With fifteen months until the next presidential election, progressives are having to grapple with the usual question of voting their conscience for a candidate who can’t win, or voting for whoever the Democrats are running simply to stop the Republicans from winning. Given the absolute disaster that is the Bush administration, many are adopting an “anyone but Bush” attitude toward the election. It is worth looking at whom this “anyone” might end up being. Below are a few articles about or by some of the Democratic hopefuls. The views presented in these articles are put forward as food for thought and do not necessarily represent the views of the People’s Alliance or of Media Mouse.
