Would you vote for Alan Grayson, or a similar liberal, for President?

75. Agree with you unfortunately, we don't get to decide who runs

or who is considered a "viable" candidate. I've watched this story too many times. In PA Chuck Pennachio was going to run for the Senate seat. Rendell and Schumer decided that the Democratic candidate should be Casey because of name recognition and fund raising capabilities. Pennachio was dead in the water and we had no choice. How about 2004 when Dean was the front runner? He's on some Sunday talkfest and asked If he would consider breaking up the media consolidation. His answer was affirmative with no question. Within a few days it was all about the Dean scream and he was toast within a week.
Fuck, let's go back to FDR's last term. The party "leadership decided that Wallace shouldn't be his running mate, so we ended up with Truman. No offense to Truman but Wallace could have made this a different world. No Hiroshima, no Nagasaki, no cold war, investment in global cooperation and national development. MIght even have restricted the CIA to only doing intelligence gathering. And then theirs Trumans capitulation to the British to allow them to try to recreate their empire. Now that really fucked us in the Middle East.
