As much as Dennis is a good guy, "irrelevant left" is EXACTLY the right phrase, since he represents a lot of ideas that are never going to get traction. Gravel: good guy but not a victor. Dodd--who?

The more time can be spent with the heavyweight candidates, the better we are when it comes time to choose between them. Frankly, I personally would probably add Richardson to the list of people who aught to take a powder soon. I get what he's saying, but he doesn't really come off as having the ability to express it simply, and leans rather heavily on his having been a governor as an argument for himself.
