I am quiet impressed by two very unlikely ie "unelectable" candidates who are in the fray. Republican/libertarian candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Senator Mike Gravel. Not that I agree with them 100%. I am not eligible to vote but I wish I could. I really wish these people make it past the primaries and become real candidates. Even if one of them makes it to the final election that would do wonders. I am not sure if the democrats are smart enough elect Sen. Gravel.
Given that Bush/Cheney/Daschle effect will most likely drown the "electable" republicans in the election, I am hoping that congressman Paul's fresh (ie freshly old) ideas would rejuvenate the conservative base and get him past the primaries. Original conservative/libertarian ideas look especially fresh after the jolt people got for believing these neo-cons and neo-christian fundamentalists. Back down to todays realities of sound bite politics. I hope the presence of these gentleman in the race will have some real impact on the so called "electable" candidates. I am pray that the two put up a tough fight in the new primary format where multiple states go to polls on the same day. I am hoping that the so called "electable" candidates will be given a run for their money.
