Reply #8: how about someone who's politics we agree with and who has

[Cheswick2.0]

a personality? I like/admire and respect Howard Dean. I love Al Gore (finest human being in politics and I agree with him on almost everything). I like Tom Harkin. I like Barrack Obama so far but please, no more one term senators running for Pres. Let's see what someone's real values are before we nominate them. It is important to see what a politician will do under fire over the course of a career. That is one reason why I never supported Clark.. not enough information.
Ed Rendell is very good at politics but I am not sure how he would come off nationally. People would probably get weird about his weight and his wife who is a judge and has a life of her own. And he is also kind of gruf like Dean. It is a pity that we have such shallow values in this country and yes, even in the democrat party.
