Reply #58: Eh, there a few good ones, most of the ticket is rather mediocre

I live in the same damn town as Holy Joe and most of us wouldn't wish his bland boring brand of corporatism on anyone--- besides, he's CT's number one Washington whore for the insurance industry, HMO's and weapons manufacturers.

My faves happen to be Sharpton and Kuicinich, as they align most with my issues.


However, I realize that most of the country does not share my views and neither of these guys have the kind of stuff it takes to take a hostile war zone like DC. Dennis would end up a poor man's Jimmy Carter, a well meaning dude who didn't do alot. And sharpton--- well, no matter how much I agree with him, the good reverend isn't going to win over too many voters, Black or White. But, they're both usually on the side of the angels and they have a fire in their belly.


The rest are kind of.......blah. Gephardt and Livingston don't excite. Kerry and Edwards seem to be in competition for who can do the best Bill Clinton impersonation. And is Carol Mossley-Braun on lithium-- she seems spaced out half the time she's in a debate. I like her politics (mostly) but she's like she's going through the motions.



Honestly, Howard Dean is the best out the bunch. Dean isn't great, good but not great. He's certainly left of Clinton/Gore, which will be an improvement over the current crowd of thugs we have now. Also, he's not one to take alot of shit. It will be helpful when Karl Rove and Dick Cheney through everything at him, including the kitchen sink.


Back to the Greens, Nader is even less appealing to most voters than Kucinich and Sharpton. He's also got an ego that deserves its own zip code and alot of ticks and quirks that Karl Rove could easily pick apart-- if Nader weren't such a mockery of self and his party actually had any real political capital to spend on residential race.
