How likely do you think it is possible that if one of the really
electable Democratic canidates wins the nom, he/she dies in a plane crash?

1. Please......
don't give that thought any power! Just visualize a democratic president being sworn in in January, 2005.

3. When I heard about Wellstone.....
for about an hour I completely freaked out. I called everyone I could think of. I can't quite describe that feeling, but I NEVER want to feel like that again.

4. You're not alone!
I feel that way too. I know it will probably never be conclusively proven, but I firmly believe in my heart that Wellstone's crash was no accident and I will always believe that.

5. Have you heard the expression.....
"I know it in my bones." That is how certain I am the Wellstone crash was not an accident. I just know...and I don't care how crazy people say I am.

7. I agree
There are too many suspicious circumstances surrounding it. The sickest part was that Coleman posed smiling on a plane just like the one Wellstone was flying in less than a week after Wellstone's death.

6. I've been really worried about that
There is at least one candidate who is a lot like Bobby Kennedy and we need to do whatever it takes to keep him safe and get him into the White House.

9. It depends.
On your definition of "really electable." If you mean one of the current "leaders," I'd say not likely. They aren't that far from the powers that be, idealogically. IMHO.

Now, if you mean a progressive people's candidate with fire in his eye and plans to transform "business as usual," perhaps it becomes more possible.
