Or maybe what makes a good candidate? I don't DISLIKE a one. I like, however, fewer.
Since I don't want to make this about whom I might support-- one caviat, Gravell is right out in the primaries, for me, not necessarily for you-- what are the specific (I repeat SPECIFIC) characteristics you like or admire? LEt me give it a start...
Richardson: DEEP executive and international experience
Kucinich: He cares, he really does. Others may play lipservice, but Dennis is SERIOUS.
Chris Dodd....he has experience? Wish I could say more, but he hasn't cranked my tractor yet.
Hillary: Wife of the Big Dog. I Love the Big Dog, and wish he could run again. Hillary's almost the Big Dog. (God, don't you mis his speeches?they were ARTICULATE!)
Barak Obama: Hmmm. so much I can say... and someone else kind of sole it in another diary.. shades of Bobby.
Joe (adlade) Biden: Good for corporate America, but still sincere when it doesn't affect Chase.
John Edwards: would love the Bobby laurel, but has done as much as Bobby, and also sounds like Harry S on occasion...
any of them good, whty do you like the candidate you like? let's please avoid damning with faint praise, I did enough of that...
