[LiberalinNC]

1. I like your choices

BTW Edwards is speaking tonight in Raleigh, NC @ Meredith College

[usregimechange]

5. I just think we have some really quality choices out there.

Hillary being not one of them.

[CrispyQ]

2. Damn!

Clark is a good looking man!!

[LiberalinNC]

12. I have to agree

During the last presidential campaign I had the tv on but only listening to it, when I did finally looked at it, I about fell over - Clark is hot!

[datadiva]

3. I could vote for that! n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. If he's the nominee, I'll vote for him.

But that's the best I can say. His performance as a VP candidate was pitiful. I'll be pushing for Gore, thanks.

[Ediacara]

6. I like your choices, but here are mine

President


Vice President

[dmosh42]

11. Clark is the man!

[ripple]

40. Kathleen!!

Nice to see her being seriously considered. I still like Obama/Clark, but I'd certainly jump behind my governor in a heatbeat. I would miss her leadership in my state, but she would make a great VP.

I still prefer Obama/Clark, though! ;-)

[Ediacara]

41. I don't know if anyone is seriously considering her besides me

But I think she could attract a lot of voters and we could take advantage of the civil war in the Kansas GOP and hopefully make it spread elsewhere.

[Deep13]

50. I like the way your mind works.

:-)

[skipos]

51. I like your choices too. nt

[Donna Zen]

57. That's the ticket!

How perfect. That has been my ticket for a long time now.

[Deep13]

7. Sorry, not Edwards unless he gets the nod., ...

...and even then I won't do campaign work. I really don't see the attraction. He did one term in the Senate and then abandoned it when he could not be president or vice president. Is this about the nation or about his ambition? With six years in the Senate and no other experience as an elected official I doubt he could do well managing the country. He might end up being like Jimmy Carter: a lot of great ideas but without the management experience to make them work. Besides, no Senator except JFK has become president in all of the 20th century. Governors are a far better option.

[usregimechange]

9. Vilsack? Who would you suggest?

[Deep13]

49. I'll wait to see who is interested in the job ...

...in addition to Vilsack.

[skipos]

52. I like Schweitzer of MT, Sebelius of KS, others like Richardson of NM

There is no evidence that any will run though. There are many governors that I don't know much about, so I am always hoping someone comes along to wow us all.

[Impashund Ubique]

8. Edwards just blogged at Kos; addressed many issues...

You can read his answers here:

http://www.dailykos.com/user/John%20Edwards/comments

These are real, erudite answers - I want more politicians to engage in such blogging sessions. Instead of posting a speech, let's have them engage one on one in the comments section as Edwards did. Great stuff. He even talks about his lack of FP cred perceptijon.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Damn! We're running nothing but thoroughbreds the next race! n/t

[FrenchieCat]

13. My picks.....for Prez/VP...both had enough sense to understand

that Iraq was not a good thing.

NEITHER voted for the Patriot Act.

And both are just as good looking, and together have all of the experience required to make Democrats a full service party--which, by the way, includes National Security.

Together, they have an intelligence unsurpassed, and brains with looks beats wrong on war and peace with looks anyday!

CLARK/OBAMA 2008 - The insightful choice on matters of War & Peace and Civil Liberties!

[Catchawave]

17. Oh please, we don't poop on your threads :)

:banghead:

[FrenchieCat]

20. Is this really YOUR thread? I didn't realize that showing Clark and Obama

together was a POOP!

:wtf: Seems like Op author showed Wes Clark's photo....or Am I just "imagining" things? :shrug:

And did I mention John Edwards or something? :eyes:

[Catchawave]

23. You know better...Clark and Obama

couldn't vote for the Patriot Act...they weren't there :eyes:

Nice try :)

[FrenchieCat]

26. Yes, and......how does that excuse those that were?

So you're saying that I'm unable to articulate my displeasure for those who voted for the Patriot Act?

What else am I unable to do since this is "your" thread? :shrug:

[Catchawave]

28. Where did I say it was "my" thread.....

Oh wait....I'll just hijack it then...

President Edwards:

[FrenchieCat]

30. Yes, you implied it by your post......Oh please, "we" don't poop on your threads :)

So had President Edwards rescinded the Patriot Act that he voted for by the time that photo was taken?

Or is looking good during photoOPs all that is required of him?

[Catchawave]

32. We, generic supporters of Candidates other than Clark.

I can never enjoy or learn from a thread with ABC (anybody but clark) without seeing some negative comments. I know Clark would not like his name dragged into the debate every freaking time !

Patriot Act = School of the Americas ? :shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

33. I don't know....Clark never got a vote on either as he was in the military

not dictating their national policies (that's the government who does that).

So, did John Edwards draft a bill to close the Schools of America? Did he vote against it's funding? Not that I can recall. Bout You?

