New Blood

[searchingforlight]

Yesterdays local victories gave me some hope that 2006 and 2008 may hold promise for us but I am convinced that we must find a fresh face within our party to be our standard bearer for the next Presidential race.

I see many posts suggesting Gore, Kerry, Clinton, et al but surely there must be someone on the scene that could bring a fire into the belly of the american electorate. Any ideas?

Warner

Timing is good too. Good fiscal record, etc.

2. That's what gave us Clinton and that's what gave us Bush2.

Clinton's inexperience let him get duped by Poppy into keeping the books closed on BCCI.

Had those books been opened there would never have been any Bush allowed NEAR the White House ever again.

There would have been no 9-11.

There would be no constant Holy War.

His inexperience and eagerness to please Poppy's boys brought us Louis Freeh, the worst FBI head in its history.

David Gergen was put in place to babysit the WH for Poppy.

3. I am not advocating someone inexperienced.

Like it or not, our image is not good either. The people of America do not like Dem leaders and they voice that regularly when given the chance. I am talking about Dems more than Repubs.

We need to give our people a candidate who will inspire them AND we need a candidate who will appeal to moderate Republicans who have to make a choice between the religious, conservative right or the other guy.

4. What we need is a broadcast media that isn't 90% controlled by the GOP
