The motivation to keep Gonzales around must weigh heavily on the minds of Bush, Cheney and other neo-cons. It surely is weighing on the minds of Senate Republicans.

A friend of mine asked me about the pro-choice presidential candidates. She absolutely refuses to vote for someone who is in the pro-life camp. It sounds like she always wants some hard info on pro-choice Dem candidates ?

Any relevant links would be appreciated. I don't trust the candidates' websites and its been a long day of driving. So, I'm too wiped out to investigate this myself.

Most of the hot button issues like Iraq, global warming, national health insurance, minimum wage, abortion. They are not in this poll.

EDIT: a few people quickly pointed out the missing issue of "civil rights / civil liberties". I suggest voting for that issue under the "ethics in Washington" if civil rights is your issue. Thx all.

EDIT #2: Regarding Iraq. I've got friends who have survived Iraq in the past year. I've got friends in the Middle East. One was a medic. Another was an MP. Another is a Marine captain. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it, even if I wasn't reading the news. I thought I would leave foreign policy and military issues out of the poll.

EDIT #3: Regarding health care: it's such an important issue that I guessed its on the minds of a great many Kossacks. I'm looking at 2nd tier issues with this poll.

Thanks to all for participating.

Suppose these were the major candidates still left standing by the time the primaries began: Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama or Bill Richardson. These candidates are my guess as the ones with the staying power. (No offense to Tom Vilsack, Mike Gravel, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich or Wes Clark. Biden, you're in my doghouse. )

I'd like to know who your least favorite of these is.

The Politico quotes Al Gore's former campaign manager

Donna Brazile, who was Gore's campaign manager in 2000, strongly hinted at a recent speaking engagement that Gore could make a "dramatic entrance into the 2008 presidential race" at the Academy Awards next month. "Wait till Oscar night," she told a small audience at Moravian College in Pennsylvania.

Drama at Oscar night ! Redundant ? Not this time. Al Gore will outshine the entire Academy Awards. Thunderous standing ovations at the show. Whooping and hollering at home.

Al Gore stands as the best possible president for 2008. The most experience at the highest levels of government. The most respect among world leaders. A very high level of integrity and honesty. A great amount of tact and humility. Respect for science. All of the other candidates fall behind in at least 3 of these 5 criteria.

I'd like to see either an Al Gore / Bill Richardson ticket or Al Gore / Russ Feingold ticket.
