29. While your observations may have been true
before Bush, they haven't been true during the Bush administration. The country has been turned decidedly right, in just a few years. I'm sorry but I don't see Clinton as the savior, she alienates too many people. Obama, he's just not ready. He took advantage of his popularity from the dem convention and turned into a run for the White House. I think this is more of an exercise for him, and if he lucks into the Presidency, well great. He just needs a few more years of experience.

Edwards, Biden, Dodd would all make good Presidents, and who knows what will happen. While Kucinich is a love, he wouldn't get elected, too many hippie type ideas. I think even being a Vegan would work against him. Gravel, doesn't have a chance in hell, he seems more like comic relief.

And if you are looking for a pragmatist, that's me. I've looked at every angle of this election and I don't think Clinton can get elected. Too many people hate her, or her husband. Polls are wonderful things, they can say anything, if you ask the question in a certain way. There are only 3 candidates that will not keep this country divided and that is Biden, Edwards and Dodd. While I am an Edwards supporter, I would not have a problem with voting for Biden or Dodd.
