Your 2008 candidates of choice |
|
I personally would like to see Al Gore with John Edwards as Vice President. Imagine Gore opening up a speech with “I told you so!” Or he could use a line from the 2000 election of “Are you better off now than you were eight years ago.” Except for Halliburton and other profiteers, I don’t know anyone who is better off since 2000 In light of the recent disaster and global warming, a dedicated environmentalist like Gore could win over a lot of people over, at least I hope so.

Anybody But a Republican is now my mantra.

2. I can't play this game yet. 2006 is too important |
|
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 09:50 AM by TayTay
I want a Dem House and a Dem Senate. Nothing else matters. Everything that happens in '08 depends on what happens in '06.
And I support people who support electing Dems in '06.

7. I'm going to volunteer |
|
And do whatever I can to assist the Democrats in 2006 myself. Last year my friends and two of my brothers voted Kerry and had never voted before. I will do whatever I can to help win the House and Senate in 2006. After that we can Impeach Jackass.

4. Edwards contributed NOTHING to the Kerry/Edwards ticket. |
|
We need to abandon this useless strategy of pandering to the South and focus our efforts on the West/Midwest. Give me Richardson or Gephardt any day over Edwards.

8. "pandering to the South" Guess you disagree with Dean |
|
Who said, that we need to build up our party in EVERY STATE, from the ground up.
It would be foolish to "write off the South" again, as Kerry did, whom did not campaign or spend much money here. KERRY lost the South, people vote for President, not VP.

13. Building up our party is one thing |
|
Letting the South decide our VP candidate is another.

17. The issue is relevant. |
|
But given his status with no elected position, he's not very relevant. Also, he absolutely laid an egg as a VP candidate already. He brought NOTHING whatsoever to that ticket.
And I absolutely do not think he's the only one who can sell the "Two Americas" message.

9. Clark Sharpton or Clark Clealand |
|
Why because I am so sick of the repugs throwing arround the patriotism card and the religious card I want to wrap myself up in ole glory for a change. Besides as a disabled person Max Clealand is my personal hero.

I'd be happy with Clark/Gore or even maybe Gore/Clark.
Overall I'd be happy to go with anyone but a repuke.
I will admit though if for some crazy reason Hillary won, she'd be the only candidate I'd have to hold my nose before voting for.

12. kucinich, boxer, waxman, conyers, and a few others come to mind.... |

Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 10:00 AM by mike_c
But none of the "mainstream" dems like Gore, Clinton, Edwards, etc.
on edit: oh, and I'd SERIOUSLY consider voting for a republican before I'd vote for Clark. Actually, it's hard to imagine circumstances that would make me vote for a repig, but I feel THAT strongly about the need to keep career generals out of the WH.

15. Welcome to DU but it's way too early to worry about '08 |

There are battles this year and next year before we need to be concerned about '08.

at the top of the ticket. Wouldn't mind a bit if Al Gore threw his hat into the ring too, but I don't see it happening.
In my dream world someone like John Conyers or Barbara Boxer for VP with the General at the top.

Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 10:21 AM by 1932
The one who doesn't serve the corporatocracy.
Does anyone want to try to make an argument about who does that?
What progressive ideas does your candidate stand for and how is he or she standing up to the corporatocracy?
