Hey, the only one that will get my endorsement in this is big money nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #2

Interesting. I have been watching him and wondering if he was indeed going to toss his hat in. Raine1967 May 2015 #3

A lot of politics is local nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #4

Well, I haven't reached that level of cynicism yet. Big money is what was running until the sabrina 1 May 2015 #5

I have had a few conversations with former staffers nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #7

So have I, with staff members of several politicians. I prefer to listen to the candidate as I have sabrina 1 May 2015 #10

I am talking nuts and bolts here nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #11

If you're talking about Party politics, that's a different matter, but having worked for nine years sabrina 1 May 2015 #12

Well I run a non partisan media outlet nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #14

Well, I am not obliged to be non-partison or to endorse anything I do not agree with. sabrina 1 May 2015 #15

You misunderstand nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #26

I did misunderstand. This issue needs as much coverage and exposure as possible. sabrina 1 May 2015 #31

Well we are not a democracy nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #34

Not in politics, but 1939 May 2015 #33

Alas this is no longer sausage making nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #35

That would mean at least four candidates on the stage. Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #6

Chafee is supposed to run also, so that would make five. The more the merrier. sabrina 1 May 2015 #13

I look forward to hearing what Chafee wants to do Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #22

The more cwydro May 2015 #9

Good. Look forward to hearing more from both him and O'Malley. TwilightGardener May 2015 #16

I think Jim is really running for VP onenote May 2015 #19

I think a few will run for VEEP on both sides nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #20

Or he is running to get exposure for 2020 or 2024. Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #24

Webb is already 69. I think this is his one shot. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #25

I did not realize he was that old, but being 60 myself Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #27

He looks 20 years younger. He's like Dick Clark, he never ages apparently. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #28

I actually think that the D should rally behind one overwhelming candidate from the start demtenjeep May 2015 #30

That's risky. There is no such thing as an "overwhelming" candidate. JDPriestly May 2015 #60

I don't see a feasible way to convince all D's to rally behind one person. Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #61

I'd like to hear each candidate articulate clear, direct policy positions Warren DeMontague May 2015 #32

Well your first problem is actually with the media nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #36

I agree on most of that, although I think the Iraq War is still a legitimate question. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #38

Oh it is nadinbrzezinski May 2015 #40

Encouraging you to smile and laugh a little is an insult? MaggieD May 2015 #50
