I dunno Steve. I don't know what his numbers are right now...the last poll I saw had him 3rd in Iowa. And I don't even think he'd win his home state. He didn't do so hot in 1984, and as I see it, he's looked upon as part of what's wrong with the Dems right now. That's why I don't think Daschle will run...a lot of moderates would laugh him off.
Kerry and Edwards come across as, "Yeah, we're with the Dems, but we've got better ideas than the other putzes." And Dean seems to be the maverick one. The rest of them should pack their stuff up, go home, and dream a little dream. Though I would like to see Sharpton stick around, just to stir the pot.
Lessee...who ran in '92 for the Dems? Tsongas, Jerry Brown, Tom Harkin, Bob Kerrey, and Clinton. That's based on what I remember, and some obscure magazine article.
