66. Agreed
This far out from the 1992 election nobody but the party faithful had heard of Bill Clinton either, he pretty much came out of nowhere in the primaries. The idea that we have a "front runner" more than two years before the election strikes me as bizarre to say the least. Let's see who our field of hopefuls is first rather than judge blind and sight unseen.

I won't vote for Hillary though, nor Lieberman or the other compromisers. We need to find our old morals, remember the poor rather than just cater to the middle class and popular prejudice. There was a time when we had what it takes to take on an unpopular cause such as civil rights and the whole nation was better off for it. In this age of "play it safe" politics there's no room for morals or right and wrong and the whole nation has paid for it. Drop that crap and get back to our old base, see if we can't actually stand for something worthwhile again and draw a real difference between us and the opposition.
