So says the Chicago Sun Times, which outline's CMB's campaign, and long list of supporters, here.
Her campaign is about more than winning or losing. As the first woman in 16 years to explore a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun is promoting a just cause.''I can win the Democratic nomination,'' Moseley Braun said recently, or, "I can make a showing and help advance the cause of women in higher office, pave the way for a woman president."
So she's a viable candidate just because she's "promoting a just cause" as a woman running for president? What about Dennis Kucinich? Do either of them have any appeal to moderate voters? This isn't the first time the media has romanticized something idiotic as a "just cause" (see: campaign finance reform).

Posted by: Lynn S at July 14, 2003 05:04 PMBraun is an idiot. The lady is dumber than a doorknob Just like the rest of those liberal idiots, it is all about her.....Condy rice has more class in her baby toe than Brann wil ever have . The only thing Braun can promote is JennyCraig advertisments.
Sorry u are not fan of Bush right now Lynn, be more specific in your criticism. whats scary about Bush? He helped to hold our country together during some very difficult times. The lousy economy that he inherited is slowly coming back, interest rates are low, the stock market is stabilizing.Cant send superman or Batman over to Iraq to completely rebuild that country in two months. Whats wrong Lynn cant you stand by your man during difficult times?

How far over does Atomic Dog have to lean before it helps his spelling?
Posted by: Seth at July 14, 2003 10:47 PMactually, u two might think about whether I am a bad speller or bad typist, since both of U are extremely deep. LOL. Actually, I am an ER Physician,Board certified, most likey have years of education beyond most people in here.
Fact remains the same ...U understand what I am saying. Braun is an idiot as are all the democratic crybabies. And by the way Seth, just because you are in here and comment on everything all the time, that in itself does not make you an intellectual. You appear to be an individual with too much time on your hands. The same holds tru e for Dube and others.. you all need to get a life
I apologize for George W.. he is responsible for the economy going south, he is responsible for the sept attacks, he is responsible for that terribly devastating war in Iraq in which we lost thousands of our men and women. And darnit, W needs to send superman over there to speed up the rebuilding process
You all make me laugh.. The good thing is the comedy in here is free
Posted by: atomicdog at July 15, 2003 08:18 AMBefore anyone feels compelled to take Mosley Braun seriously, consider whether the Sun Times has ever taken the Green Party or the Libertarians seriously. Okay, I can answer this one for you: they never have.
Whether your crusade is an environmentally friendly government with socialistic tendencies or limited government based on individual freedom, you will believe your cause is just. You just won't have the Sun-Times going along with you.
Mosley Braun isn't any less flakey than Ralph Nader or Harry Browne (she's got them both beat), and until the Sun-Times starts treating every long-shot equally, you can ignore its current pleas to consider the "serious" nature of Carol's quest.
Or Dennis', or Howard's, for that matter. A tent this big's gotta a lot of flakes.
