    i don't think it makes a damn bit of difference who they select. Bush and his cronies will endeavour to rig the polling machines, strike off black voters and screw the opposition in court even more than they did the last time...

    Yes, Hillary Clinton at this stage looks like the only one able to topple Dubya. Although she has ruled her self out for 2004, preferring 2008, pressure is growing upon her to run next year. We should know by October eitherway.

    John Edwards - read an article about him recently. Seemed to be fairly articulate, has a range of policies to appeal to a broad section of American voters and he is from the South, a section of the country the democrats need to win.

    Hillary - maybe 2008.

    I'd say HC would want to be caseful how she plays it.
    If she decides not to run in 2004, and to save herself for 2008, George Dubya better win for her sake. Because if the Democrats win in Nov. 2004, she won't have a shot at it for 2008.
