"In August 2003, a CBS News poll found that 32% of registered Democrats didn't know which of the announced candidates they preferred and 15% said "other." With nearly half of the Democratic electorate undecided and unhappy with the choices."
Wow-very interesting!!

There is a GREAT deal of dissatisfaction with the status quo out there, and that translates into a distrust of all the establishment choices, 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.

The more I hear Obama, I'm convinced he lacks the depth to do the job.

aniokly that should go to the press. That is what is wrong with our government now. Did you know that on national TV earlier this year that Obama is a gambler. He plays cards. The Cat got out the bag on TV.

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.

John Kerry and Al Gore were a million times better than what the Dems have to offer this time.

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.
