What two Democrats can beat a Romney & Huckabee ticket??
If you think it's an automatic win, you are whistling past the graveyard. I will have to see more than what I have seen from the Democrats up to this point before I say they can beat the Republican ticket. The worst political defeats are those suffered from over-confidence or a false sense of victory. Maybe we will need to tie up the Democrats in the backyard with the pitbulls, and feed them a little gunpowder, to make them mean enough to compete with the Republicans? I am not yet convinced we are ready to win the next election.

12. Hiccupbee thinks Mittens belief is that baby Jesus is Satan's brother
Hiccupbee isn't going to be around no one that thinks that.

Isn't this a hoot?

13. And they think Hillary is Satan?
They will unite against the Democrats. Remember John McCain hugging George W Bush after the way he was treated?

5. I think we're going to whip them like a rented mule.
Honestly, I am not seeing Mitt Romney as their nominee.

You might be right -- he could surprise me and take their podium in Minneapolis.

But if he manages somehow to get that far, I think we'll rip the flesh from his bones in the general election.

6. Barack Obama and Bill Richardson
Richardson would bring a hefty amount of diplomatic experience to the VP office. His pro-gun views would attract voters that might otherwise default Republican on the gun issue alone.

17. I'd support that ticket
Though I'd prefer Kucinich/Edwards, of course.

14. Hicks/Bodine
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 11:46 PM by Texas Explorer
Headliner Rufus Hicks, aged 76, of McComb, Mississippi. He was a campaign volunteer for Robert Kennedy and is a lifelong Democrat. And for Vice-President, Imajean Bodine, 82, of FlatGap, Kentucky. She proudly voted for Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton as a lifelong Democrat.

These two Democrats could beat a Romney/Huckabee (or vice versa) ticket. Or pick any two other Democrats and we'd still beat those two.

15. That Wetzelbill dude, I've seen campaign slogans all over DU but he
never gets air time during the debates. He and JeffR would beat Rockabee.

18. The way they have torn each other apart
in the primaries, it would only prove the hypocritical and opportunistic nature of the Republican party for them to suddenly put aside their chasm of policy differences to create a ticket that could please the most possible voters.

I think this is a non-issue. A Romney/Giuliani ticket is far more realistic to me.

19. Anybody, Romney is so beatable it isn't funny.
We have to take him seriously because a Romney presidency is a frightening prospect, but we can beat him certainly.
