I'd like to see Gephardt as the candidate too.

Unless there are unforseeable developments, I don't think he would win, or be particulaly stronger or weaker than the other Dems (other than Sharpton).

But I do feel that, as Dems go, he is a pretty decent guy who would keep to the issues and give the voters a clear-cut choice. And he has supported President Bush on Iraq. In the Lauer interview, he called it a matter of self-defense.

I agree. While Gephardt is clearly a partisan, he seems to have a bit more integrity than the average RAT.
