Like many of you here, I have spent the last week looking for answers. What kind of candidate does it take to win? Who can we look to in the future? Who embodies our message? Who inspires us? Who can lead us for the next four years? Who can organize? Who can raise money? Who can win back a House seat? A Senate seat? The White House?
I started keeping a list of names. These are people whose names I've seen posted and would like to learn more about, people I think may be the answer to some of our questions and people who are definately not the answer to our questions.
I am sure there is more to add, but one thing strikes me. There are no women on my list. Ok, Donna Bazile and Hilary Clinton, but they seem to fall into the "not the answer" category. Are they any women up and coming in our party?
Go below the fold for my list.

Harold E. Ford, Jr.
