Preferred Candidate Supporter Names? Deaniacs? Clarkists?
Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 11:06 PM by tsipple
Of course, once a nominee is picked we're all Democrats first and foremost, but I'm trying to figure out the preferred naming for supporters of each of the nine Democratic candidates. Here are what I think they might be:

Dean: Deaniacs, Deanies
Gephardt: Gephardtians, Gephardtists, Geppies
Kerry: Kerryites, Kerryists, Kerrymen
Clark: Clarkists, Clarkies
Kucinich: Kucinichers, Kucinichites, Kucinichistas, DKers
Braun: Braunists, Braunites, Brauners
Sharpton: Sharptoners, Sharptonists, Sharptonites, Sharptonians
Lieberman: Liebermaniacs, Liebermen
Edwards: Edwardians

And let's not forget...

Bush: Losers

Anybody got other nominees? Can anyone help me narrow these choices down? Thanks.

(On edit: Added apostrophe to correct typo.)

15. OK, Pronunciation Help on That?
I think it's Koo-SIT-izens (rhymes with citizens), right?

That's cool. I like that one. Very democratic (and Democratic) sounding.

3. Kerry, Gephardt & Edwards supporters can be collectively referred to as…
Mouseketeers

14. Ouch!
Although I'm officially adopting "three mouseketeers" now, so thanks for that. (They get that for a week or so after their joint strategy conference call to plot how to take down Dean. Or try, anyway.)

Or maybe the "Axis-of-Feeble"? :evilgrin:

22. Pronunciation of "Clerks"?
Is "Clerks" with the British pronounciation "Clarks"? Because, if so, that's particularly subtle and appealing.

7. I got an e-mail from a grassroots Dean Org
today and it was addressed to Dear "Deaniacs" and I thought that it was kinda cute! So I thought.. I don't mind being called a "Deaniac"!

21. Nicknames don't work for all of the candidates supporters
Some of them are just too unweildy or goofy.

But I use Deanies. That one works nicely.

32. LOL - I guess I'll be a Kerryist
It makes me giggle.

Clark supporters need a better name IMO. Clarken? Both "Clarkies" and "Deanies" make me squirm (the names, not the folks... unless you want an itemized list of those who do, PM me, lol just kidding)
