Hey, we didn't know how bad Bush would be until after 9/11
Well, at least Bush lost the 2000 elections, so it's all right. The problem is that you gave him a clear victory after Sept 11 and the Iraq war...

Gore wasn't great, but he wasn't a complete loser.

Oh yes he is.

Did too. But no one would listen to me.
The majority was with you in 2000. OTOH, the majority was against you in 2004, as the American people supported 4 more years

As far as resume goes, the strongest candidate (in either field) is NM Guv Bill Richardson (former Congressman, UN Ambassador, and Secretary of Energy),
Clintons Sec of Energy, vs Clintons co-President - which is the stronger resume?

Gore in 2000 (not the later Gore) was still running as DLC thirdwayer with a hawkish rep on national security, and with Joe Lieberman as Veep candidate.

Obama strikes me as mostly style and little substance.
My favorite candidate so far is definitely Tom Vilsack. He was hilarious when he was on the Daily Show. Generally politicians look overeager and unfunny when they're guests on the Daily Show, but Vilsack was able to make good jokes and speak well without looking like he was trying too hard.
Vile Sack has no chance in hell in getting the nomination.

Hmmm... Obama may be a bad choice for the Dems to put up in a general election. He will do incredibily well in the traditional democratic strongholds... easily winning most of the black vote, and the big liberal cities... but that's not where the dems have been losing elections. They need to win some of the battle field states, and race may become an issue there.
Obama's a populist and isn't scared to do things the party base won't like (the base got all pissed when he talked to a bunch a evangelicals a while back, the idiots on DU were bashing him as the spawn of Satan because of it.

It killed the Edwards run just fine.
Edwards had significantly less charisma than Obama. His main selling point was that he looked like one of the Beach Boys. In the debate with Cheney, he parroted empty phrases almost as badly as Bush did in his debate with Kerry. I took one look at his campaign website and pegged him for solid veep material, but nothing better, months before he settled for the nomination.

Yeah, but she'd probably be a better President than Buchanan was .
I dunno. Buchanan's big fault was that he spent four years refusing to acknowledge the obvious -- that a civil war was looming -- and act accordingly. Condi, like the rest of the Bushies, has already got that one under her belt.
