Yes, but Gore almost won, I'm not sure any of the Democrats really have a chance at this point. They are to fragmented with no obvious leader. It will be difficult to elect a Democrat when the party can't even bring an obvious contender to the ring. These guys are sparing partners at best. |
I think that for now that's true, in a few months when it's finally time to nominate a single candidate all of these guys will have to join together in support the nominee to win the general election. They've at least been talking about it everywhere they go, that the number one issue is to oust GWB in the fall. To win in November they'll have to learn how to close ranks and get behind the nominee for real, not just in spirit. The republicans have been good at that for the last few years, democrats seem like they haven't quite completely learned yet.
The thing that has pricked up my ears the most about anyone running is Kerry's proposal for the goverment to establish (and actively
fund) hydrogen power research.
