Alan Grayson, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Lieberman, Max Baucus, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Sr., Jesse Jackson Jr., Andrew Cuomo, Jon Corzine, Christine Quinn, Mike Oliverio, Michael Jackson (if he is still active in Louisiana politics), Sheila Jackson-Lee, Kwame Kilpatrick, Ray Nagin, Eric Massa, William Lacy Clay Jr., Emmanuel Cleaver, Barbara Lee, Pete Stark, Joe Baca, Charles Barron, Laura Richardson, Andrei Cherny, Marion Berry (the Washington D.C. one), Michelle Rhee, and the list goes on. If anyone can't find plenty of awful people in their own political party, it means they aren't looking hard enough

I think it is too early to say much about this race beyond that it will probably be a competitive one. I remember a time when John Kasich had no shot of winning reelection and I also remember a time when Hilary Clinton was a "lock" for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination. Toomey would probably win if the election were today, but it isn't, it is in 2016. On a different note, does anyone have any thoughts on what's next for Josh Shapiro? He seems like a real up-and-comer, but I'm not sure what opportunities he has to advance (at least in a statewide race). I suppose he could run for Schwartz's seat, but my understanding is that he isn't expected to run.

In the next few weeks I will be introducing the first of several major education reform bills that I plan to introduce, campaign finance reform legislation, stronger ethics rules for elected officials, and legislation to help protect Atlasians' civil liberties by banning warrantless wiretaps. I have never pretended to have a monopoly on good ideas, so I would like to encourage anyone with concerns, ideas, suggestions, etc about any of these issues (especially education reform) to shoot me a PM and I promise that I will take your ideas under careful consideration. I may or may not end up incorporating them into my proposal, but I will look at them with an open mind. I hope at least some folks will be kind enough to share their thoughts because as confident as I am in my ideas, I firmly believe that all of us have something valuable to contribute to Atlasia (regardless of whether or not we agree on the issues)

Well, onto 1996 as it is. Really though, is all this pageantry necessary? I mean there's got to be a point where the voters just wouldn't care and assumed the outcome was predetermined and not give a damn who was president.
Oh, don't worry, I think Nader will be a force to be reckoned with in 2000 if not 1996. 2004 proved Ralph Nader to be an egomaniac with delusions of grandeur, which is sad because he used to be a great man. He's like John McCain, he lost his dignity running for President.
