Reply #32: Run, Al, run!

I have to agree with almost everything you said in the OP. Most of the field are lightweights or have too much baggage. We need a charismatic Dem who is can command the national stage, and as far as I can see, there's only ONE of those: Al Gore. Honestly, I can't get very excited about any of the others. Hillary would be the odds-on favorite to get the nomination but I can't get excited about her. And I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Dem. She is very polarizing. I'd vote for her before sitting home or (shudder) voting R (that's NEVER going to happen), but work for her? No thanks. I personally like Clark a LOT, but I don't think he has a great chance of winning. And right now, winning is EVERYTHING.

There IS one Dem I can get excited about. C'mon Al, RUN DAMMIT!!

I should add that Kerry broke my heart last time, and I won't make that mistake again. Al is the rightful Prez NOW. And I think he's found his voice AND his backbone.
