Hope this makes people feel a little better

[rpannier]

Here are the people running (or have some form of exploratory committee) for their party nomination for president

***note; These are the names I've read of or heard about***

Democratic: Sec of State/Sen. Clinton, Sen Sanders, MD Gov O' Malley, Sen. Webb, MT Gov. Schweitzer

Republican: Dr. Carson, FL Gov. Bush, Sen Cruz, Sen Paul, AR Gov Huckabee, NY Gov Pataki, Ms Fiorina, Sen Rubio, NJ Gov. Christie, Sen Graham, LA Gov Jindal, TX Gov Perry, Sen Santorum, WI Gov Walker, Donald Trump, Rep Peter King, OH Gov Kasich


There... Does everyone feel a little better now?
I mean, you could be a Republican having to choose

[merrily]

1. There's also Chafee, right? For me, Webb and Schweitzer are non starters.

[rpannier]

4. Agreed. But looking at the republikkan field

I'd classify that whole group as non-starters

[merrily]

5. For me, that goes without saying. That's why we refer to them collectively as the clown car.

Nonetheless, if Jeb is the nominee on the right, maybe even Cruz or Rubio, Democrats damn well better GOTV.

In fact, we should have started sooner with a voter registration mechanism to replace ACORN and also to compete with the Koch-backed Tea Party voter registration entities and also moves in every state to go to paper ballots and also to put stiff penalties on things like interfering with voters.

2. Is Schweitzer in? I hadn't heard much from him.

I remember people thinking he was the bees knees some years ago.

3. Read he has an exploratory committee

Lot of them do, though mostly they're republikkans

6. The GOP debates should be fun to watch

As they have been in the past. Although they would be more entertaining if they had rMoney and Bachmann.
