...to NOT nominate candidates with ZERO charisma. :rolleyes:
*sigh* Things woulda been so much better if it was Dean.
As we've seen on election night, the brightest best hope is Barack Obama for the party. He's pretty liberal (at least, liberal enough for my tastes) and he's managed to get a BROAD base behind him in Illinois (winning nearly 80% of the vote, even getting white rural conservative IL behind him, etc.).
I would love to see this translate onto a national level. If the party can do as a whole what Barack is doing in his state, the Dems would be handing the Repubs their asses time and again. The guy has brilliant ideas, is beaming with charisma and DAMN his speech at the DNC was the most brilliant political moment in American political history since... well, a long time certainly.
In these times of America going more and more GOP, Illinois (traditionally very Republican) is sure shifting to be all-Democrat these days (large part due to the fact that IL's GOP is very pathetic). That's one glimmer of hope in a sea of PURE shit.
So in closing, OBAMA IN '08!!!!!!! (y)
