President vs. Candidate?
Is there a difference between who you would like to be the candidate to face Bush the lesser and who you would like to be president?
I think there is for me. I'd like Dean or Sharpton to be the candidate, but Kerry or Graham to be the president...
So, question is is there a difference between who you would like to see be the face of the Dems to the world and who you would like to be in control of the country?

1. Yes, I think that there is, and isn't that a pisser?
it kind of breaks the old ticker sometimes. But beating Bush is a cause I have to give up a lot for.

5. Dean is my candidate. Maybe Clinton is my candidate
President? In a way, I'd rather not think about it.

3. Yes, Sharpton would be a great Dem leader but not pres.
He has little experience governing, especially the "superpower" of the world. But he is a great speaker on the liberal/progressive ideals.

Kerry I think would do the best job as president, but he really hasn't shown too much to excite me that he's a democrat.

4. Yup, same here
I'd like a hot-headed leader who will say what needs to be said, but a cool headed president who will be diplomatic.

8. No
Dean. Dean.

All the rest should stay where they are--and the ones who voted for the war and the patriot act and the tax packages can consider it a gift.
