Precisely why a 'Rat, any of them, has a decent shot at being the leader of the free world. Corresponding to the choice between adults and children, is that the choosers are a population of adults and "children". And there are alot of "children" ready to choose the child.
The three ‘Rats are running against Bush, the one Republican that’s certain to not be on the ballot in November. If it was to be Bush, any of them might win, for all the wrong reasons. Since they will be facing either Rudy, Mitt, McCain, Huckabee, or Thompson, the question of who America will raise to the White House does become quite simple. Hillary, Obama, and Edwards will go down in history as the weakest slate of Democrats in the last 100 years.
