Richardson is off my short-list.

[calteacherguy]

I just watched his horrible interview on MTP...at least the part on immigration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n-gpLhQNYM It was terrible. First he says he's for a bill, then 72 hours later he says he's against it. If he can't take a strong stand on illegal immigration, he's not qualified to be President. The idea that illegal immigrants should have driver's licenses and be eligible for scholarships is nuts. He's shown very poor judgment, and I'm very dissapointed. I was actually considering donating to his campaign. I won't, and I will never vote for him.

There is never going to be a President Richardson.

There is never going to be a President Biden, Gravel, or Kucinich, either.

So, of the current field, only Obama, Clinton, and Edwards have a chance. I'm hoping Obama continues to grow...I think he's the best of the bunch.

1. Well... after the debate next week, you may be able to narrow it some more..

We need to have a virtual debate party! ~~~

[illinoisprogressive]

2. so do i. definitely the best of the field

[Double T]

3. Don't count Gore out of the race. Richardson got scratched off the list after his abomination.......

of an interview with russert last Sunday morning.

[calteacherguy]

4. That is the interview I just watched part of...don't need to see any more.

Gore isn't running.

[Double T]

7. ...............yet!

[Donnachaidh]

5. Obama lost me with his aid to health insurance companies

That was a BIG boo-boo on his part. Too many people already pay dearly for what little health *benefits* they have. Pushing anything other than a single-payer program is political suicide.

[calteacherguy]

9. Which of the current candidates are proposing a single-payer plan? nt

[Donnachaidh]

11. as far as I know, none of them are

But when you present yourself as the *candidate of CHANGE* and then present the "same old same old" you lose votes from anyone paying attention.

[GreenArrow]

17. Kucinich is

.

[Captain Hilts]

10. That was the problem with HRC's health plan too. It must be tough to write those bastards out of

the equation.

[Donnachaidh]

13. My vote will go to the one who WILL stand up to those bastards

This is the number one issue for me.

[Captain Hilts]

15. I agree, I can't get health ins. because I'm unemployed. nt

[Colobo]

20. Well, only Kucinich and he has no chance.

[Captain Hilts]

22. Right, such are the hazards of moral purity. Shame. nt

[ElizabethDC]

6. Well, I haven't watched the interview yet

but I was really disappointed in his performance at the last debate - that definitely bumped him down a few spots in my ranking of the candidates.

[Double T]

8. Watch the interview with russert; it was pathetic.

[femmocrat]

12. I wonder if he can bounce back.... but I doubt it.

I always considered him more of a vice pres. candidate anyhow.

I got so tired of hearing him say, "I made a mistake." Not Ready for Prime Time, IMO.

[Bullet1987]

14. I didn't think the interview was THAT bad

or that Russert "layed it on him," but that's just me (I only saw the immigration part above).

[johncoby2]

16. Took you this long?

[Wwagsthedog]

18. Maybe you're right.

Maybe I'm wrong but I won't be disappointed by hopscotching around from front runner to front runner.

[StudentsMustUniteNow]

19. I can't understand the appeal in Richardson

His economic policy is neoliberal through and through. He just puts a smiley warm face on it.

[LittleClarkie]

21. Oh great swami,

which numbers should I play in the lottery this week?
