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."
Al Gore.
