Not Biden? I figured you'd be all over them -- Obama the minority, a Dem, a moderate (aka liberal) on most issues. Biden very anti-war, chair of foreign relations committee, moderate-liberal. No?

But Jesse isn’t just a media whore. That’s what I hoped to convey in my post.

As for Bill Moyers, I’d love to see him help shape the campaign and debates. Gotta show a fellow Baptist some love….

I was disappointed, as you might have guessed. But I hardly see how you gloating about the Dems victory at the polls has anything to do with Jesse Jackson.<br/><br/>I'm going to make a prediction here.<br/><br/>If Hillary wins the Dem nomination in 2008 (and heaven forbid, wins the general), Republicans will regain one the houses soon after, perhaps both. You're already seeing that the Dems think they have a mandate from the people to move further toward socialism. And make no mistake, that's what they are. I anticipate objections here, but they are easily disproven. Hillary is a known socialist thinker, as Bill was (though slightly less radical).<br/><br/>So in your perfect world so far, we know have Moyers for president, and Jesse Jackson for .... Senate Chaplain? Big smile ... big smile. Well, one thing’s for sure. I was disappointed, as you might have guessed.

My feelings about Jesse Jackson mirror my feelings about Bill Clinton: Both have great gifts, faith, and a desire for the common good. And both have flaws that keep hindering their work and obscuring their many actions for good. This is good.
