I don't believe that one half of democrats are 'unhappy with the choices.' I do believe that many are undecided. I've been voting for 43 years, & have picked the democratic choice all but one time. Without a doubt, I'm going to say that the problem lies in the good choices democrats have that fuels their indecision. IMO, it's a three way race, and the pick will be close. (Dennis Kuchinich (sp) is also a good choice, but I think Clinton, Obama, and Edwards have the edge). And I think so far, that the one candidate who can take on the CONS with ease, is Hillary Clinton.

After much disgust and researching the "alternative" American political parties out there, I have recently changed my party affiliation to one more in line with what I believe a government should/could be. Corporate America and the economy has too much of an influence on the front runners.

We have seen both sides of the parties take and do the opposite of what they say. We have seen both sides of the parties fight off the logical things that they should have fought for. We The average Worker are treated as just a vote and nothing more. Still we will vote. We have also seen that twisted twice noticed. We The People had better see different this time.

Of course the field isn't set. It's the first time in a long time that a VP isn't running.
We'll see what Fred Thompson does when he gets going.
Giuliani and Hillary are two sides of the same coin-- not really caring about America but for their own thirst for power.
As for Obama, I dunno. He did miss the John Doe anonymous vote in the senate that would have protected us from being sued if we reported imams acting suspiciously on an aircraft. He was handing out condoms to five year olds. Real presidential material there.

I'm not thrilled with the whole field period, maybe I'm being pessimistic, leary , and uptight about the situation, while I should be happy Bush/Cheney will be gone. I just don't want to make the wrong choice.

He missed the John Doe anonymous vote that would have protected the racist who got all the brown-skinned people kicked off the plane from getting sued? (Yes, that protection would also have been granted by the act -- maybe he felt that he had a conflict of interest being a brown-skinned person himself.)
And I don't think he was handing out condoms to 5 year olds... he just wanted to. And it wasn't his idea either, he just supported it when someone else brought it up. No wait - the idea wasn't to give condoms to five-year-olds, it was to protect them from child molesters... oh well, it all equates to the same thing.
(Isn't it interesting how you can tell an irrational argument by the way it's twisted and exaggerated into what WOULD be a rational argument before being used?)

I think voting on the side of controversy once in a while (rather than sticking to the straight and easy path) is an admirable quality and SHOULD be sought after in a president.

The young get very obsessed with what they do in their youth.

No one seems to be discussing the fact that the Democrats and the Republicans have no one person who is electable, presidential material. The only positive note in this election cycle comes from the fact that for the first time a woman and a black actually have a chance of being elected president. Sadly whether or not they are qualified to be president will have no bearing on the outcome.

One negative aspect in this upcoming election is that (so far) there is no Candidate that possesses the leadership qualities needed in the White House to deal with Iraq & other issues in foreign policies/politics, domestic problems.
One positive aspect is just about anyone has potential to do a better job then Bush has done in these past yrs.
That gives me a sense of hope, eager anticipation, & a feeling of great relief.

Just wait 'til a year from now. We are all going to be so tired of the presidential race that if a dark horse clown throws his hat in the ring, he'll be a shoe-in. We'll be so sick of everybody else.
