New (Almost) anyone who wins the primaries.
I like Franken. I've heard lots of people like Kamala Harris but I know almost nothing about her. Gillibrand did good things during the various confirmation hearings and seems to know how to win fairly conservative voters in her state. Kaine is a good guy and can win over conservative voters, too, while pushing for fairly liberal policies.

I have no idea how any of them would do in Iowa and New Hampshire and all the other small states that (unfortunately) seem to determine the "momentum" that determines the nominee.

There are lots of good Democrats. (Almost) any of them would be preferable to any Republican I can think of.

At the moment I'm more worried about the Virginia elections this fall, so I'm not paying a lot of attention to national races yet.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Kaine can't win over Conservatives? Support for Right to Work wasn't enough?
Yeah, he's a flaming Liberal all right.

Seriously, Scott. I don't mind you supporting "democrats" like Kaine, but you owe it to yourself to just come out as a Republican if you're going to continue to do so.
