A Winning Plan for the Dem Candidates. Join Forces
Awww righty now, this has gone far enough.

All the candidates, including any that dropped out, should come together in a caucus/meeting/conference/luau. They will hash out their positions, etc. Every State will send 2 Dems. Their job, judge the contest to rank all the candidates. Some will be cabinet members, others the Presidential/VP Nominees.

By coming together, we stay focused and reap the best in terms of strength/wisdom, etc. We reduce the bad feelings level and we become UNITED. We will give up egos for the Common Good.

Let it ride.

The Luau can be at my place, LOL, I buy the pig/steaks

This is a plan the Pubs will try their best to denigrate/destroy.

1. Words of wisdom, my friend!
The Repubs have managed to keep the Democrats from unifying, quite successfully I might add.

6. That should be the number one focus, Unity
That would give the Pubs a massive Migrain.

Come, we gather the flowers and the musicians, the dancers and the singers.

Come, we eat, laugh, sing.

10. Hahahaha!
"Come, we gather the flowers and the musicians, the dancers and the singers. Come, we eat, laugh, sing." An unforced unity would give them more ailments then just a migrain.

16. Maybe some heartburn too, lol
The people out there, hungry for real leadership, they would go for this Unity like bees on flowers.

Its up to us to give it to them. Anything less and the Pubs will prevail.

Come on in, the Unity is fine.

2. Make Bill Clinton UN Ambassador!
Only Bill has the stature to fix things in the eyes of the world community. He'd bring a powerful repudiation to the "Pax Americana" mess the chickenhawk's have wrought on the world.

5. Big Dog can be used in so many ways but the Neocons will have
a hissyfit.

I say, let them have their Hissyfits.

Big Dog is for the COMMON GOOD and we should damn well use him as the voting members see fit.

Come, we fatten the pigs, steers.

3. I've had a similar idea myself
Perhaps the current field of candidates needs to run as a team - so then the only thing remaining is to find the right place for all of them.

Here's a few ideas...

Howard Dean - President
Wesley Clark - Vice President
John Edwards - Attorney General
Dick Gephardt - Secretary of Labor
John Kerry - Secretary of Defense
Bob Graham - Homeland Security

Someone else want to take a shot at the other candidates?

4. Seems we on the same page here:: Lets hope others might give this some
thought. Perhaps we may see a snowman, er, snowball effect.

Come, let us gather wood for the cooking and the PIG. We want a DEM LUAU.

The Mother of ALL LUAUS.

I buy the pig, I bring the Hula Girls, LOL

8. In this Meeting, we Dems have a much better opportunity to hash
out differences and focus on the areas of commonality. In achieving Unity, the Pubs will have a real fight, and we will not be as fragmented as we are.

I strongley believe one of the reasons the non voting public are not is because of the perception of discord. They fail to see this primary seaon is the norm that this is what takes place under the existing system. But we are starting to see this is an advantage to the pubs who are running only one guy.

We need new solutions, new concepts, new ideas. This existing ole boy network is OLD HAT. Of course the Pubs will fight change, its all a set up for THEM.

The DEMs, the people like you and I, who want better, must find ways to unite in a stronger more vibrant way.

Come, we find some sashimi.

15. Oh yeah, there can be a place for all these candidates.
Unlike the Pubs, we Dems have an abundance of good people. We got many qualified running for the slot.

The Pubs?? Look what they running? Bush is the Best they got??? What a sad Party the Pubs have, LOL. Like, its a freakin joke. The C minus Prez??? gimme a break.

9.  Some of those giant egos will have to shrink a bit for this to happen.

13. There is no room for ego on a winning foot ball team (Hawaii 37 Bama 29)
Either we win together or we fuck it all up.

There is a time to put aside the ego, this is that time.

The Hawaii Warriors did it, so can the DEMs.

All we gatta do is focus and UNITE,

Then we party,

I bring the Hula Girls,

Flottz the weed eater.
