More Presidential Possibles:
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) plans to file papers to launch a presidential exploratory committee this week and decide whether to run by June, he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He and other Democrats are to attend an AFL-CIO forum in Iowa today. Kucinich has said voters need to hear alternative points of view on Iraq, trade and the nation's economic policies.
Retired U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO supreme commander, also is considering a presidential bid, he told NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday. "I haven't declared a party, but it would be hard to conceive of running as a Republican only because the administration's policies are what is causing me to have these concerns," he said.
Former senator Carol Moseley-Braun (D-Ill.), the only black woman elected to the Senate, plans to announce her presidential candidacy Tuesday in Chicago. Some see her move as an effort to steal momentum from Al Sharpton of New York, whom some Democrats would like to usher off the stage.

I wouldn't mind any of them running, although I'd prefer Moseley-Braun didn't. I seem to recall a whole lotta corruption in her office in the Senate, not to mention I saw her speak on C-Span last night, and she was horrible. Listen, I'm fine with the idea of a female president, but the fact that you have a uterus shouldn't take 10 minutes out of a 20 minute speach.
Clark could be like Ike, but a democrat. Come to think of it, Ike didn't really know how to run the government. But I'll wait to see what he says, as he hasn't really said anything yet.
Kucinich is groovalicious, he was even at the New York protest this weekend. He doesn't have a prayer.
