All but two are in the right wing, authoritarian corner. Should we be concerned that greater diversity does not exist among our field of candidates?

I think that there really is no difference among the democrats and republicans. Both are short sighted in things they want to accomplish and it is mostly for votes and baiting their adversaries in senate.
I suggest being independant and choosing the best overall candidate based on their performance and record instead of people who blindly follow party lines.
With the media scrutinising their sexual past instead of their beliefs in goverment and actual things they hope to accomplish it is not surprising that there is not more diverse candidates.

They have become a party of one. There is so little difference between Republican and Democrat that people like McCain could wear a donkey the front and an elephant on the back. Candidates seem to think that they need to appeal to everybody, when what this country needs and is begging for is a candidate with convictions (either left or right/male or female/black or white). Instead we are given neutered men who blow which way ever the breeze takes them.

Yes we should, the main front runners are all so wrong on many issues. Most of the democrats voted for this war in Iraq and are for amnesty of illegal immigrants, and the main candidates for the republican party are just as bad. How does this system give us a real choice to improve America?

yes very concerned. one cannot tell apart the elephant and the jackass. both serve the same foreign masters, both feature people that attended the same secret societies, both feature candidates that are 30 degree + masons, that attend the same mason lodges. a real democracy has many parties, for instance look at Canada, one can grow up in poverty in Canada, not have oil pals or connections, and yet they have a real chance to make it to Prime Minister. In America this could never ever happen.

The United States is not a country of extremes like some European countries. There are pockets of extremities but they are fringe kooks. Do we really want to waste our time with the lunatic fringe.
Clinton and Edwards got into hot water when they said that the debates would be better if the pool of candidates were narrowed. I could not agree with them more. I do not want to waste my time listening to people who have no chance of winning or affecting the election. I am not saying they should not be allowed to speak but at some other forum.

What country do you live in? Here in the good old USA the candidates are extremely divided between socialists on the Democratic side and Conservatives on the Republican side.

Except for Vegan Dennis Kucinich, who sadly, in our lifetime, is too left for the conservatives in this country hiding in the shadows because they voted for Bush.

I have no clue what criteria was used to put together the "Box" shown, but that made 0 sense...
P.S. I meant the box made no sense...I was not referring to you.....
