According to Howard Dean, the Democrats contending for the presidential nomination "look like America." Sounds about right. America is mostly populated by lawyers with longstanding left-wing sympathies who went to Yale or Harvard law school. I suppose if you extend the field to Bill Richardson you have a graduate of Tufts' Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. If you bring John Edwards in you do get a little diversity, a B.A. in textile technology from North Carolina State University followed by a J.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One out of four ain't bad, even if it's another lawyer.
