Fuck GD, who does the LOUNGE want in 2008?

[kay1864]

I'm only listing candidates polling at least 5%. I'd list the love of my life Al Gore... but I've pretty much given up on him running. So there.

[Phillycat]

1. Al Gore.

Sorry. :) :shrug:

[kay1864]

7. ITA

But I've come to the conclusion he's not running, based on this reply to kpete's post:


-Long time Gore supporters are not suddenly resigning from the campaigns they're in or the jobs they're at and giving no reason why. (This is indicative of a campaign machine being assembled)

-No Gore-affiliated national PACs are reactivating or soliciting funds. (Which would be indicative of a fundraising machine being assembled)

-No field offices or headquarters are being opened by a Gore PAC or campaign committee, and no low-level campaign staff are being hired to run them

-High-profile former allies of Gore are not de-endorzing their respective candidates en masse and talking up a Gore run



:cry: :grr:

[Aristus]

62. You watch. All those things will happen overnight if Gore announces.

I can't think of a true-blue Gore supporter who wouldn't drop everything to pitch in for the campaign if he announces. We'll see the swiftest acceleration from zero to race-winning since the Formula-One engine was invented.

[grace0418]

37. Don't be sorry. I pick Al Gore too.

I'm getting tempted to write him in.

[Maine-ah]

2. other

Al Gore.

or anyone other than HRC.

on edit...
actually anyone other than the three you're polling.

[LeftyMom]

3. Kucinich

[HuskerDU]

4. Seconded

[kay1864]

8. Not polling above 5%, sorry

[LeftyMom]

10. Thank goodness for write-ins, eh?

:shrug:

[DS1]

12. He will be soon enough.

Watch.

[no name no slogan]

32. He got 10%+ in Minnesota in '04

of which I am very proud to have played a part of.

Don't count him out just because the beauty contest judges say he's not pretty.

[dpbrown]

59. 17% in Minnesota, actually.

Kucinich has a great vision and makes a terrific populist.

[stuntcat]

63. Rock On, Minnesotans

:headbang:

[no name no slogan]

79. That's right. My memory sucks these days

But it IS getting better :hi:

[DS1]

11. Seconded

or thirded or fourthed, whatever


and yes, this is my serious answer

I think Denny will easily beat the 5% limit here in the lounge

[LeftyMom]

14. Easily.

:thumbsup:

[flvegan]

13. Another for Kucinich

[LeftyMom]

17. You just said that 'cause he's vegan

and good on environmental issues and pro marriage equality and great on animal issues and...

Did you get my PM? It's the end of the world over here or something! :scared:

[flvegan]

21. I like peace mongering short older dudes with bad hair that land young hotties

[LeftyMom]

24. He did alright for himself.

:thumbsup:

[no name no slogan]

81. He's also a card-carrying union man

The only "major" Democratic candidate who is, BTW.

(I'm a union guy myself, so this counts in my book)

[ThomCat]

16. Kucinich!

:patriot:

[redqueen]

27. Kucinich for me, too.

[Pool Hall Ace]

49. Yep, Kucinich.

:bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

67. That'd be preferable.

Not that I can even vote.

[john_jons]

75. He's the only one for me n/t

[Maddy McCall]

5. Gore.

I saw a teaser on MSNBC this morning that said "Tipper will support Gore if he decides to run."

Still keeping my fingers crossed.

[DS1]

6. Garofalo/Mcconaughey

A liberal with some common sense, and someone to excise the demons from the VPs office with some pot-infused naked bongo drumming.

Fuck the 'heartland'

[Connonym]

9. Don't give up on Al!

I'm not ready to let go of that dream yet. In the tragic even that Al doesn't run, I'm going with Edwards. We don't get much of a say in the primaries here in WI but almost unanimously the people I know say "anyone but Hillary" or "Edwards"

[kay1864]

15. I'm in the same boat as you

I passionately hope he'll still run. But a HuffPo blogger said he'd have to start an Exploratory Committee by Sep 1: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-boyce/al-gore-how-to-count-to-_b_57420.html

That hasn't happened.

And as the above poster demonstrated, sadly there's no sign of life at all of a would-be Gore campaign.

So like you, in the tragic event that Al doesn't run, I'm going with Edwards. And it doesn't look like Al is running.

:cry:

[LSdemocrat]

18. It's all good

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Catherine Deneuve . And I'm NOT going to share her.

Wait, what is this thread about?

[kay1864]

20. Some groupie YOU are...

It's Catherine, not Katherine. Your fan club membership has been hereby revoked.

:rofl:

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. I'm so busy thinking about her, I don't have time for spelling.

However, through the magic of the edit button, I am now back on good terms.

You're just jealous that she wants me, bad spelling and all :P

[kay1864]

23. At least I've saved you

from the embarrassment of another letter starting "Dearest Katherine" :P

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. "Dearest Katherine, I lurb you. Wai won't you anser my letters? My harte pines for theee."

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

30. I was supposedly named after her.

[triguy46]

26. We're 25 posts into a candidate poll, time for at least on of the following:

a) You're a frickin' freeper
b) You're a nazi.
c) Get a life, you freeper nazi
d) I'm putting you on ignore

[Hardrada]

69. & I am leaving DU for good. This will be my last post.

You have seen the last of me and.....

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Kucinich

[Left Is Write]

29. I'm not convinced on any of them.

This is difficult, because I can't give 100% support to any of them.

I'm waiting for another dark horse Bill Clinton to burst forth from the pack.

It could happen.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

31. Matcom!

But he to promise that posting weird-ass news stories in the Lounge will not interfere with all the presidential rigamarole...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

73. What sort of twisted wack-o ...

could he find to be his press secretary? Those would be some interesting talks.
:rofl:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

77. I think he get loads of resumes

from right here in the Lounge...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

83. Oh, yeah. WE twisted wack-o's. Right you are.

Where do I sign up?

:rofl:

[Deep13]

33. Richardson is polling double digits in a few early states. nt

[Deep13]

34. No horse in this race.--check! nt

[Anarcho-Socialist]

35. John Edwards is the only candidate to impress me so far

[kay1864]

36. Kick for evening Lounge votes

[LSK]

38. no clue

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[undeterred]

39. Senator Feingold

[kay1864]

41. He withdrew his name from the running

[undeterred]

52. And I'm writing it in.

[philosophie_en_rose]

40. Bill Clinton.

Constitution Schmonstitution. :)

[kay1864]

42. Woo-hoo!

Even better than Al Gore!

[bigwillq]

43. Of those, Edwards

But it's DK all the way for me! :bounce:

[Initech]

44. The only candidate I'd willfully cast a vote for is the guy who's not running.

[huskerlaw]

45. John Edwards

I know. You're all shocked.

[The Straight Story]

46. Bob Saget ->

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/2730

[BreweryYardRat]

47. Wes Clark.

Then Gore.

Then Kucinich.

Then Edwards or Obama.

[Shine]

48. Other: Gore. I haven't given up on him. I think he'll announce soon.

the public is being primed. Here's hoping anyway. :toast:

[cobalt1999]

50. Hillary is leading with me right now.

However, any of the three are fine and we'd kick ass with any of them.

Gore is the only one I'd get really fired up for though.

[CatholicEdHead]

51. Would prefer Kucinich

[DarkTirade]

53. I'd prefer Kucinich or Gore, but I'll settle for Edwards I guess.

I don't agree with him on every issue, but I think he'd do a good job.

[Ariana Celeste]

54. Gravel. Or Kucinich.

[TK421]

55. Al Gore, although I'm not sure he will run

but out of this poll, I have to go with Edwards :thumbsup:

[Vidar]

56. Kucinich...Edwards a distant second choice.

[stuntcat]

60. Kucinich...Edwards a distant second choice.

friggin ditto :D

Really I guess I'd like Gore for my prez. But my heart's with Dennis 100%

[Vidar]

76. Gore enters into my dreams as well.

[LaraMN]

57. I also can't drop the "Gore" thing, yet.

I'm a hopeless optimist.

[Omphaloskepsis]

70. Me too..

Gore is the only one I will actively support. I will give him money and spend my own money to travel the country to campaign for him. I will vote for the D that is on the ballot. But that is it. I'm not a fan of any of them.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

58. Wetzellbill/Kurovski!

:D

[Tektonik]

61. Kucinich

If we lived in a perfect world I'd rather have Dean as pres. w/ Feingold as VP

God I don't want Hillary or Obama to be president :cry:

[TroubleMan]

64. Kucinich.....LOL...you're trying to shut him out of the debate just like the MSM.

Pretty funny.

[HEyHEY]

65. Al Pacino!

[mvd]

66. Of those, Edwards

Overall, Kucinich.

[T_i_B]

68. Yoda

[riona]

71. Gore

[dropkickpa]

72. Meh.

None of them get my panties wet. If they're on the general election ballot, sure, I'll vote for 'em. But they are all unsavory choices.

I'd rather have Gore.

[warrior1]

74. Al Gore

[Orsino]

78. Kucinich.

Again.

[racaulk]

80. Gore

I'm still holding onto hope...

[SharonRB]

82. Al Gore.

I want the real deal and will accept no substitutes until he issues a Shermanesque statement that he's not running.
