Forget Dean and Clark, then who do you like?
I know there are a lot of supporters of both of these candidates, but let's remove them from the equation. Of the remaining candidates, who do you like?

3. I like Dennis Kucinich, the heart of the Democratic party
As co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, he's right at the center of progressive populism in America today. He would be the best president of my lifetime certainly.

I like Sharpton too and Gephardt has always been there for labor.

10. Agree!
His message is different from all the rest.

sigh...

Wish I could live long enough to see a Kucinich presidency!

16. Kucinich
He was on fire at the Rock the Vote debate. His principles are closest to mine, but I fear he will be branded 'unelectable' because of his political views and, sad to say, the fact he's a vegan.

18. Another vote for DK
I actually like him a little better than Dean, although I think they are both outstanding candidates.

8. Edwards would be a great candidate with another term...
under his belt. The only criticism of him is that he is "inexperienced." Yet, he sure doesn't sound inexperienced. Too bad. He's one sharp cookie. I hope he gets a job in the new administration that will give him the proper credentials to try again in a few years. He's got what it takes.

6. Yeah, Yeah,
Okay, Edwards, Gephardt and Kerry sure. But remove them from the equation, along with Dean and Clark, and throw out Kucinich, Braun and Sharpton, because we know they can't win. Of the remaining candidates, who do you like?

11. Kerry
Good man, great DC experience, political strength. The others sound great but not sure how they could handle the hard job ahead.
Sharpton is a stand out. Too bad the color barrier is still alive.

He's become more outspoken and more relaxed. Too bad it is months too late...

20. Edwards and Kerry.
Clark, Edwards, and Kerry are great.
Dean is a little bit behind those three as far as my personal opinion is concerned.

24. Braun.
Kerry's a pompous buffoon, Edwards has shown his desperation, DK's a whiny biatch, Gephardt's a catchphrase, Sharpton's a funny sideshow, and Lieberman, well. Rascally ol' Holy Joe.

Later.

25. Kucinich is first...
Clark and Dean aren't in my top 5. So not sure if I qualify for this question Quinnox.

Dean used to be number one, then number 2, but after misspeaking, lying and gaffing he has worked his way down.

In fact, both still have work to do to convince me to vote for them if they are the nominee.

35. Like Edwards better, but would prob have to say Kerry because
he has more experience. I just don't think it's Edwards time yet. I do think he would make a good choice for VP.

37. Kerry.....
Remember it's all about kicking "Mr. Security President" himself. What did they say after 9/11....these are not ordinary times.....

So we need Foreign policy experience.....and military experience.

otherwise, I'd go for cutie Edwards, after Clark.
