They were both against this invasion.

They are both taking on the media and the juggernaut right wing machine.

They are both offering progressive policies.

I trust them and their grassroots. I find them charismatic, electable, and honest.

If it narrows to a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean race, then I am pretty damn happy. To that end, I now have a Dean and a Clark bumper sticker on my car.

Is it unusual to like them both? Is there anybody else out there who would be happy to have either as POTUS?

1. Of course, there are plenty of us
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 09:04 PM by Rowdyboy
We just get shouted down by a few haters on the fringes of both candidates.

10. I don't care about which is on top
If both are on the ticket, we have complete credibility. A General and the insurgent. Clark, with Dean, or Dean with Kerry, or Clark with Kerry would all be very credible tickets (the problem with Dean and
Kerry is that they are both from New England. This would not sell nationwide ... sorry folks... they might actually be the best comination of skills and temperments... but it's not electable.

4. I like them both as well
and would be happy if either one got the nomination. I have been a fence sitter for awhile. Since I live in Illinois I don't have to rush into picking a candidate.

8. With Dean (my favorite) I am afraid of this "gay marriage" thing
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 09:15 PM by AlinPA
that Rove will push. Scares away "centrist" voters. I like Clark too. We really have good candidates (except Lieberman)

11. absolutely
Dean or Clark or both are the way to lead this country.

I like Dean's scrappy, tough attitude, but Clark did tell off the Fox news guy. I like Clark's being a true gentleman, but Dean apologized for his confederate flag remark and made peace with Sharpton after the debate.

I still can't decide which one to vote for in the primaries though.

Now we still gotta beat the neo-cons and send Bush back to Crawford.

YOU have the power to take our country back! - Dean

14. I like them both too. But do they have an equal chance of beating Shrub?
yeah, I would love to have either Clark or Dean as my president. But the question is will which one has the best chance against Shrub in the general election?
