Where have the strong candidates gone?
They are still there. The trouble is that the Democratic Party has been hijacked by centrist weasels.
If FDR ran today, he would be painted as a Quixotic loony lefty latte liberal with issues over his ability to not cheat on his wife (Prior to contracting polio of course.)
His "Nothing to fear" speech would be mocked roundly by Hillary Clinton, who would say something along the lines of "Maybe I have lived too long..."
Obama would comment that this election would be between a woman, a black man, and FDR.
Basically, the Democratic and Republican parties have systematically prevented any possibility of another FDR ever appearing in eithe party over the last fifty years, because the idea of a stone cold leftwinger getting into power and actually fixing anything is more frightening to them than anything you could imagine.
