The best democrat candidate?

I think Edwards can win if he builds his campaign around a message and doesn't just bet everything on the economy and Iraq falling apart.

I don't know anything about Sharpton except for a sound byte or two from debate coverage. Somebody told me that she thought he was just running to "make sure certain issues get addressed" and it looks that way certainly.

Well Bush had no foreign policy experience in 2000 and allowed himself to be surrounded by ideologues, but that doesn't seem to have hurt him. He also had basically no political experience before running for Governor in 1994, and that wasn't even a national office like Edwards has, plus he didn't (maybe still doesnt) know what Slovenia was, so he really didn't know very much either.

[Beet]

Well they don't know what the Federal Reserve is either so I guess thats one thing G. Bush and Al Sharpton have in common.

[Beet]

Ha ha.

Yes but Bush grew up around all his father's advisors and always had his father to lean on for foreign policy questions.  Even democrats admit Bush 41 was about the best qualified foreign policy President in recent times.

Yes but Bush 43 despite his groomings was generally quite ignorant on foreign policy in 2000, in fact that was one of the biggest criticisms of him, while Gore had been VP for 8 years and before that had worked for decades in the government.
