2. Mary would be a solid Veep choice, but it depends on who is the nominee.
We could carry LA by a wide margin with her and really screw up Bush's electoral map.

Kerry - Edwards would suit me just fine. :)

6. Dean/Hillary would make a pretty good ticket for Democrats
... that way, if they win, Hillary would run in 2012 as a sitting VP.

9. I personally believe Dean would be a Dead Man Walking if he selected
Clark or Kerry and possibly even Lieberman.

Do any of us honestly believe that the BFEE - who would lie to us about Iraq sending hundreds if not thousands of American young people to their certain deaths would -- would PAUSE for an instant to get someone who idealogically is pro-corporate and pro-military and socio-politically is aligned with them in the White House by use of extreme measures?

JFK

RFK

Wellstone

Hatfield

Carnahan

Heinz

Boggs

The list of those killed or likely killed by the Bush-Nazi network is long and gruesome.

THE PLAN, I surmise, is the same as the plan in 1963. Get a dem who is or has been on the payroll or in the network of the BFEE or who supports their PNAC plans to get selected as VP by DEAN (if they cannot win outright). Then presto bango! The BFEE stays on top.

That is why I support Edwards. He clearly has a background challenging corporations, he is not from a preppy elite, he can get the southern vote, and, despite his constituency driven Iraq vote (unlike Kerry who could have easily voted against and had his constituents support) has a track record which I can "mostl;y) support.

I would vote for Kucinich first as VP if I honestly felt he would help win the election. Sadly I think Kucinich is just not marketable to mainstream democrats and would hurt more than help.

I would prefer Kucinich as Prez too. But I think Dean is the proven winner and voice of the majority of the people, where Kucinich appeals mostly to the fringes of the dem party.

19. Was Goin Dean\Clark... Now Thinkin Dean\Edwards !!!
Edwards is a pretty awesome public speaker, and an articulate advocate of the 'little guy'.

In years past, you would want to 'balance' a presidential ticket North\South ala Kennedy\Johnson. Plus, this time, if done well, you could get the image of North and South coming together to bury the hatchet, as it were, by having Dean and Edwards make peace over the 'confederate flag\pick-up truck' flap. You know, show the country that we are all in this together. A little harmony perhaps?

Anywho, for this little fantasy of mine to work, Dean and Edwards would have to publicly bury their own hatchets. Hopefully not in each other's backsides.

Whaddaya think?

:shrug:
