A silly article, and so far, a bunch of silly letters
What is the point of this article and thread? To point out that all presidential candidates, through the echoing corridors of time, will have potentially damaging flaws? Don't stop the presses.
Any of the Democratic candidates (save Gravel and Kucinich) can win. I will personally kick anyone in the teeth who says otherwise, because they're actually doing what the Republicans constantly accuse us of--giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Some candidates will have an easier time of winning than others, but will any of the top-tier Democrats face an uphill battle against any of the top-tier Republicans? At best the GOP can hope to scrape out a tiny victory in the face of a horrendous war and piles of scandals.
Will everyone please stop being an idiot? There are always going to be caveats and concerns, but this remains our race to lose, and I'd prefer we didn't lose it by insisting we're doomed from the outset.
