As a former Deaniac, now uncommitted, I'm having trouble getting excited about any of the other candidates. If we can't have Dean, then should we consider another option? More candidates?
Who would you like to see enter the race?
My personal criteria is it would have to be a candidate that would generate immediate excitement, could generate lots of money, and would be strong in late primaries. And most important, could kick Bush's ass!
Don't hate me, <g> but has Diane Feinstein crossed anyone else's mind?
She's female (excitement)
She's jewish (think florida and new york)
She's rich! (think self financing early on)
She's Californian (think easy victory in both Primary and General Election
She's moderate on guns (she carries a pistol in her purse)
She's progressive (very gay friendly...yes I know SF...not by SF standards)
She's strong on defense (yes, she voted for war, but so did the other likely nominees)
She has strong business connections (think husband, yes I know many of you hate that)
She's not Kerry.
