If not Obama, who?

[Kip Humphrey]

Who will you vote for in the 2012 presidential election?

[MannyGoldstein]

1. Dr. Dean

Hopefully he cowboys up.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Don't hold your breath...he's not running against Obama.

[MannyGoldstein]

7. If the 1969 Mets could win the World Series

Dr. Dean can enter the race.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Sure he could. But he's not interested in doing so. nt

[MannyGoldstein]

9. And you know this, how? nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I believe he has said so. nt

[BzaDem]

13. “Nobody is going to beat him [for the nomination] in 2012,” Dean said. “All that would do is weaken

"the president.”

“He is absolutely, categorically not running in 2012." “He supports President Obama in 2012 and he has repeatedly said so publicly.”

Though I find it odd that you would support Dean, who repeatedly says we need to cut spending on Social Security and Medicare on the Rachel Maddow show. In fact, he said anyone who thinks we don't need to cut Medicare and SS "isn't serious about the deficit." It created somewhat of a hubbub on DU.

Do you support SS cuts and Medicare cuts, so long as they are proposed by someone other than Obama?

[MannyGoldstein]

15. Dean said we need to cut SS? Link or slink.

I don't believe it.

25. Here is a transcript of what Howard Dean said on the Rachel Maddow Show on November 29, 2010.

"MADDOW: Do you think that they are powerful enough and that they are serious enough about that message that we could see things on the chopping block that are usually protected? Things like defense?

DEAN: I think you could, if everybody‘s willing to give something. If we were to raise taxes on the people who could well afford it, which is people who make over a quarter of million dollars a year, if we were then to look at cutting defense and cutting Social Security growth and cutting Medicare growth in a serious way, then you have the formula for dealing with the deficit. But if you leave one of those things out, none of this is going to work and everybody better get that message."

Do you believe it now?

[MannyGoldstein]

27. I hope Dean misspoke - otherwise, it's very disturbing

Medicare growth needs to be curbed, of course, as it's absurd. That's easily done by implementing a world-class health insurance system, such as the one candidate Obama ran on, which would slash health care costs.

Social Security is a debt owed to recipients.

[Ken Burch]

2. Bernie could do it.

17. Better question: Do you know who's 'counting' your vote? nt

[dipsydoodle]

29. I remain at a loss to understand

whatever possessed the US to go away from good old fashioned pencils and pieces of paper like we still use in the UK.

:hi:

[demosincebirth]

18. I support Obama. Why would I support anyone else?

[Cresent City Kid]

19. Let's give him a left leaning Congress

He kind of goes with the flow, let's change the flow.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. I'll vote for the most progressive, anti-war, candidate on the balllot ..or write one in.

Just as I did in '68 and '08.
