You know, olleb, I like the way you think because I have been saying for months, if not the past year, that Obama and Hillary are not the candidates we need to GUARANTEE the election in November.

Of all the times to screw this up, this is the worst possible time. We need an absolute veto-proof, filibuster-proof Congress and a pres. candidate that has no controversial "baggage", if that is the proper term to use and I think you know what I mean, and can offer an unbeatable alternative to McNuts.

Nothing against either Obama or Hillary, mind you, and of course I will vote for whomever is nominated, but as you pointed out, this election is so extrordinarily important that ego or whatever cannot jeopardize it.

Do whatever you can do in your quarter to get this message across. I'm right behind you.

"We should have a candidate

"We should have a candidate who can unite all Democrats of all races, genders, economic classes and one who is not beholden to corporate interests..."

Where should we look for this person? Mars?

Seriously, this is a worthy idea. It's why I'm going to vote for Obama, his internet supporters notwithstanding. Of the two Dem candidates left, I honestly think he has the best chance of taping the torn-up pieces back together once he gets the nomination. The hatred of Clinton is too virulent. And Obama has no vote on the war to explain away as Kerry had and Clinton would have.

Every candidate gets bruised during the nomination process. But the nomination is never anywhere as bitter as the general. Gird your loins.

I support Obama now and I'll

I support Obama now and I'll support him in November.

But I would be willing to go through a hypothetical exercise of choosing a third candidate and discuss how it would play out from now until November.

And also, how it would play out should he/she be President for the next four or eight years.

Any third candidate suggestions?

On second thought - you need to mail me some of what you got... must be good stuff.

Great idea. A bit late

Great idea. A bit late though.
