Omaha Steve rates the candidates or who pissed in the Democrats pool?

Make no mistake about it. Up until late June I was a Gore backer. I finally realized he is not going to run in 08. I decided on Edwards for several reasons. Race or sex of the candidate never entered my mind. I do want a candidate I feel can win. I think it is time we stop saying I hate candidate so and so. We have enough troubles in the Democratic camp already. Save your I can't stand him for the Republican candidates! We all have to unite after Denver next year. Don't say anything that might make that hard for all of us to do.

So here is my rating of the current candidates....

1 John Edwards.

A seven way oh so close tie in no particular order:

1.5 Joe Biden

1.5 Bill Richardson

1.5 Dennis Kucinich

1.5 Barack Obama

1.5 Chris Dodd

1.5 Hillary Clinton

1.5 Mike Gravel

4. Good for you
for writing such a positive post! I'm backing Kucinich, but I could live with Edwards as the top of the ticket.
