Democratic Candidates for '08 - Disqualified for Nomination

Any Democratic Senator who is running from Russ Feingold's call to censure President Bush should be disqualified from running for the nomination for President in 2008.

If they sound like war hawks when 70% of this country is sounding the drum loudly, that this Iraqi war is unwinnable, is another disqualifying factor.

If they left Jack Murtha hanging out to dry on his call for immediate withdrawal from Iraq, they should be disqualified.

Calling for a filibuster of Supreme Court Nominee Sam Alito from Davos, Switzerland, when you're not here to lead said filibuster, should disqualify you from the nomination.

And finally, if you said you would order a recount of the votes in Ohio, but take off for a ski vacation after you conceded the election over the objections of your own running mate, you shouldn't even think about running for President, and insulting the American People with your candidacy.

Of course, that's part of my take on this; you can read the rest of Stephen Crockett's piece here: http://www.buzzflash.com/....

Until the Democratic Senators aspiring to become the next President of the United States become real, oppositioned, principaled, fighting Democrats that we can admire and respect, they don't qualify to run for the Democratic Nomination, period.
