Reply #86: Sorry to be superficial but Clark is too short. You can't have the Prez [View All]

candidate shorter than the VP candidate. Short candidates in general have problems on the national stage. I hate McCain (spineless) but he would not win on the Republican ticket either for the same reason, too damn short. He might run against Clark because they are both short though. Sorry, just having a little fun here. I recommend Gore/Obama downthread. If Kerry fights for us this time out, but does not get the election overturned, maybe Kerry/Obama in 08. Obama may not have the experience yet, but in four years he will have more than enough. Bush had six years of being a figurehead in Texas as his experience, puhleese.

Obama is a star, there is no question about it. He will enhance any ticket he is on. It will take an African American on the ticket to get minority voters to trust in the system again if we don't prove fraud this time around too. I'd like to see the Rethugs try and prove that black people did not come out in large numbers to vote for the first Presidential ticket with an African American on it, or attempt to disenfranchise them in that election. They could not get away with it. Why shouldn't we put forward a candidate like that, a good man who is a force to be reckoned with. The Bushies have no trouble playing the race card and putting forward any number of minority candidates who are their cynical shills and lackeys in their administration.

Why can't we put forward a fine candidate (Barack Obama) who will bring out the minority vote (and every other progressive thinking person's vote) for our side. The Republicans shameful smearing of our candidates will backfire on them big time if they go after Obama. I don't doubt they'll try, they are after all the no-morals party.

Gore is a great candidate for President. He has really come into his own since he came back from self-imposed exile. I still am inspired by the speech he gave at NYU last year. He was on fire. Nobody has more experience in the Executive branch. I sincerely hope he gets back in the game. Gore/Dean would be a good ticket too. But Gore/Obama has the magic for me.