[Jai4WKC08]

56. Excuse me, but...

The subject of the OP is "The Next President of the United States of America."

The OP then goes on to suggest that the next president will be John Edwards, but that is NOT the subject. It is not hi-jacking the thread to suggest that the next president should be someone else instead, it is responding to the OP.

You really need to get the chip off of your shoulder against those of us who support Clark. We have as much right to post our opinions here as anyone else. On any thread we choose.

[Cameron27]

18. Absolutely!

Great combo!

[usregimechange]

21. I could go for that as well!

[FrenchieCat]

31. Well then, you may want to mention to Catchawave that

this is not her thread...cause she seems to think so.

I believed that you posted your thread for feedback and comments of DUers in general....not just those who agree 100% with your suggestion. Is that right?

[usregimechange]

39. Sure.

[DesertRat]

14. My pick for President and First Lady

[William769]

15. Talk about being presumptuous!

[tinfoil tiaras]

16. Great Selections!

Edwards/Obama '08 :woohoo:

[LittleClarkie]

19. My pick

[Auntie Bush]

37. That's one of the best pictures of Kerry I've ever seen.

Hmmmm...Yummy. He looks very presidential...almost as good as Clark...
and that's saying a lot from me. I almost feel unfaithful! lol

[LittleClarkie]

42. I know. Ain't he purdy? But here you go. I hate to see people suffer.

It's kinda fuzzy, but the best one I could find of the two of them.






And here's another Kerry one I love.

[wisteria]

47. What a great picture of Kerry. He is my first choice, but I won't knock the others.

They are all good Dem's.

[Virginian]

22. That would be fine with me.

Like them all. Don't know who I would vote for in the primary next time. I think I favor John Edwards, but the rest are OK in my book also.

Maybe I'll just cross over and vote against the Republican I dislike the most, or against the Republican that seems to be the most electable.

I've done that when I like all the Dem choices and can't decide on a favorite. It puts me on the GOP mailing list and I get their propaganda for a while.

[robbedvoter]

24. No more warmongers! Basta!

MATTHEWS: OK. I just want to get one thing straight so that we know how
you would have been different in president if you had been in office
the last four years as president. Would you have gone to Afghanistan?

EDWARDS: I would.

MATTHEWS: Would you have gone to Iraq?

EDWARDS: I would have gone to Iraq.

[Jemmons]

25. My pick

Just kidding.

[nickshepDEM]

27. Edwards/Richardson... Election will be won in the west

[martymar64]

35. Try Edwards/Schweitzer

Richardson's OK, but a Western Populist like Gov Schweitzer of MT would be unstoppable

[nickshepDEM]

38. I hear Schweitzer likes McCain in 2008...

[Rowdyboy]

46. Now that news would really disturb and disappoint me....I have a really high

opinion of Schweitzer so far. Does that imply he would support McCain over his own party nominee, or that his support would be perfunctory? Any details?

[nickshepDEM]

53. Actually, I'm wrong. He likes Romney in 2008. He supported McCain in 2000.

Here is the direct quote:

"Schweitzer remains an iconoclast; he says he supported John McCain’s presidential bid in 2000, though he has since soured on McCain because of the way he has courted the religious right, and he says he is now intrigued by the possibility of a presidential run by Mitt Romney, the Republican governor of Massachusetts, in 2008. “If he gets the nomination, I might support him,” Schweitzer told me."

When I first read this I felt as if I had been punched in the gut. Disappointing to say the very least.

[Rowdyboy]

55. Damn, did you ever burst my bubble! Thanks, Nick. I appreciate

knowing these things up front. Very disappointing.

[The Count]

29. um...no, thanks. Next!

[ihelpu2see]

34. Boy, I could finally sleep at night!!! I mean just read anything from

any one of these guys and you will realize, when comparing it to our current crop of losers, that America CAN do a whole lot better!

What was "Dr." Rice's comment that made a headline a day or two ago. It was so stupid and obvious I was shocked she even said it...

[thatsrightimirish]

36. I think an Edwards/Obama ticket

Would get huge support from Blacks,young voters, and women. The labor unions absolutely love Edwards and that is very important. You also couldn't beat that national security team.

[BluegrassDem]

44. No Edwards...

he's an empty suit. Plus, more importantly, he can't even win his own home state. Hell, even Evan Bayh could pull Indiana over to the blue column. Edwards didn't even run for re-election. What kinda shit is that? He doesn't have a job right now at all. I like that man, but he can't win the presidency. However, he'd be a fantastic Attorney General.

[ruggerson]

48. Jimmy Carter didn't have a job either

he ran as an ex-governor.

[Punkingal]

43. Wow!!!!!

Could we be so lucky? Just look at them!

[usregimechange]

45. I would just love that ticket or any combination.

[1932]

54. Where are the women? Boxer? Granholm? Napolitano?
