Presidential, Pardon?
Okay, we already know that Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley-Braun's respective campaigns are basically just covers for get-out-the-vote drives and nudging the Dems further left. But what to make of Bob Graham and Dennis Kucinich, who apparently seem to think they have a snowball's chance in hell? Don't get me wrong, I understand the all-important hubris that drives a person to do this in the first place- but these guys should at least have people surrounding them who know better. I like Kucinich, but come on, let's be real. A Department of Peace? Sorry, but the sixties pretty much permanently ruined that word for the rest of us. And don't even get me started on Gephardt. The man makes Gore look like a real fire-and-brimstone contender. I can't even bring myself to give you the real link to Lieberman's site- go to this one instead.
So let's see: That leaves us with Dean, Kerry, and Edwards as the possibilities. Sorry, Gen. Clark, but you just waited a little too long, my friend. There you have it. Pay 'em a visit. The Sharpton site is particularly entertaining. But I wish the other Dems would stop kidding themselves, and start choosing sides. Ah well, but maybe that's because I just want the damn thing over with already. I usually have more of a stomach for these kinds of horse races, but really, isn't the only real issue here the fact that we all hate Bush?
