I have been thinking about starting a draft Harry Reid campaign for the Dems candidate for prez.. He's not my favorite. But he is doing a helluva lot more than Daschle as minority leader. He even said Bush was a loser <g>. He is a conservative Dem, pro-life personally but doesn't bother others about their own choice, a pretty fair environmentalist, but still doesn't mess with business too much..
I think he would attract the middle of the road voter and would be a pretty GOOD start to turn the Bush Titanic around before we hit the iceberg and sink.. Maybe run with a more liberal from the middle west, A Barack Abama type or a woman, but not Hillary. Besides she wouldn't play second fiddle to him, IMO.
I have met him personally and heard him speak a time or two.. He seems like a milque toast, but there is a certain toughness there.
We have to start somewhere. Besides I am tired of southern and eastern candidates.. Why do those regions always dominate our politics when they are not the economic or social leaders of our country any more? They are the trailers.. I know why, they know what to say, imo, but that's all. (disclaimer, I am not talking about individuals from there, only their politicians)..
Just thinking out loud. |
