84. I want the Democratic nominee to be......

Sat Mar 21, 2015, 07:07 PM

Mar 2015

Someone who will win decisively against the "best (in their eyes)" Republican candidate they put up.

I still wish it would be Howard Dean, even though he said flat out to forget it. I could live with any of the others "under discussion," even though most of said discussion is being done by people other than the supposed candidates. There is one name Howard mentioned to me that hasn't even shown up in this thread. Good. I'm cool with letting a hundred flowers bloom.

The Democratic nomination is anything BUT a foregone conclusion at this point, which I think is a good thing. Acting as if it were is probably not constructive. I want to see Warren and Sanders stay in the Senate. I think their voices will be more unfettered there than in the Oval Office. I don't want them speaking for "all Americans." I want them to continue speaking for US. Few do it so fearlessly or so eloquently. Some of Obama's best words have come from him as a pre-presidential candidate and as a not-so-lame duck.

Finally, to both those who don't want Hillary as our nominee and those who want no one else: can we please put the obsessions on ice until we have some declared candidates and, preferably, a few debates behind us, and then some primaries on the horizon?

The Republicans can't wait for us to be at each others' throats over this. I'm all for keeping them from getting what they want for as long as possible.
