I really try not to read much about the Democratic Presidential contenders, but it really seems to me that there is very little difference between Obama, Hillary, and John Edwards. Obama seems to be the most likable of the bunch, but Hillary and Edwards simply give me the creeps. Feel free to blast away and/or defend your favorite Dem contenders (such opportunity requested by Jose Kinusee).

From NLS – the Hillary Nutcracker!

LI,
OK; let me start off by saying that I’m an impatient Republican. Impatient in the since that the GOP has had their chances to get their act together.
Secondly, I am a realist and believe that the momentum definitely points in the direction of Hillary. So what’s the BFD. Well, we deserve her because:
1) we kept Newt around too long (satirically speaking)
2) we’ve become arrogant with our responsibilities in running our country
3) we’ve elected single issue candidates dealing in short sightedness–we haven’t elected candidates that have a broad appeal
4) and lastly, we’ve been too obvious in placating special interests. Yea, all administrations do, but the GOP has been grotesquely blatant–ie, Halliburton.
Finally, your point that the three musketeers are the same is not correct in my opinion. They all offer something different.
I met Obama at a fundraiser last summer. He is extremely intelligent and likeable and does have the rock star presence. But he is youthful, and Hillary will beat him with the preception that she has more experience.
Hillary is a two for one deal. You get her and her clothes staining husband. Bill has extremely high likeability and you’ve got to give it to him, he did leave us with a budget surplus.
Edwards is a doof. So he made a few bucks as a trial lawyer and now he wants to be president. He is such a phony (much like Romney was protrayed in New Hamphire’s Concord Monitor today).
This is my take; just like our trips to the dentist, let’s just settle back and try to endure the pain of the next 4-5 years with Hillary and Bill for we only have ourselves to blame.
I have to agree with your four points. The GOP only has itself to blame for the mess it is in. Nearly all of its problems are self inflicted wounds. That said, I’ll still take any of the GOP Presidential contenders over any of the Dems any day.
LI,
Yes, I’ll take any of the GOP prez contenders as well–but like I said, I’m being a realist. I also tend to take a visceral approach–so, you learned types may find distain in my conjectures.
Guiliani has the best chance of beating Hillary only because he has the broadest appeal and he gives the impression that he will not take any s**t from anyone. He proved that in taking on the Mafia.
The next in line is McCain. He deserves being prez the most and has the record of achievement to prove it. Also, he has my respect for hangin in there as a POW. My only concern is with his health–he looks like death warmed over.
Johnny come lately, Fred Thompson seems way to stiff, but has many positives that appeal to both conservatives and moderates. But, there’s the air about him that says ‘I really don’t want to be president, I’m just doing this for my trophy wife’.
Next up is Romney. I find his ’slicky boy’ image as a negative–he’s too well groomed and mannered and he’ll say anything to anybody. Can’t stand him–he’s too arrogant and the social conservatives can’t rally behind him because of. . . .
Huckabee. He is however, a flash in the pan and his candle will burn out–because the GOP needs someone with broad appeal. The Pat Robertsons of the world will say that Huckabee is just right and that he is the only candidate to beat Hillary. . .nonsense. The GOP will need to move to the center to win in the future and Huckabee is a move to the far right.
The remaining candidates are jokes.
You should read the southern avenger out of Charleston Sc
He is so far right he hates the leading republican candidates for being to centrist, and he does it by not being a religious person. Plus he lumps hillary with the mitts and rudys as being ideological twins with them.
So where is the choice?
I wish i knew
I don’t like any of them on either side.
They all either had a hand in making the mess we’re in, stood by quietly making deals while the mess was made, or haven’t got the knowledge and experience necessary to start to clean it up.
We need something other than a bunch of triangulating speechifying dufus hypocrites. McCain lost me when he hugged the guy what slapped him with a black baby story, Hillary and Rudy are just plain scary and way too connected, Huckabee talks before he thinks, and Edwards and Obama couldn’t find their way around DC with a guide dog. As for Romney, he seems to have no discernable political integrity at all.
Where is a real candidate, please.
Questionable source (The National Enquirer) but there may be something to the Edwards love child story:

First off… Newt hasn’t been around ENOUGH. How do you define intelligence? Newt exudes it. It follows him around and waffs off onto others in his presence.
Secondly, EVERY TIME Bill opens his mouth, Hillary’s poll #’s go down. Please explain.
It’s not that we do not agree on a good many subjects that actually only happen to the County, but when we get to the Country, I’ll defend the runners. Like you, however, I cannot defend the incumbents. They’ve had a lot of time to affect some change, and they spent and spent some more without the first thing that we can actually list as something we, as a country, recieved for that spending.
But the dems will just spend on different stuff. “When Mr. A and Mr. B get together to spend Mr. C’s taxation, fraud will result.” Somethings got to give, and I think the time for a true and dedicated independent bridge between the two established parties would actually prosper now more than it did in 88.
Obama wins Iowa. In November, it will be President Barack Hussein Obama. Get over it.
