Be honest, how many knew there were 5?)...

By this point in 2008, there had been 8 legitimate, and official Dem candidates for 6 months. But this time, when the Dems are at risk of losing the WH, they only field a single semi mainstream candidate... two if you count the criminal Hillary? WTF? That doesn't worry the Dem establishment at all? They're not exactly circling the wagons on damage control, they are literally acting like this isn't an election at all. They only scheduled barely enough debates to pass as legitimate.

Sanders is an admitted socialist and is an old bastard...is that really the guy they want? He's an old white man, not a minority or a woman. He doesn't fit the Dem agenda and as a socialist I can't believe he fits the Independent voter ideal.

Something stinks. I just don't know what. But deep in my gut, I feel this is all wrong. I'd bet good money that the election next year doesn't remotely resemble the field as we know it now. But, based on past elections, it's way too late for someone to jump in. So something big is going to happen to shake the boat enough that a new candidate becomes a fresh new face and "just what the doctor ordered."
