126. My goal is winning elections for Democrats from the courthouse to the White House.
That's why my first choice was John Edwards.

That's why my second choice is Barack Obama.

That's why I am certain I don't want Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket, because I've had to deal with the carnage to the House, the Senate, and the State Houses when we get dragged down by a candidate who can't even deliver the Democratic side of the ledger, muchless anyone in the middle.

John and Barack would both be decent candidates in that regard. Better than Kerry or Gore were.

Hillary will be down in Walter Mondale and Mike Dukakis territory, except she will likely cost us even more down ballot carnage.

These are not unusual thoughts, as they are shared by many Democrats who know the party and its successes will be set back years if Hillary gets the nomination.
