6. Kucinich.
He's actually leftist, instead of pretending to be. And he wants single-payer, universal healthcare, which will save millions of lives here.

8. Kucinich
he's the only real Democrat running

Edwards, among the top tier

the rest are various flavors of corporatist representatives of the oligarchy

and he has a great platform and strategy with which to make it happen

13. Any Democrat Who Runs Will Win, So Its Our Choice
In my view:

Kucinich is clearly the most ethical, there is absolutely no question what so ever about that.

Clark is the smartest.

Richardson, an incredibly experienced and competent man, would bring the most new votes to the Party and they would probably become lifetime Democrats.

Edwards ... I just don't know what to say. I think he just might have it in him to be one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen, but at the same time he might fail because of being too focused on a small segment of the job.

Hillary could win but she wouldn't bring anything new to the national landscape and would invite the continuation of America's political divide.

Obama ... I just don't know what to say because he has so little relevant experience, but I'd like to see him give it a try again in 8 or 16 years once he does.

Gore has it all.

Others, who cares?

16. I'd Say John Edwards Hands Down. Hillary And Obama, Though Good, Probably Couldn't Do As Good.

19. None inspire me deep down
None seem to have the true wisdom needed to fix the mess we are in. Not they are bad, just that we are in a very, very bad place right now and we need a truly spectacular leader to bring our country back from the brink.

If I had to choose from just them,it would have to be Edwards or maybe Hillary.
