181. Sorry - not going to get one
Obama ain't one, Edwards ain't one. Kucininch is closest, but has bugger all chance in the primaries. Whether that's fair, media-driven or due to the machinations of the super secret DLC corporatist Illuminati is irrelevant - because it is, above all, true.

So when you have a choice between a DLC non uber-progressive "corporatist" Dem and a knuckle-dragging theocratic world domination neocon loon (which mark my words WILL be your choice - whether that Dem is HRC or not) now who do you want?

Again rant and rail all the way home that this is the Dem leadership ignoring the base. or anointment by corporate owned media, or the fault of a ridiculous electoral system that makes third parties or conscience-votes doomed. Heck I might even agree with some of it. Doesn't stop the absolute, uncontrovertible and guaranteed lock that that will be your choice for president. We get to pick from two. One will be center left. One will be right to far right. Give me IRV or proportional representation and I'd be happy to discuss other options, but we ain't got them this year or this decade or probably even this century.
