46. I think both the 2004 and the 1988 roster of candidates were stronger than this field.
of course the arguments here would be abstruse, academic, and subjective. But I don't for a second think the Democrats are running their "A Team" this cycle. I look at the stage and feel like something is missing--a feeling I did not get when there was a Dean, a Kerry, and a Clark in the race.
