2. Kerry is more liberal than Lieberman and Dean.
I really don't get what the big hangup is.

7. He may be
But he knows the possible outcome of him running. And then he says " I won't run if Dean gets the Nomination."

That's just wrong.

11. Thank you.
I think he'll be viewed by most democrats and people on the left as a man who did some great things in the past, but who has an identity crisis, and is behaving in a selfish, immature manner. He is putting his own needs before millions of Americans, not to mention the masses around the globe. As an admirer of Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, I believe that our nation is in desperate need of radical change. Getting Bush out of office is the first and most immediate goal. Nader has compromised his once-decent reputation. Yes, I admire what he did 20 years ago, but I think what he is doing today is pathetic.

6. Next Bush will be telling the Democrats who he wants to run against
Why should Democratic voters take the opponent's suggestions on who should be the nominee into consideration?

12. And you believe everything Ralph tells you?
You gives a rat's ass what Ralph thinks. He's not a Democrat. If he were, he'd have run in the primaries and we'd have proven that he is as electable as Al Sharpton.

He is a liar and lackey of the Republican Party.

13. First you have to elect someone
which means that have to be elect-able. Not everyone thinks like the people at DU, believe it or not. The primary voters in 16 out of 18 states have chosen John Kerry. They used the democratic process and made their choice. A look at John Kerry's record will reveal many substantive differences with Bush. Now, you could go with Dennis Kucinich for even more differences, but regretably he cannot be elected. Little changes when you don't win elections.
