X, I would tend to think that Hillary is the strongest Democratic Party candidate. She'll have to decide if she can break her promise to New Yorkers that she would serve out her term as Senator there. The cold fact is that she would get the electoral votes of New York. How she'd do down South is another matter. ** What I'm finding quite a bit more encouraging than the field of nine hopefuls in the race for the Democratic nomination today is the very strong and angry grassroots organizing that is going on across the country. 2,000 organizers gathered in Washington last week for the "Take Back America" Progressives Conference. See "Most Watched Video: c-span.org Locally, the Democratic Party is quite a lot more active now than it was prior to the 2000 or 2002 elections. And there are a multiplicity of organizers on the Web, MoveOn.org, True Majority, Progressive Majority, MeetUp.org, etc. who are energizing a base for progressives. Add to that a growing swell of discontent among real conservatives regarding the radical and unholy state/evangelical/corporate criminal cabal that has seized the White House and we have the makings for an election where the theme is going to "Throw the crooks out!"** As far as millions of Americans are concerned, George Bush is a malignant force for evil. It is his negatives that will do him in. -Ray
