1. Only Kucinich
Kucinich has not broken a promise to ignore accepting private money. Kucinich has promised to consider real change like IRV( which I think could actually end up helping Democrats)Proportional Representation, and public finance. How can any of the others bring about change when they are a product and manipulator of the present system.

2. You kiding?
This is the most fascinating time in politics I have ever seen!

If it wasnt for the horible real world conseqyuences of what is hapening in america right now I would almost wish for another 4 years of bush just to watch all of the manuvering that has gone on in the last three years continue.

No politics has never been more exciting for me in my life.

3. I hear ya
For the first time ever politics have become fasinating to me. But the down side is that I have now also have become more aware of the rest of the things going on in the world and it isn't a pretty sight. I miss being the good guys.

4. If I could make this less personal,
I might agree. I can only see what this does to my kids, it makes my knees wobble.

15. Maybe that's the real reason Orrin Hatch is trying to amend the ...
...Constitution???

Mormons believe Jesus is going to return to Salt Lake City (or Independence Missouri, depending on which ward of the church you talk to ). Maybe Orrin wants to run Him for President when He gets here and it's got nothing to do with the Gropenator or any other foreign born politicians? ;)

8. LaRouche would certainly change the process.
Probably for the worse though.
