How about an Edwards-Spitzer ticket?

[liberalpragmatist]

I know.. it's too early to talk about '08 and I generally try not to. But what the hell - this just occurred to me today and I think it could be a great ticket.

Now, I'm not declaring support for it - I'm not making up my mind whom I'll support until at least '07 or even early '08. I could conceivably support Edwards, Feingold, Kerry (if he runs again), Warner, Hillary, even Bayh.

But what do you guys think about a John Edwards-Eliot Spitzer ticket? (Yeah, Spitzer'll just have 2 years on him as guv, but he'd still be quite valuable)

1. Spitzer is too smart to abandon

the post so soon after winning it (assuming of course that he does win it). If he's got a national political career, it's not going to get seriously under way until after he's had a full term as Governor.

2. I would vote for Spitzer on any ticket but

I like Feingold/Spitzer better.

3. Spitzer Yes, Edwards - Fly off, Eh.

4. If our 08

Candidate wins two terms Spitzer could be a VP on that 2016 ticket or god forbid if we lose in 08 Spitzer and Obama would probably be the top 2 candidates in 2012

5. Well, I like both those people a lot.

Edwards is a talented politician and a sincere human being, not to mention his wife Elizabeth, who is a luminescent star in my opinion.

Spitzer will be at work in New York and I betcha New Yorkers ain't gonna let him go. I think he's going to SMASH Pataki and bring a lot of good energy to Democratic politics in the Empire State.

Doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good VP, but I just don't think New Yorkers are willing to give him up so soon.

I think the Party needs to think about not only 2006 and 2008, but launch a long-term organizational grassroots trajectory into a 16-year plan. We need to hold power longer than just one election to the next.

6. LP - You just suggested my "dream" ticket. Love them both. nt

7. I was actually more impressed by Elizabeth Edwards...

than her husband. Spitzer yes! Maybe someone like Schweitzer of Montana (a real rancher against a fake cowboy would have been interesting in 2004):

Spitzer/Schweitzer is a mouthful though.

8. No way. Edwards is oppurtunist # 1

Don't want to see him anywhere near the candidates.

9. Spitzer said Dean was "too liberal" (AS IF!) back in 2003.

So hell no to him.He can go rot in NY and I frankly hope he doesnt win a state race there , because I know it will make him a "hot prospect" for some future election. Might be the best thing for this nation as a whole to see him loose in NY as it could bury his career early on.

Edwards in 08?

Sure , he can run against Dole in his home state in 08. Ill support him.

For a national race , HELL NO!
