Let us know why.

Try to change it up a bit, though- don't say the same name over and over just because it's the truth (take a look at who others have said), or this'll get locked as some kind of "flamebait" or something.

1. Hey, Bull...
This just might BE flamebait.

But I'll bite.

Personally, I think it's the "no set position," status-quo, pro-corporate, saber-rattling, mostly-enigmatic candidate. Whoever THAT might be.

2. It's only flamebait if there's an obvious answer that people are just as

obviously concluding themselves to.

I'd like to see peoples' answers before I start calling it flamebait. Only if it's TRUE.

3. I named no names...
I just wonder who people will assume I mean.

Yes, I can be evil sometimes. But only slightly.

4. I didn't either. No one has been named.
Yet the answer is quite clear.

5. I think the Democratic Party has offered a great field this time around.
Infinitely better than what the other side is offering.

I don't know why there seems to be an urge here to drag people down. I hope that when the time comes we'll be able to get behind whoever the nominee is.

6. Possibly Obama
Through no fault of his own - but the Media and Repubs have been delighted in setting him up as an alternative to the establishment candidates, I think because they see him as an easy target to tear down later (lack of experience, his scary middle name, etc).

With a few more years in the Senate, and a significant law of some sort with his name on it, he'd be a much stronger candidate.

However, he is absolutely refreshing to have involved in the primary process to challenge the more establishment candidates, he has more eloquence in his little finger than George W Bush has in his whole body, and he hasn't been afraid to put out some good ideas (even the ones that the "establishment" has attacked him on, such as talking to rogue states). And I think an inanimate iron rod looks better than any candidate running from the Republican side - it says a lot that a second rate actor can come into the race and take up second place behind a man who has had more wives than most people have suits . . . in the so called family values party.
