Black candidates draw black votes, just as latino candidates draw latino votes and white candidates draw white votes. Its historically true. People vote for those they can identify with. Ask anyone who follows politics.

It got a admitted crack addict re-elected in DC, so I think Al Sharpton has a chance to draw the black vote.

I used to live in Massachusetts before I moved to Maryland, so John Kerry was my Senator. I rather liked him. He's a moderate, socially progressive but economically conservative. My kind of politician in other words. Plus he's well-spoken, smart and has a great service record in Vietnam. You may say that his military experience doesn't matter much, but it matters something to a Vietnamese person.

Plus there's a picture of him standing with my grandmother.

Between him and Bush, I'm not sure who I would vote for. I think I would vote for John Kerry. I don't think Bush was a terrible president, but I think we can do better.

I don't take any of the other Democratic candidates seriously.

Right now, I would probably vote for Howard Dean. Most of his views and whatnot are either close or what I believe in. Plus, I love when people are outspoken. Too quiet is stupid

Two people have absolutely no shot. Lieberman, because he's Jewish; Sharpton, because he's black.

Hopefully Sharpton could get out there and get more exposure because he almost always brings up stuff that no one wants to talk about.

After reading your post John Kerry sounds like my type of guy too. I'm all for social programs as long as the money is watched closely and doesn't end up in the pockets of those it was never intended (see California).

Your post intrigues me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter...

As for Howard Dean... why not just dig up Karl Marx and run him for office? No chance. Way too liberal.
