Ellen Goodman, journalist and notorious water carrier for liberalism, wrote in her column the other day that the democrats have an "embarrasment of riches" with their candidates, whereas the republicans merely have an embarrasment. She then makes (in my opinion, I don't have links) weak arguements as to why all the republican candidates are basically losers.
Maybe the republicans don't have such great candidates. But the democrats? An embarrassment of riches!? Hillary, Obama, and Edwards the Breck girl? They are great while the republicans are bad?
I say gimme a break, Ms Goodman.. What does anyone else think?

Republicans don't need to be on TV, cold calling, and involved in scandals all the time to be noticed. The dems do not have terrific candidates they have highly publicized ones (Republicans will win) Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

The democrats have some potentiall terrific applicants which persons would see if the media would in simple terms end specializing in Obama Hillary and Edwards. Chris Dodd and Joe Biden have some large innovations, and Mr. Biden has adventure besides besides. i'd in no way vote for a POW candidate. i'm sorry however the psychological subject concerns are in simple terms too lots. i'm optimistic McCain became into an astonishing soldier, yet his temper and physique of strategies have not any place interior the white abode. i'd additionally in no way vote for all of us who has made a large concern of their faith interior the marketing campaign as Romney and Huckabee have executed. I had adequate of that for the previous 7 years. Guiliani isn't something yet a republican version of invoice Clinton along with his philandering techniques, and if people concept Clinton could have been impeached yet vote for for Guliani, then they are the biggest hypocrites.

The democrats have some potentiall terrific candidates which people would see if the media would just quit focusing on Obama Hillary and Edwards. Chris Dodd and Joe Biden have some great ideas, and Mr. Biden has experience to boot as well.
I would NEVER vote for a POW candidate. I'm sorry but the mental issues are just too much. I'm sure McCain was an excellent soldier, but his temper and attitude have no place in the white house.
I would also never vote for anyone who has made a huge issue of their religion in the campaign as Romney and Huckabee have done. I had enough of that for the past 7 years.
Guiliani is nothing but a republican version of Bill Clinton with his philandering ways, and if people thought Clinton should have been impeached yet vote for for Guliani, then they are the biggest hypocrites.

I have never voted for a democrat. With that being said, there is not one single candidate on either side that has my support. I think the left is weak, as usual. The right could not have a more pathetic pool to choose from. Romney almost had my support, but his religion does not hit home for me, and he has said some really stupid things. Thompson's health worries me. Giuliani is not a true conservative. I need to do more research on Huckabee, I dont know enough about him. McCain is very respectable, but I think in a debate, most dems would eat him for lunch. I would like to see a ticket of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich. Even with all of the weak candidates on the right, any of them are far better than Bill's wife, Obama, Edwards, or the class clown Ron Paul.

I'm a Democrat and actually the only embarrassment I see in the Republican candidates is Giuliani. The rest seem like a fine bunch of men to me.

I don't like Hillary even a little bit. She would be a disaster for the country. Other than that it rings true.
The Republican party is a disaster. I've been a member of it for more than half a century but no longer vote for Republican candidates. Too much duplicity, falsehood and just plain greed.

I would say that the Dem's have the more intriguing group, especially with Obama and Hillary and Biden.
With the exception of Ron Paul for the GOP, it's more of the same old...status quo. And Ron Paul does not have the backing of his party, so he almost doesn't count as GOP.
Of coarse, both parties are going to think their candidates are best.

Well we all will think the opposing party is a bunch of idiots as do i, since I'm a democrat. If you support your party you'll always say your side is the most competent even if you know that's a lie. So An (ewh-icky) republic will think their candidates are the best and of course a WONDERFUL DEMOCRAT will think their candidates are the best. Personal perception reigns supreme!

both sides are just as bad. but since the republicans have been in the white house for the past 8 years then they're gonna get a much worse attack than the dems. personally, I could care less which side wins cause they're all a bunch of crooks.

I think that while the republicans have a couple candidates that are so-so, (no Gippers) the democrats have nothing even close. I wouldnt vote for Obama, Clinton or Edwards if the alternative was getting waterboarded

Ms Goodman should give us all a break and write something worth reading instead of what passes as her opinion, but in the end is just propaganda.
