1. I would think..
..that knowing who the President is first, would be a big part of determining who their VP should be. But maybe its just me..

3. Yes it would be...
...although we could always play a game.

Post your pick for VP, see if, based on that choice, others can deduce who the Pres pick for the match up is...

Granted, wouldn't do much good with my sigline, but I could always choose someone else.

Who shall go first in the "Presidential Ticket Match-Up Game"?

7. 100% agree
Bob Graham is an outstanding choice.

Graham has the legislative experience to shepard legislation through the Senate. He knows what buttons to push and what strings to pull.

He would be a great match for the "outsider" candidates: Dean and Clark.

6. Clark is my first choice for vice president
Edited on Sat Nov-08-03 10:29 PM by MODemocrat
Edwards is my second choice. Call me "sexist", but I think they are both so charmingly handsome. Let's face it, we have such a good field of candidates, it would be nice if they would all have a place in the new administration. :thumbsup: :hi:

12. I'd like someone well known and liked in California, Texas or Florida
I'd also like someone with experience in elected government at the federal level.

And I would prefer that the top of the ticket demonstrate some diversity.

Unfortunately, I haven't given this uch thought, and I don't know the pool well enough to be sure of who that might include.
