Former 2008 presidential candidates address what current ones should


Nice full page op-ed in the New York Times today. In alpha order, Democrats then Republicans. Enormous sigh followed by four-letter word. I so dislike that I have to choose between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on Tuesday. Edwards is still on the Ohio ballot (as are Romney and Thompson who I wouldn’t be voting for anyway) but I was never big on him, even as a protest vote. Why oh why oh why did it have to come down to Ohio?

Joe Biden: Afghanistan. Pakistan. Forgotten. (this is precisely why he was my number one much of the time)

Chris Dodd: As the Nation Crumbles (infrastructure)

Dennis Kucinch: Forsaking Foreclosures (Dennis hoping a few Ohioans from his district read the NYT opeds?)

Bill Richardson: Bring it Back Home (mortgage crisis)

Sam Brownback: A Family Crisis (strengthen families)

Tom Tancredo: Bordering on Disaster (border security)

Duncan Hunter: We Can Make It (industrial base erosion)

Tommy Thompson: Cure More, Spend Less (health care)

Still left out:

Environment, education, social security, diversity, civil rights, science, technology. Others?

    Jill – Very interesting piece in the New York Times. I attended a rally for Hillary Clinton this morning in Westerville, a suburb of Columbus. She was very inspiring, offered solid plans for the problems facing this country, and had a very positive and upbeat message. It made me very proud that I will cast my vote for her on Tuesday!

    Thanks Jason – I really miss Joe Biden and Bill Richardson.
