8. Biden and Clinton are the only ones capable of doing this
the others just don't know how to do it or don't have the temperament or huevos

16. Clinton? Hillary Clinton?
GEORGE Clinton, maybe. Hillary will run her campaign if she gets the nom trying to look the same as the R candidate. It's the tried and "centrist appeal" approach that Kerry used. Worked so well for him.

5. Just what it says
POLITICAL war. Being on the attack, instead of the defense. No charge left unanswered, immediately. Hit them on every issue. Hard, then harder. Make as few mistakes as possible. Conduct the campaign relentlessly, work harder than you ever have in your life and beat them at the ballot box into a fucking pulp.

6. You're right, I really had to think to make a decision between Hillary
and Biden. Both would do very well, but I think Hillary would do better. She sure has had a lot of past experiences with being attacked, and has learned from mistakes that were made!

12. I disagree
the republicans Want Hillary as their oposition. Biden would Take them to the woodshed much
better/faster than Hillary.

7. Maybe I am misinterpreting the question
but Hillary has done nothing to make me think she would wage total political war on the Republicans. She has not distinguished herself by standing up to them thus far. In my humble opinion, she will want to stay as middle of the road as possible to draw votes from both sides.

20. Both candidates in the General will stay to the middle! The
whole intent in a general is to take as many votes from your opposition to WIN!

10. Much will depend on the corporate media.
Unless things change, it will be an up hill battle for the Dem. candidate. Very difficult to get a message out if the media ignores you.

14. Clinton and it isn't close. Edwards? How'd that work in 2004?
Remember his gee-shucks debate with Cheney?

15. Edwards
I think it would be Edwards. He has already made it clear that he is going after the rich and the big corporations. Hillary seems to be favoring them. (the insurance companies for sure) Obama, well I haven't heard too much from him that would make me believe that he would go after the repugnants. Edwards has made it clear that he would. (healthcare, taxes, loopholes, education)
