No, there isn''t. That''s because it takes so much money to buy high office in the U.S. Those that get there are spending their own wealth and or corporate/special interest money. We need to buy our Democracy back by locking out corporate/special interest money and publicly financing viable candidates.

Is there any of the candidates for President who doesn''t look like an ultra-polished Amway/used-car sales person?!

Is there any candidate who looks like and acts like the OTHER 95% of Americans... you know...

...someone who goes shopping on their own, drives their own car, washes their own dishes and clothes, mows their own lawn, and vacuums their own carpet of a house that is less than 3,000 square feet?!

%u2018In total, about 239,000 Iowans participated in the Democratic caucus, an increase of 93 percent from the record turnout in 2004.

About 120,000 residents took part in the GOP caucus this week, a 36 percent increase over the last contested GOP event, in 2000.%u2019

this is a 2:1 turnout ratio of dems to repubs- many have suggested this includes many former repubs who have gone democrat. this is something the GOP is worried about bigtime.

the GOP is digging its own grave by pushing candidates like romney and mccain and giulliani (to a lesser degree fred who i dont think anyone really understands what he is doing) with the same old establishment message or even worse. the public showed thier dismay for a party failing to admit to huge errors, an inability to hold themselves accountable which turns into distrust, plain old arrogance, and a new way out. this is likely the reason hillary did so poorly also.

interesting that the big issues of the day are the war in iraq and the economy and yet the candidate who receives more donations from active duty servicemen, and the candidate who fights hardest for saving the dollar from crashing and saving us from over taxation is being excluded from the jan 6th fox news debate.

all these ''compassionate'' conservatives are making me nauseous. love that comment about $9 an hour workers being ''libs'' because the greatest supporters of the right wing are the uneducated - who tend to be lowly hourly workers. studies show the more educated you are the more liberal you are. go figure.

Only a gay man, a hyper-feminized man, or a woman would use such a phoney, psycho-babble word. You''''re a useless liberal, no two ways about it.

sorry, michael, but only a lesbian would use the term "hyper-feminized" -- are you trying to tell us something?

do we really want another religious christian nut case in our white house-
lets keep the separation of church and state and keep these insane pricks out of washington

Iowa caucuses shows that the know-it-all pundits had it wrong again. Money and organization could not save Romney from the religious zealots who pervaded the Republican caucuses. Queen Hillary could not be spared a slap in the face called, Receiving the Bronze, even though she had name recognition and the political machine. The outcome of the Dems caucuses is as significant as that of the Reps caucuses is insignificant. Twice as many Democrats caucused than Republicans. The message from the Democratic caucus is that change of the status quo is much more important than experience. They also had energy, enthusiasm, and appeal to independents on their side in candidate Barack Obama. Huckleberry Mike may be a hero to the homophobic, anti-abortion, anti-evolution reactionary wing of his party. However, the southern Baptist preacher has about as much chance of winning his party%u2019s nomination as Pat Robertson did in 1988 after outpolling in Iowa, the eventual nominee, George H. W. Bush. The nomination of Huckabee would most likely lead to a landslide loss for his party in 2008. That may be just what the Republicans need to change a process that all but guarantees the nomination of a far-right nut job. Having the first contest in a state that isn%u2019t 96% white and one that uses a primary election instead of an archaic caucus may rectify the problem. The New Hampshire primary could be the beginning of the end for the Queen, the Mormon, and the Huckleberry.

So did Romney stop strapping dogs to the roof of his car yet?

Romney''s flip-flops make the c-word believable where he''s concerned and that''s not a good thing.
