You mean like the current leadership that might have a slick campaign but consistently abandons us on the issues?

You have to go to battle with the liberals you have.  There aren't many people standing besides me right now and Dennis is one of the few.  I'm not going to undercut him to make myself look better.

And Dennis is effective.  On the issues.  He is articulate and is not afraid of his liberal beliefs.  He's consistent and an all around good debater.  I would prefer him to make the liberal case (on the issues) over most Democrats.  It's that simple.

True--he's not effective when we throw in the personal shots--like he's goofy looking, he's got pointy ears, he's seen an UFO, he's into touchy feely spiritualism, etc.

But what's in it for you to undercut him on those grounds?

he didn't run a real campaign.  It was a fraud.  It's like paying for a lawyer that doesn't show up in court.

I remember you saying that when he failed to get in the DSM Register debate.

But really, how less serious was he than the other second and third tier candidates?  Don't all the Richardsons, Bidens, etc. have the same lack of seriousness?

And I saw him out there forcefully and effectively getting his message heard.  He wasn't like Fred Thompson phoning it in.  He debated and campaigned hard--from what I could see.  

Do you simply mean you thought he never had a chance to win?

Dennis didn't have the money.  That's why Edwards is about to be tossed to the curb, too (good riddance).

That is so sad . . . he didn't have the money . . . Well, let's put up Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg next time. They've got plenty of money.

Thanks for the qualification for prezdunt.

OK, while I generally agree with Boo's sentiments here, this line almost made spray the screen. Good one. :)

[Now...ducking back out of your discussion, already in progress.]

Can't hear ya, Peach!
