65. GORE/EDWARDS 08!
Or Edwards/Obama if Al really won't run.

Obama is just TOO green! I'm sorry but he's too young! I was asked on another post what about Clinton? Bill was a two<?> term governor of a state! And he got a hell of a lot done IN that state! Bill had a proven record for anyone who wanted to look!

I think Obama is just too green! I think his record in congress is great so far! I want him to STAY in Congress. That is something that we Often overlook as dems. It's the same fatal flaw of the green party. Congress has 1/3rd of the REAL power of the government. Congress has the power to remove a president, to remove a Supreme - Yes, if you did not know that Congress CAN impeach AND REMOVE members of the Supreme court!

We need more senators like Obama IN CONGRESS! That is the same reason I want Hilary to stay in office as well! Think of all the good Kennedy has done over his career in congress. If he had, somehow, been elected to president, after 8 years, poof that's it. As I recall only ONE president became a member of congress AFTER his 2 terms. I think that was Jefferson, but I could be wrong on who it was.

President is pretty much the end of the political line. And we need YOUNG GOOD congress members to stay in as long as they are allowed, to fix the government. How else did the GOP managed to fuck up everything in the last 12 years!? Because they had old geezers with huge amounts of power. IIRC the old codger (who name i forget) who was 100+, never had to even try to run an election. he simply won by fiat.

I like Gore/Edwards. We know Al Gore. There is no dirt that can be brought against him. It's all been done, and it's meaningless. In a way Al Gore IS the grand father of the internet. he sponsored the bill that allowed the funding to create it.

Edwards is also someone I feel we can trust. he has a good mind and heart. He's got charisma and has not been wooden at rallies. But I digress.
