Not happy with the democratic field. I Wish Joe Biden would run.

52. That's your debate? That's supposed to disprove all those polls?

Gee, with "logic" like that, seems to be little point posting facts to you. And what part of issues vs. labels in my polls post did you not get?

Why did Bush beat Kerry?

Well, for one thing the US voter has NEVER defeated an incumbent in war time. For another, Kerry was a lousy debater. Could barely finish a sentence without interrupting himself at least three times, until no one could follow. For a third thing, media played the swift boat ad like a million timies. For another, he voted for the Iraq War, then voted to cut off funding while our troops were in harm's way. Then, when he got flack about that, he started voting FOr funding. He looked weak and indecisive about war, probably the most profound thing the nation does--and he was running for Commander in Chief during war time.


And, despite all that, the margin by which Bush won the popular vote was razor thin. Something like 50.02%, IIRC.

Also, if the nation is so damned conservative or center right, why did Obama beat Hillary and Biden in the primary and McCain and Romney, both allegedly moderate Republicans, in the general

Stop trying to spread the Third Way mythologies while claiming to be a Socialist, though you sure don't post like one. Thanks.
