Say something you like about a candidate who's not your favorite

[mvd]

I've been reading DU, and feel that we need some positivity. Kucinich is my favorite because he's closest to my views. I'll choose my second favorite, Dean:

Dean inspires people, and that's very important. The passion around him is refreshing. I think I'll be voting for him if Kucinich drops out. I even have a Dean screen saver on one of my computers, in preparation for a possible campaign.

[JohnKleeb]

1. same about Dean being that I am a Kucinich supporter

and you asked for nice things about other candiates so here you are.
I even have a Kucinich speech on my iPod. oh my bad mvd you are a Kucinich supporter too.

[mvd]

10. Yep, a fellow Kucinich supporter

I keep thinking that if Bush could be President, Kucinich should be able to. After all, Bush is probably more to the right than Kucinich is to the left. And far left is a lot better than far right IMO until you get to Communism.

Did you find the speech on his site?

[JohnKleeb]

13. well you know the reason I like Kucinich is

He is bold and he has some great ideas. Oh the imagine America yeah I got it from his site. btw you hear about him speaking out for universal pre K-12 education :) gotta love that.

[mvd]

Thanks for telling me about the speech

I'm really glad that Kucinich has the guts to be for a single payer health-care plan.

About another candidate:

Braun could show Bush what true compassion is. She's such a nice person.

[JohnKleeb]

21. your welcome

btw if you love that health care plan you will love his education plan.

[JohnKleeb]

15. well you know the reason I like Kucinich is

He is bold and he has some great ideas. What speech? btw you hear about him speaking out for universal pre K-12 education :) gotta love that.

2. sharpton's....

is not crazy as I imagined.

[Andy_Stephenson]

John Kerry

has nice teeth. (Of course, he can afford proper dental care)

[RichV]

3. Joe

Lieberman has really awesome jowls.

[Pepperbelly]

12. Joey deserves some respect and not just a little bit either ...

I know he has grown into a real dingleberry in a lot of ways but in his youth, he went to Mississippi and was a Freedom Rider. That was dangerous, thankless and entirely moral thing to do. Good show on that, Joey. You WERE the man!

[leftofthedial]

4. I'm a Kucinich supporter

But Dean has done an incredible job of mobilizing a movement using unconventional methods.

I also like Kerry. I admire his war record and most of his legislative record.

I think al Sharpton has been the most impressive candidate until recently. His "spank the donkey" appeal was wonderful.

I will vote for whomever the Democrats nominate.

[West Coast Democrat]

5. Edwards is Hunky!

and Lieberman Promises Not to Keep Ashcroft as Attorney General

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. Hmmmm......

You may not believe this, but I like them all...except Lieberman. I would vote for Lieberman though, should he be the nominee. I like Al Sharpton for his quick wit and frankness. I like Dennis Kucinich a lot because he speaks my views.I like Carol Mosley Braun for her calm presence and grace....she has a great mind on those shoulders, too. I'm a Dean supporter. :-)

[G_j]

7. Kerry is strong on environmental issues

which is VERY important in my book.

[tom_paine]

8. Kerry has the military chops and the policy chops to be Emperor

I think he is a very solid candidate who I would be proud to vote for if Dean or Clark do not make it.

[mvd]

28. Yep, and Kerry's also very Presidential

to me.

[curse10]

9. Mosley-Braun is a fabulous speaker

I was really impressed with her in the debates.

[maxomai_vs_rove]

11. Dean Supporter

But I like the fact that Kerry fought to end the Vietnam war after he won several medals. I could vote for him if he were the candidate.

[KG]

14. dick gephardt wore a very tasteful tie

to the rose garden photo-op where he and joe liebermann handed the keys to war to a moron.

:)

17. Over the past 4 years Joe Lieberman has

averaged close to 93% on the League of Conservation Voters' scorecard.

There I said it.

[Howardx]

18. kerry has nice hair

n/t

[maxanne]

19. I love Elizabeth Edwards

I wish she were the candidate. This isn't John's year, but I hope he tries again. I think he'll be a really good candidate in the future. I like that he married an older woman and hasn't ditched her for a blonde nymph with implants.

John Kerry is a good speaker - and appears to be a nice guy, irl.

Al Sharpton is wicked funny - best quips of the campaign.

Dennis Kucinich is smart, and has good ideas. We need him in the House, badly.

Carol Moseley Braun was great at the debate. She had tremendous promise - I wish she hadn't squandered it. That mess in Nigeria did her in.

Bob Graham would make a fine VP.

I like Dick Gephardt very much - and he's wonderful in person. I owe him big time, for spending a few hours on MY campaign in 2002. It breaks my heart that I can't support his candidacy. He was awesome in the debate.

Lieberman - well, Connecticut is a nice state. :7

Dean - I've committed.

[wryter2000]

20. I can say something nice

I can say something nice about almost all of them, but I'll start with Sharpton. He's had the best soundbites (maybe aside from miserable failure), and I've been very impressed with him. Sorry he couldn't make the debate.

[Kamika]

22. heres mine "Joe Lieberman is not George Bush!"

hows that for positive post

[eileen from OH]

23. I think Gephardt

has been steadfast and true in his support of labor.

24. Kucinich

You have to admire the earnestness he portrays. He is the dream candidate for me. I support Dean, as I believe he has the best chance for nomination. But any candidate will get my vote, even lieberman.

Anyone but Shrub.

[mcaverly]

25. Kerry has a great record

And has a lot of integrity and intelligence.

[uptohere]

26. Graham has a terrific grasp of national issues

and, as such, can speak to any of them extemporaniously.

[John_H]

27. DK is...

one ass kickin', union supporting, tell-it-like-it-is firebrand.

[styersc]

29. When Al Sharpton was James' Brown's hairdresser...

...he put together when heck of a pompadour.

[fla nocount]

30. Graham enables the sugar in my chocolate.

I love my chocolate. So where would we be without "Big Sugar" Daddy Graham..........normalized relations with Cuba.......ughh, that just won't do.

[patrice]

31. I have heard that Kerry went after EPA regulators . . .

who were using the EPA to punish folks who the Bushies found objectionable.

I also like what he said tonight about "the war on terror" should be a matter of intelligence and straegic international police action, i.e. not a war. That is something I have been wanting someone to say for quite a while. It is very persuasive to the concerns of those who "support" Bush's war.

[mountebank]

32. Lieberman Talking

My LEAST favorite candidate - whose voice itself I cannot stand - but when he talks, he seems really really comfortable.

[Demobrat]

33. I like a lot of what Kucinich says.

Just don't think he's ready for prime time.
