I pretty much agree with all your assessments.
I think the Ho Dean "speech" would have turned anyone off, regardless of whether he was a liberal, conservative or middler... it was just an insanely stupid thing for a person to do. If Clark even showed 1/100th of Dean's insanity, he could get elected.
Liebermann turns me off because he is out of touch with the younger generation and what our "values" are (even though older people feel we have none, we do). His crusades against video games and music make him a poor Democratic nominee.
I get the feeling Kerry can challenge, but I'm not sure if he'll beat Bush and his money. Edwards is a good smooth talker, but I think he's playing the card about 4 years too soon to get elected... though I think his charisma and Kerry's campaining skills would be pretty good.
