Step out of character. Tell us what's wrong with YOUR fav candidate.

[jarab]

It seems the norm to tear the other Dem candidates down in order to have the "last man standing".

I would say most DUers have a potential 08 candidate (or three) that they're adamantly vouching (for), or silently hoping for the best. That's OK, imo.

Let's be real! All candidates have actual or perceived shortcomings, some more obvious than others. Tell us the weaknesses - real or perceived - that might encumber YOUR favorite .... without mentioning the other guys or gals who might ultimately oppose your choice.

Rhetorically, IF he be your choice, is DK too close to the left precipice or handicapped by his physical stature? IF your choice, is JK the elitist that will hamper him nationally? IF your choice, is HRC the real or perceived carperbagger or fence straddler to not be the "perfect" candidate? Or being female?
IF your choice, is BHO handicapped by his middle name, race, or his limited national legislative experience?
Edwards, Vilsack, Clark, and the rest?

Perhaps stepping out of your DU character, might you honestly tell us - however painful - what the damaging or possibly disqualifying flaws or genuine concerns are for YOUR choice for 08 without trying to demolish all the other "pretenders" .... goal being to have yours become the "last man standing" on DU.

"My candidate, x, is perfect!" is laughably not a good response.
To thine own self be true.

As for me, I'm just listening to you guys. I simply want to claim last man or woman standing in "November 08".

...O...
