My dictonary defines viable as being alive and capable of thriving. Would that not be applied to all candidates for all offices? Would that not apply to, perhaps Liz Dole--a candidate past, of a party I wish had passed? My personal preference is not for a candidate, male or female who is touting their 'war ready' credentials--like a 3 am phone call and that proves a candidate is ready on day one, because a 'bomb who list' is at the bedside, like touting being a gun fan from early childhood, learned to shoot and killed a duck. My personal preference, for pRes anyway, is for someone who recognizes that the vote to give a sociapathic guy the path to starting an aggressive war based on lies and deception is ---at least---wrong. Failure to recognize that is tantamount to admiting a like of war, a like of obliterating, a like of death and distruction. How many women, or men for that matter, would gladly jump into the Bundy V.W. knowing that he was a sociapathic killer and that by doing so their life expectancy dropped to zero? How many would thing he was 'charming'? How many would do a 'Nader' circe 2000 on a rival so they could perhaps benefit from the fallout? First “viable’ woman candidate?
