Why I support three candidates

I favor three candidates, Kerry, Gephardt, and Edwards.

I support Kerry because he is outstanding on the environment, and is a true liberal who has a legitimate chance at beating Bush. He has a sonorous speaking style, and has the gravitas that people refer to as being "presidential". He is very intelligent, and has over 20 years of experience in formulating policy. He would make a great president.

I support Gephardt because of his old fashioned Democrat programs, especially his health care proposals. He has been a good friend of labor for many years, and is also well experienced to handle national issues. He has appeal in crucial midwestern states, where elections can be won and lost. He is running with great passion, and is determined to win the nomination, and then prevail over Bush. This kind of passion should not be underestimated.

I support Edwards because he has fresh, innovative ideas, and has a potent message of wealth vs. work that would be devastating to Bush's election strategy, in my view. He also has some good liberal ideas, but also has appeal to centrists and swing voters. An important factor is his southern region, as we all know candidates from the south have done better and have a better chance of winning the presidency.

As you can see, my most important criteria is the ability to win, I think this should be the most important factor in this dire situation of Bush being president. It is essential to win this election in 2004, and any of these three would be a vast improvement over the junior tyrant in the White House.

we've got some great candidates....

Go Dems!

With Kerry and Kucinich on top.

Do you seriously think any of Kerry, Gephardt, or Edwards has a better chance than a Dean/Clark ticket?

If they do, why's the Pubbie spin machine trashing Dean and Clark so relentlessly?

Theorem: Whom the Pubbie Spin Machine trashes, they fear.

Unless Clark gets over Dean calling him a Republican, consistently.

Because your credibility has been shot to hell by your ceaseless snarkiness.

and what does this do to YOUR credibility?

posted one nasty comment about any candidate. I have defended all of them. I am really fed up with a small number of people who have endlessly posted divisive crap. I don't need to worry about my credibility.

any candidates that's just what you're reading into it.

I find you to be one of the more likeable Dean supporters.

obviously well thought, I agree!
