John Nichols recently ran this article in response to one by Molly Ivins that appeared in Common Dreams.

Now there's a man I could vote for in good conscience...

I agree Klaus. What a startling change for Democrats: nominate a man with honor and integrity, instead of the bought and paid for scum.

More on Moyers.

To let Moyers know what you think of this idea, write him at P.O. Box 309, Bernardsville, NJ 07924.

That's an interesting idea. The fact that he's not a career politician only makes it more appealing imo. I've always respected and admired Moyers. I feel for the person who is asked to step into the mess, it's going to be a huge sacrifice and undertaking to even try and get things on a good path, not to mention the classic Rovian and Starr mudslinging and stalking.

I read today someone's serious suggestion of a Moyers/Ivins 'texas ticket'...

What do you guys think, would that be more of a 'deal maker' than 'breaker'?

Sadly, I must confess I hold forth little hope indeed that such a nomination would translate, ultimately, into anything more than a Democratic Party 'red herring' enroute to the election...

Has anyone been watching his series "Faith and Reason" on PBS? Its incredible; the kind of discussion we desperatly need right now.

Perhaps the most relevant question is, would America of today ever elect someone who is the 'average Joe's' intellectual superior?

James, I enjoyed his interview with Pema Chodron recently, but, yes, it is indeed astonishing. Everything Moyers has done in his life is touched with credibility. Can anyone currently serving the Senate or Congrass make such a claim?

Chris, thanks for the heads up on Pema and Bill. I found it here: Portraits: Pema Chodron

I don't vote.

Ren, yeah, check out the entire series. Enlightening. Out of the box. Honestly ahead!
