I think to shape this conversati
on in terms of "coming up with a candidate who you think could win" is not only a recipe for failure but a continuati
on of the same failed system that we're mired in. As much as Kucinich and Sanders talk, they're part and parcel of Washington group think. Both men cave and buy into Washington culture. Unless and until there is radical change in how we fund elections and an end to the lobbying system (particula
rly the revolving door between government and lobbying), anyone currently in either of the parties and in office is just more of the same.
Anyone who isn't putting public financing of elections at the top of their agenda is no one to seriously consider. That goes for ending corporate personhood
, too.
I don't believe that a candidate can be drafted -- Someone is going to have to step up. And it's going to have to be someone unattached to either of the parties. Both parties are corrupt and anyone who is a career politician has too much reliance on party allegiance to risk his bread and better.
