democratic candidates

[Optimist Prime]

Who are they??

[pinkyphimu]

for what?

[The1calledTKE]

Well the front runners are Kerry of Mass and Edwards of NC

[Optimist Prime]

wasn't that Dean guy one of them?

[bethany1982]

Yes, Howard Dean, the former Gov. of Vermont is running.

[Optimist Prime]

I want a candidate that is Liberal and says "I'm Liberal" not one that says "this might sound Liberal, but..."

[bethany1982]

That will be hard to come by... Dems win the white house by not sounding liberal. If you want a real liberal, perhaps you should consider Carol Moseley Braun or Al Sharpton. Neither has a chance, but they don’t try to cover their liberal ideology. You have plenty of liberals to pick from... Biden, Kerry, Gephardt, Edwards... all qualify if you look at their records. You have to play the game if you want to win.

Let's not forget Bob Graham.

[bethany1982]

Ah yes, Bob Graham, Senator and former FL Gov.

AND....

Gary Heart... LOL... Former Senator from CO.

Wesley Clark, retired Army General.

Dennis Kucinich, Congressman from OH.

Joseph Lieberman, Senator from CT.

I think that rounds out the list of serious candidates. We won't mention the 30 plus other Dems. who have declared.

[RedHotChiO]

Senator Carol Moseley Braun

Richard Gephardt

Reverend Al Sharpton

and there are others that I don't remember.

Don't forget nor underestimate Hillary Rodham Clinton... she hasn't declared an intent to run, but don't count her out.

[bethany1982]

There are currently 12 major Dems. who have announced their intentions to run for Presidnet. Senator Carol Moseley Braun, Richard Gephardt, Reverend Al Sharpton have all been mentioned. Senator Clinton has repeatedly said that she would not run, but she also said that about the U.S. Senate. At this point, it would be wise for her to wait one more round before running. This whole upcoming election should be fun.

[RedHotChiO]

I'm working up in DC now, and I can almost confirm that this is not true.

Saying one thing while doing another is natural to the Clintons

[bethany1982]

Perhaps Senator Clinton could use a good working definition of the word "run."
