Donna Brazile on Dem Candidates: Time to Thin the Herd

If the Democratic Party wants to defeat George Bush in next year's election, it better start thinking about how to thin the herd of nine Democratic presidential candidates or risk having its message obscured by too many messengers.

That's the advice from former Al Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile, who told Fox News radio host Alan Colmes late Wednesday that for several in the crowded Democratic field, "It's time for them to go."

The $64,000 question is, who?

Brazile told Colmes she'll start naming names in December, but basically she means those in the race who have yet to win more than three percent support.

According to the latest Quinnipiac University survey, that would be Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun and Dennis Kucinich - each of who garnered a slender one percent share.

As for the front-runner, Howard Dean, Brazile says the nomination is now his to lose.

Alan Colmes is the author of the new book, "Red, White & Liberal: Why the Left is Right & the Right is Wrong."

Message obscured?


What message?

[Starrgaizr]

Wasn't it Brazile who induced the breathtakingly stupid Moseley-Braun to enter the race to steal attention from Sharpton? Wanna bet she'll say both should drop out now?

Keep 'em all in. Dems should be punished by having to watch all of them.

The $64,000 question is, who?

Oh Please. Do they honestly think we're that naive?

[Vigilanteman]

What message?

Bush is evil. Bush is satan. Satan does not exist. If we bury our heads in the sand, hold hands and sing Kumbaya, the terroists will leave us alone.

[oyez]

I guess she means it time for Hillery to step forward. Yeah, right.

[PeteFromMontana]

Can we keep Al Sharpton? He is great comic relief.

[PGalt]

Thin the herd hell...I vote for extinction!

[eyespysomething]

Keep 'em all in. Dems should be punished by having to watch all of them.

"Time to Thin the Herd"

Hard to see how this bunch could get any thinner than they are.

Who died and made Donna Brazile dictator?

[Young Rhino]

sing Kumbaya, the terroists will leave us alone.

Isn't there a reference to a deity in this song? Do you think the ACLU would tolerate the Dimwits singing it?

[StriperSniper]

Can we keep Al Sharpton?

I'll second that!

Go Al Go!

You do not want to know the answer to that question.

Trust me.

Alan Colmes book sales will top the New York Times worst-seller list.

[PeteFromMontana]

What kind of tator????

Montana is real close to Idaho...I am interested in all types of tators...like tator tots...

Uh oh...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

What message?

Republican bad. Democrat good. Fire warm. Food good. Republican bad.

[Thor_Hammar]

Let me see. With 9 nitwits in the race, the average candidate ought to receive about 11% of the vote. Donna Brazile thinks that any candidate who receives 3% or more of the vote ought to stay? Gee, that's a lot less than 11%!

But Donna doesn't have to worry about "thinning the herd". The herd is already pretty thin!

[CyberAnt]

Wasn't she saying this a few MONTHS AGO ..??

[Howlin]

Yes! She wanted every state to have a "favorite son/daughter!"

Fortunately for us, all of the 9 dwarves have egos to big to drop out!
