7. I'll make an edit to add him.
I wanted to make this something of a "your ideal choice" poll, so I included Feingold anyway.

5. I voted Kerry/ Edwards but as in 2004 - prefer Kerry/Bayh
Bayh is a serious man who has been governor of Indiana. I was impressed with his questions to General Abizaid this week. He has far more substance than Edwards - so he and Kerry would be running on being competent people who listen to others and are both experienced.

49. I also could only vote Kerry/Edwards when I preferred
Kerry/Clark. Or even Kerry/Obama.

Not in any way a deliberate snub. I like Al Gore a lot, and loved his movie. Just forgot him. :)

16. Hey, some better combinations are missing!
I voted "Gore/Obama," but really wanted "Gore/Clark" or "Gore/Edwards" or "Clark/Edwards." I'd also be happy with "Clark/Obama" or maybe even "Obama/Edwards." Heck, I'd even go for "Gore/Clinton" (but NOT "Clinton/Gore!"). That's a lot of choices left out.

17. I wouldn't have paired the Johns again
But I don't know who'd I'd pick instead, so that one's as good as any. I see this is sort of a fantasy ticket pick, since Feingold is out.

23. Damn, we need some more non-senators as choices.
We have only had two senators elected president in the last 100 years. They are too damn easy to slime.

27. True...
Every one is labeled "in the top three most liberal." That top three must have 20-30 people condensed into it.

28. Well...
We now know Feingold isn't running...so you can take his name off the list. I wonder how all the DU'ers will react when/if Gore decides not to run as well? It would also be stupid to nominate Kerry again...he's not taking the Party anywhere.

Except when we win elections ....

Gore has already said he will not run .....

31. I like :-)
I think she'd be a good candidate for potus or veep. From what I've heard she's been a great governor. She's good looking without being too "pretty," and she's serious enough without being too stern. Plus, I'd like to be able to take advantage of the civil war being waged in the Kansas GOP and hopefully make it spread to the rest of the prairies.

37. What I would not give to see a Gore/Obama ticket
Please Gore, run and get your rightful presidential term stolen from you.

I think Gore would beat all of them and anybody the Reps throw at him as well.

I was surprised to see someone else named her for VP as well. I've been hoping she'd be picked for years. She'd be great.

42. I would actually
like to see a Barack Obama / Max Cleland ticket, I think that would have a real nice balance. Cleland has said he will not seek public office again, but its a nice thought.

44. I love the Gore/Obama or Gore/anyone choices, but if Gore feels
he can do more as a private citizen, I prefer Clark. Obama should not run for president yet. Edwards, Kerry, Clinton are all good choices. We have a gold mine. We need to start showing McCain up now for the hypocrite that he has proven himself so clearly to be. He's the only one who can beat us if the dems fix the voting process, which they have already said they will do. The dems are certainly hitting the ground running; we are so lucky that the vote was so much more than the Pugs expected. They thought they had them just right again.

45. Gore-Obama though Kucinich-Sanders would be a blast.
It's just right on so many levels. Gore's experience and knowhow married to Obama's charisma and obvious intellect. A white southerner running with the first serious black candidate for vice president.

It's beautiful.

But I could dump them for Kucinich-Sanders--or better yet Sanders-Kucinich.

So if they both run, what in the hell does that mean? That he asked, and she said...."yes, my son, you may"! :wtf:
