Our candidates don't have to be president to make a difference
I was watching a program about the Kennedy's and at the end of the show it said the one Kennedy who had the most impact on the country by far was not John or Robert but Teddy. All those years in the Senate and all the bills he sponsored and worked his ass off to get through most certainly touched more lives and did the country more good than anything John did in his short time in office. Hell, look at Al Gore! He has never been president and has made more positive impacts on the world, out of office then he ever did as VP.

We want our candidates to be president because we think the can do the most good there but in many, many cases that isn't always true.

1. Agree I would like to see Edwards start a national citizens union should he
end his campaign.

2. They've already made a difference
John has reminded us it's OK to fight (we lost track of that with the Gore and Kerry runs)

Barak and Hillary already have broken down the walls to the white mens club.

Bravo for all three
