Democrats should choose the most boring and least-controversial candidate
Advertisements [?]
Why? Because then the right-wingers could not criticize him and that would give us the opportunity to pick up all those votes in the "middle". Besides, it is the Congress that passes the laws. So long as the President can hold a pen and sign his name, what more do we need? If we can get a President that is not controversial but is willing to sign whatever legislation is passed by a new Democratic Congress, why would you want someone else? Aren't oratory and passion and the ability to communicate with the people vastly over-rated anyway? What say we find the candidate that is the most boring and the least threatening to the right-wing? We can even pretend he is a Republican - so long as he signs our legislation. Wouldn't that be the smartest political move? :sarcasm:
