Who are you wanting in '08?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

The generic, oft-repeated question - but it's been a while since I saw an informal poll with a completely open response.

So who's your pick?

Since Dean's out for now, I'm going with Bill Richardson

anyone but that DLC automaton hillary

[ogradda]

1. i like bill richardson.

i'd vote for him in a hot minute :)

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. he was always great on politically incorrect

saw him once on a panel with nader and michael moore and they were all great together talking about bush's energy policy. great sense of humor on the guy-hopefully, he could keep that charisma going through a campaign

and he's great on the issues, too

[ogradda]

4. i've always liked him.

personally, i'd vote for a sick salamandar if it wasn't a neocon. but i'd be DELIGHTED to vote for richardson. i like what he says and i think he's a decent human being.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. the only downside

is that the rw will try to smear him with the los alamos story (sp)

but they'll try to smear anyone, case in point-swift voat jackoffs for horseshit

richardson could overcome their flimsy evidence that he was somehow responsible, though

[ogradda]

10. yeah you got that right.

if we had a newborn babe to run they'd find some dirt. we could sure as hell pick worse.

[Grey Ranks]

3. ME!

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I am not of the proper age.

[uga_alum_93]

5. Warner - VA Guv

It takes a Southern Governor to win

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

8. i need to fins out more about this guy

he's from a neighboring state and i don't know anything about him

[newyawker99]

21. Hi uga_alum_93!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[coloradodem2005]

6. I could support Clark.

Richardson would be a good bet. Mark Warner.

[yurbud]

9. No one the DLC likes

[Streetdoc270]

11. Anyone but Kerry

Flame away if you want but I feel that with GW's inagural approval rateing around %50 and dropping like a rock shows that our canidate was the 'greater of two evils' in the eyes of the voters (uninformed as they may be)

[Historic NY]

12. I want someone who is going to fight like hell.......

I want someone who will not mince words
I want someone who stands up for the ideals of the Democratic Party
I want someone who can gather the masses to his/her side
But most of all I want a President who represents me.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

14. so you mean lieberman then?

he he

[Historic NY]

17. no he is a whimp.....

[DIKB]

13. Hard to say.

I'd happily support Boxer, Richardson would be good, as would Edwards, or Clark.

In the end though, I'd want a Edwards/Clark ticket, or Clark/Edwards. They have the right appeal to the average American, and what the average American can support. Military, and working class background.

[deadparrot]

15. Haven't done a TON of reasearch on this,

but right now I'm liking Clark. Granted, we have 3.5 years until this matters, but he's my preliminary favorite.

[Dude_CalmDown]

16. Kucinich

You're the one who said "want."

[MrSlayer]

18. As always, General Wesley K. Clark.

He should have been our guy last time around, we'd be much happier today.

[jojo54]

19. I'd take Richardson or Warner but..

I'm also keeping my eye on Wisc's gov Jennifer Grenholm. Not for '08 but in the future. She doesn't take shit from anyone.

[steely]

20. The Big Dawg

[Anarcho-Socialist]

22. Wes Clark n/t

[kodi]

23. I want Al Gore as my president

I think with Howard Dean as DNC Chair, Gore's prospects have risen appreciably.

Gore has a lot of support from rank and file democrats like myself who would sprint to work on his campaign and this plays right to what Dean is going to do vis-a-vis grass roots organizing for 2008.

[crispini]

24. Boxer!

I *heart* Boxer. Maybe for veep, I just wanna see her on the ticket.

[Greenpeace2005]

25. i

anyone but bush

[Joanne98]

26. Spitzer.........
