*ACTUAL TRUTH MAY VARY--particularly in the sketchier areas of human knowledge and achievement: business, mathematics, the hard sciences, and the like -- oh! and economics. (I really suck at economics.)

So this guy became the front runner: Dean. Howard Dean."

While I admit that I must learn more about Barack Obama, and what he stands for, I already know that Al Sharpton is an opportunistic, obnoxious, loud mouth liar. Black or white, he'd never get elected.
I know what you're saying, Chimp Boy had less to offer, but I'm hoping that the country has smartened up a bit. . . or . . . failing that, that there will be less voter fraud.

Go with with voter fraud. That's your strong suit.
Although I don't disagree with your objections to Al Sharpton, I will say this to his credit. He was undeniably the most articulate champion of the Democrats' platform and tenets during the last campaign.
To a person, the others -- even former Repubican Dean, Mr. "I'm the only Democrat running for the Democratic nomination -- was claiming as much right-of-center Republican issues as they could. That's a great electoral strategy, as Clinton proved, but it's not good for democratic politics.
If a candidate wants to run on Republican principles, he should become a Republican. And if the country wants to elect candidates that represent Republican principles, it should. As a progressive, left-of-center voter, I hate to say that because I know what the implications of saying a conservative nation deserves conservative representation means.
But I believe in the market place of ideas and I believe when ideas are debated honestly, that people can be transformed by the more compelling idea. I believe that so deeply that I'd rather lose with the right ideas than win with fraudulent candidates.

I noticed that, but then look who else was there.

I very much agree with this, as long as people's minds are open enough to accept new idea and thoughts, yet not so open that their brains fall out.
"Pardon the gibberish," he said, retrieving his brain from his keyboard. "I think I was still high on triptophan when I wrote that.
"Nope, I believe in a dictatorship of the Biff, and only the Biff. Anything else is a ruse, to keep my plans secret until after I have the support of the military, the proper backing for my Coup.
"Democracy? Phbbt! That idea was still born in the 1800s."
I know someone that once told me that one day he would be the High Lord and Master of Everything Imaginable.
I now wonder if you are you and who you say you are based on what you have now said. From the beginning, I thought you were you, however, with this new revelation you might be not who you say that you are but someone else altogether. Then I thought that perhaps you're simply trying to fool the huddled masses because if you are who I think you might be, then the huddled masses are merely peasants that do not need to really know who you are.
Yanno?
Yes, I know, and it's true, but shhh! for now. To reveal myself at this moment in time would be premature.
It be premature to say, however, that there will be a place for women like you in the New World.
