Does anyone else think that if the democrats could pick a candidate with some brains they might win ?

The Republicans picked a candidate with no brains in 2000 and it worked for them!

You will not be wrong. Have a little faith in the intelligence of the American people. They will do the right thing and vote for the Democrats.

I would love to have a choice of a realistic alternative to Democrats and Republicans.

If they are smart, they will be laid back and very careful for the next 2 years and wait to capture the Presidency too.  Thankfully there are Dems like John Kerry who seemingly only take their feet out of their mouths for only a few months at a time.\n\nBut few enough Dems are really smart.  I expect Palosiis going to turn up her annoying personality up a notch or two, feeling like she has a mandate.  This may actually be a good thing, remind Americans why they changed the House to Republican more than a decade ago.

If they get their skills up to scratch, they possibly could. lol

They could, but they represent very different philosophies. It won't happen. The only thing they have in common is that very few people vote for any of their candidates.

I've been Liberal all my life and really want to see the Democrats take back both the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. However, unless the Democrats get their acts together and move closer to the middle they are destined to be a minority party and looking at another Republican in the White House in 08.  In answer to your question, NO, I do not believe Hilary can win, not because of her sex, but because she, in my opinion, is one of the problems with the Democratic Party. As of now, I think Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia would be a good bet and a great candidate to take the White House back.

I think the Dems are losing now and will continue to lose until they can come up with a way to define their party.  And until they can produce a good, strong, likable, trustworthy candidate.

Sure the democrats are smarter than the republicans, but I would like to suggest anyone be an independent thinker instead of a party member. Each party has its pros and cons.

It may be just a coincidence, but I have yet to see the word, "Die Bold" in any question since the elections.\nNow that the Democrats have some real clout, it will be very interesting to sit back and see how they lead.\nVery interesting, indeed.

It depends who the Republicans choose and who the Democrats choose. And if it's close enough, it could depend on whether or not the Democrats harass Green Party volunteers like they did in 2004 to keep Nader off the ballots.

I think it is possible but not probable. Men still have too much of a lead in this country and especially in politics.

Yes, in spite of the democrats.

This could be true.  And also if something goes horribly wrong it will now be blamed on the Democrats.

I think they might have been able to pick up one or two of those close Senate races that they had lost.\n\nBad political move.

Probably not!  If a female came along that truly possessed the charisma, intelligence, political and diplomatic skills that most people look for in a candidate, she might stand a chance. But, let's face it folks, most guys will not vote for a female, and many women feel safer with a guy at the helm. If you are really honest with yourself, you would have to admit there in no good candidate on the horizon, and please, don't say Hillary.  \n\nHillary's biggest problem is the fact that she has surfaced much to early.  For her to maintain a high level of popularity for as long as she needs to, is almost impossible.  It has long been stated, that to rise too early in popularity when it comes to seeking office, is a political death knell for the average candidate.  By the time election time comes round, even the most die-hard liberal will be sick of hearing Hillary's name.\n\nIf a truly capable candidate surfaces in the meantime, I would sure like to know more about her, hell I might even vote for her.  In your dreams.
