1. Bush for Nader!
If anyone can help re-select Bush, it's Ralph Nader! So, it's only fitting that George endorse him, and even fund his campaign.

20. Douglas Wilder
Not sure who he has endorsed yet. He would make a great VP candidate. Just a thought.

7. But he's probably more of a Clark supporter...
...which of course would play right into the hands of the evildoers who run the country now. But then again, Clinton did actually the elections he ran in.

6. this is probably naive of me
but I would rather have Jimmy Carter more than Bill Clinton. I mean both would be fabulous but if I could pick one it would be Carter. He has always been a sentimental favorite of mine. He is also popular with African-Americans and Democrats of all stripes.

9. I would agree with you for the following reason:
I have WAY more respect for Carter than, for instance, Clinton. I think Carter is much more principled and honest and his endorsement would carry that much more weight with me for that reason. From a perspective of how much influence it would have with the general public, however, I think a Clinton endorsement would be preferable...that's just the pragmatic side of me talking.

8. I don't want Clinton to endorse anyone
it will split the party thanks to Gore's endorsement of Dean.

11. George HW Bush.
Can you even imagine, the whole world would turn upside-down
:wow:

I'd like to see it just for the effect. And no, my candidate is not his son.

13. Paul Wellstone
Who once implored us to: "Be the change you believe in."

No one embodies the changes necessary to heal the nation of the ills visited upon us by the BFEE like Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
