We had a Democrat primary today in Virginia, to try to find someone to oust the Republican Senator. I had a real dilemma. Hold my nose and vote for a guy everyone says has a better shot against the incumbent, or vote for a guy who reflects my values, but supposedly doesn't have a shot. I voted for the latter.
The first "more electable" guy used to be a Republican, and even endorsed (in a previous election) the incumbent he hopes to run against now. The thinking is that he's more middle of the road, and is more palatable to swing/right wing voters. I think he's a waffler, just like Kerry was. I can just imaging the political ads.
I held my nose when I voted for Kerry. I don't want to do that again.
As for this bunch of characters up there. I have no idea. It's too soon to tell. There are several who I don't want to see run. I don't want Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Obama, or Dean. Warner was a very good governor. He would be excellent running the domestic side of things as President. Beats me how he would be on foreign policy.
