Which Democratic candidate can restore honor and dignity to the White House?

3. That is a great "yard stick"
to use when making such a critical decision. I will use that example when talking/networking with the masses. :loveya:

7. Maybe Obama...... need a little more time and info to be sure.
Clark if he runs. I do not know alot about Vilsack(?) from Iowa.
Gore or Feingold would be my first choices.

Hillary.....no. Rubs me as a typical finger in the wind say anything to win professional politico.
Edward....eh . Seems to be missing something.

9. Any of them. I think Richardson would have the easiest time of repairing
the damage done to our worldwide reputation. He loves diplomacy, and he loves solving problems. A total 180 from Bush.

do a lot to restore honor and dignity to the White House. With George Walker Bush, we have hit bottom. There is nowhere to go but up.

13. Feingold or Gore
...are my personal favorites, but as people have been saying *anyone* would be better than the current crew.

Neither of them are running so...

Clinton is too middling and not principled enough. She (and everyone who bought it) ought to apologize to America for believing the lies and going along with Iraq. Still, I'd vote for her.

Obama and Edwards strike me as all charisma, no experience. Seriously, what kind of Presidents will they be? Still, I'd vote for them.

I guess I'd go with either Vilsack or Richardson, because I really like what they say and they seem to have the experience and gravitas. I was one of the few who really liked Kerry last time for those reasons.

16. Clark--but maybe we need a smart lawyer like Edwards
I'm too afraid Obama can be controlled by outside interests.

But Honor and integrity are what Clark is all about. Luv that man!

....to each their own reality...but from accurately observing history...from recent history throughout the eons...there is no such thing as honor and dignity in politics...just illusions of it from time to time...comparatively speaking.

19. Let's see - Bozo the Clown, Gene Simmons, the crazy money guy
on CNBC. Anyone (or thing) will be better than what's in the White House now.
