Its a clear cut problem, Democrats need to run for something and not against something,and especially not against a popular military in this violent world.
Need to find one or two candates to get behind and support, not ten
It can't be Hillary either, she might say lets bring all our young and tender soldier boys home and put them in safe place but its too late as she supports the Iraqi operation so what can she say now?. Lets escalate the conflict and end it sooner. ? Neither of those are winning posiitions.
Taxes have been cut, and now calling for a tax increase would cause more dissention than the decrease did.
Whatever candidate gets supported, IMO he should at least have had the experience of being a governor of a major State to be able to handle or at least understand the financial matters involving big sums, and be able to withstand the withering personal attacks expected from the opposition.
It looks like the California governor screwed up. I dont think Jeb is a Democrat. GWB would slaughter the present Texas governor. Jesse is quitting.
Who does that leave? Lots of Midwest States, I guess.
Perhaps a seated Congressman, but their popularity seems in decline, and subject to attacks on voting records or ill-concieved speeches ( The Press never forgets those devilish words preserved forever in digital form on the internet) hehehehe
