Ill preface this by saying that I'm certainly as liberal as the next guy, as a volvo-driving, ivyleague educated, northeast vegetarian who worked for Dean during the primaries in New Hampshire and then later for ACT.
With that being said...why not Mike Easley (Gov. of NC) in 2008? Sure, hes so moderate (at best) that he makes Evan Bayh look liberal...but i think he has what it takes to win the election. Hes pro-choice, and unapologetic about it. Seems like hes real good at balancing the budget, providing jobs, and education.
How would an Mike Easley/John Lewis (or Feingold, or Bayh, or Sebelius/Napolitano) ticket sound?
