Most Americans remain blissfully unaware that there are currently ten people actively seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. The current frontrunners are generally considered to be former General Wesley Clark; former Vermont Governor Howard Dean; and Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman. Still most observers consider the whole bunch of them to be an uninspiring bunch.
Generally they tend to debate and argue over such mundane topics as the economy, tax cuts, healthcare reform, prescription drug benefits, the environment, and the future of the Social Security program. All important issues, to be sure.... But also boring as hell.
Consequently, none of the ten has yet been able to reach and grab the attention of the electorate.
This of course begs the question, "Are there ANY issues out that would grab the American people by the cahones and enable a candidate to break out of the pack?"
Well, yes. There are actually three:

1) Execute all spammers.
2) Execute all telemarketers.
3) Bar the New York Yankees from any future World Series appearances for the next 25 years. Give someone else a chance to play, for God's sakes!

The candidate who seizes on the above issues and incorporates them into his or her campaign platform will be assured of a landslide victory in November of 2004.
