I am looking, for true Progressives, not the fake ones who favor the Obama/Clinton ticket, who want an alternative! Please respond, and conservatives, this is open to you too, just be respectful please.

Nothing against Obama but he lacks experience and I do not think Hilary is right for the job.

There are lots of Democrats that wonder what is the best coarse and the best candidate. But, many of the old timers like myself know that almost any Democrat is better than almost any Republican who might end up as President. Despite all the nice talk, most of the Republicans are bought and sold by major Corporations, and don't let them tell you otherwise because they have to conceal there real concerns from the public.
The problem with penciling out Democrats that may well get our Democratic nomination is that we kill several of our candidates as we pick and choose between them. Of all the Democrats that are know seriously thinking about running for President in 2008 like Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Gore, Richardson, Clinton, Wesley Clark, Kerry and Obama, Vilsack, and Kucinich not one of them will be as seriously flawed as Brownback, McCain, Gingrich, Thompson, Giuiani and Pataki.
So keep your options open, and be aware of how much better off the Country and the world will be with a Democratic President in 2008.
Also remember 2000, If the left wing Candidate had not been there, Gore would have won the Presidency easily.

I would say I am a "true" progressive. Whatever that actually means...

I'm not a huge fan of Clinton. Not sure...just an uneasy feeling.

I like the prospect of Obama, because he is the first candidate in a while that hasn't been a member of the old money power elite that seeming run our country un opposed. Both Bush and Kerry were members of Skull and Bones. They both have monetary and Political ties that go far into their past.

Obama is just some guy. I like that, regardless of his "inexperience".

Well Frank there is a Progressive Republican Running!! Check him out! His Name is Mitt Romney!! He is the former Governor of Massachusetts. Check him out you might decide that's where you vote should go!
Opps take that back seems his views have changed a lot since he has decided to run for president!!

As for Hilary she would make a great president! He husband did a great job when he was in office and would be there to assist her if she needed it.
Further more here is a women who stuck by her vows. How easy would it have been for her to leave him. How easy to get a divorce lawyer. So many women would have kicked him to the curb however she stood by his side. She kept her vows.
Isn't that the type of person you would want running the country someone who will take an oath to uphold the constitution and stand by it?

I think H. Clinton sided with the corporatist too much in Washington and the conservative male has not evolved enough to except a female because one of the cores or conservatism is to fallow the father figure which in their minds must be strong and protective when they should look at government as a whole, all of us in this together rather then obey the leader regardless and protect them from any evidence that might proof guilt which will show weakness.

Women are the strongest voting block in our Nation making Hillary a very viable candidate, but her and Obama don't have a chance unless they are able to be very vocal supporters of hardcore relentless change in the coming session.

I'm thinking the Dem who makes the most noise and takes the party reigns--leads the movement to get the troops out like Moses freeing the slaves--will be the frontrunner. Edwards/Kucinich would be the ultimate ticket in my view.

The Republicans don't have a single viable candidate--McCain has been flip flopping his stances. His wife is the heir of the largest liquor distributor in Arizona making him too rich (Kerrylike) to be trusted. Bush's future vetoes, combined with a lack of cooperation from the Pub's on popular issues makes the chances of any our candidates winning likely..

The people that worked in the White House with the Clinton's did not think much of Hillary and they were all liberals.

I used to like Hillary, and then she decided she wasn't actually a moderate anymore. She's actually quite conservative on many issues she knows nothing about (video games). Go figure.

I don't know anything about Obama. I'm waiting to see what he does. I'm not keen on the hype though.

I'm open to anyone who refuses to take money from special interest groups. In Iowa, we had a guy named Ed Fallon run for governor, and he practiced what he preached. I was behind him all the way.

I am conservative and I hope America has someone who is qualified and able. Right now, I don't see anyone, on either side, that is able.
NO. I don't think either Obama or Clinton is capable.

I am not a big fan of Hillary's. I like Obama for his message of unity, abut find his corporatism troubling.
