will be left with only two candidates--who will then go head-to-head in a two-week election cycle).

Don't miss out: this is your chance to send a message to the Democrats about the direction of the National Democratic Party. Directions for playing can be found at the link above.

(Keeping in mind, as you play, that the 2008 presidential election cycle is not so far off as you think, perhaps only 18 months away--so these are the sorts of decisions we as voters and political supporters/contributors will have to be making in the coming months).

And by all means: e-mail the above link to your friends! We want a nationwide sample which is at least semi-valid/semi-significant scientifically and statistically.
