Here are the links to the Contenders for the Democratic nomination of 2004
For this list I'm being pragmatic about the pros and cons.
Howard Dean:
Pro- Fmr. Vermont Governor has provided health care for most of it's citizens, balanced the budget and energized the Democratic base but his policies have been more Center than left.
Cons- Foot in mouth syndrome he talks maybe too much and the media will be there like rabid hungry dogs, remember the Gore "reinventing himself"?
Gen. Wesley Clark:
Pro- Heroic military career, proven leadership & diplomatic skills, very smart.
Cons- Vague on domestic policies, seen as a sleeper agent of the Clinton's especially of Hillary's.
John Edwards:
Pro- Southern Boy, rising star in the party appealing to Moderates.
Cons- Boring, pro-Iraq war, Seen as passive
Dick Gephardt:
Pro- Multi-term Congressman, big friend to Unions, mainstay for Democrats in Congress.
Cons- Seen as the problem with the party spine less, pathetic, pandering.
John Kerry:
Pro- Popular senator, war hero, well liked by the party.
Cons- Boring, seems to encompass an aura of Herbert Humphrey waiting the for the Nod!
Dennis Kucinich:
Pro- Knows where he stands, very good politician when needed to be, seems decent.
Cons- Crazy socialist vegan peacenick wacko, maybe too far left for America.
Joe Lieberman:
Pro- Moderate, looks good on paper to a conservative to middle voter.
Cons- Republican light, lame, voice sounds like a stomach ache, bowel movements have more heat than this guy.
Carol Moseley-Braun:
Pro- Minority voters will like her in the general election and a few primaries in the south, seems smarter than some of the guys she's running against.
Cons- She's a black woman in a perfect world that shouldn't matter at all but welcome to 2003. Very left on Abortion rights. Lacks international experience wanted for the job ( She was an Ambassador but she wouldn't bomb people for the hell of it...hence lack of experience).
Al Sharpton:
Pro- Entertaining, fighter.
Cons- A certain rape case in the 80's, very unprepared for the job.
