[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing to see here...just the primary season.  Didn't the Democrats have a crowded field in the last few elections that included:
Dick Gephart, Carol Mosely-Braun, Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, Bill Bradley, Jesse Jackson (many years back).  These are a few that spring to mind....many nice enough people, but no chance in hell of winning on a national stage.[/quote]

If you think Bill Bradley or Dick Gephardt are in any way comparable to these people, you have a screw loose.  Those two were qualified to be President, even if they did not win.

And as for the rest, anyone can run.  That's not the GOP's problem.  The problem is that these kooks are the frontrunners.  I do not think you will see a point where the front-runner was Moseley-Braun, Kucinish, Sharpton or Jackson.  If you saw a poll that said "Sharpton leads the Democratic Field", what would you say on this forum?  Then what would you say if two weeks later the headline read "Kucinich is tied for first in the new poll".  And THEN what would you say if three weeks later Carol Moseley Braun was the frontrunner, and posters like you were saying we ignore her at our peril?

Well that's exactly what the GOP race looks like to me.  Crazytown.[/quote]
