here's what i'm wondering: why is it that no one seems to be considering carol moseley braun a serious candidate in the democratic assembly of wannabes? we hear a lot about dean, a lot more noise starting up about clark, some rumblings about kerry, but no one gives moseley braun a passing reference. let me ponder......could it be????? no, surely not..... because she's black? because she's a woman? because she's a black woman? whaddya think? it's still a white male world out there in the Center Ring, i fear. yet, she is making a good showing in the debates, her stance on many issues is geared toward the necessities of life for the Real People in this country, she is tough, articulate, utterly sane. here's her web site if you care to peruse her thoughts on the issues.
and what about wesley clark, anyway? he's a puzzlement. joan walsh had an interesting musing friday on salon.com. i like walsh's take on things most of the time, so.......what about wes clark? he'll be the cover story in newsweek next week, a lot of the coverage is online already. a piece called The Water Walker shows him to be a complicated human with many contradictions and foibles. that's fine, most of us are, but i'm worried about the waffling he seems to be doing in his initial interviews. i had hoped he'd outshine the rest of the candidates and make it a clear choice. may not happen. then, for me, there's carol mosely-braun. anybody else paying any attention?
