Reply #10: This is only time "electability" in the general is not an issue. Why keep saying it? [View All]

In Mo, several months before the election the democratic candidate suddenly dies in a plane crash...he was running against John Ashcroft. On election day the dead guy won overwhelmingly.

My point is that after Bush and with the present list of GOP yahoo jokes running for president, which ever Democrat who wins the nomination will be the next president. Even a dead guy because Bush's administration has been such a nightmare.
If Kucinich won the democratic nomination he would be the next president. It's infuriating that everyone keeps saying he's the best candidate but because of this "electability" lie they won't nominate him. Electability philosophy has lost the Dems several elections. Electability almost got us vice president Lieberman.
Dems need to just nominate the best candidate...period. Kucinich is the best candidate, imitated by the others, and always way ahead on the issues. There would be no better ticket than Kucinich/Edwards '08...the truth ticket.

It would be a real shame to pass over the best candidate for some political lie like "electability". Especially since it's not even an issue in this presidential election, where barring self destruction, whichever Democratic candidate we nominate will win the presidency. Why can't these "insightful" reporters see this. This is the safest presidential election for democrats in modern history. Isn't it time we get the best candidate for the job. After Bush...we deserve Kucinich.

Kucinich/Edwards '08... the truth ticket.
