Zach Austin, I know you may have had to fill in for Patrick Molnar on short notice, but you could at least start things off with less dodging and more facts. You completely neglected Rudy Giuliani as a Republican candidate.
Is it because he is a more liberal Republican and looked upon as the great New York mayor that was able to handle the mayhem of Sept. 11? Does his centrism pose a threat to the more extreme views of Obama?
And how can you say “the first time in history, we have a woman, an African-American and a Latino all running for president”? Maybe you can explain this to Carol Moseley Braun, Al Sharpton, and Ruben Perez of the 2004 primaries. If the rest of the Democrats are going to ignore good candidates and make erroneous claims then this election won’t be exciting. It will be a cakewalk.
