Might I suggest Wesley Clark? I wouldn't support him myself, but he's a fair
sight more tolerable than most of the Democratic field... one of the only
two of the possible democratic candidates who I believe would have a chance
of defeating Bush (the other being Howard Dean, assuming the Democrats swing
toward the liberal side). But if the Democrats want to run a viable
moderate, they should field Clark, and emphasize how strongly right-wing the
Bush adminstration has been (and how Bush has violated many of his
"moderate" positions from his 2000 campaign.) Unfortunately, I fear that the
Democratic party will end up nominating someone like Gephardt or Kerry, who
I don't believe has a snowball's chance in hell of booting Bush out of
office...

But if the Democratic nomination came down to Dean vs. Clark... *then* I'd
be excited...

I tend to agree.  Dean is, frankly, the only one in the current pack who I
think can a) beat Bush and b) has the credentials to do a good job as
President.  His record shows him as socially liberal in many respects, but
financially conservative, which is a good combination.  His history of running
Vermont shows his strong points, and traditionally governors get nominations
and win elections, not senators.
