Poll question: Gore Clinton Kerry
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 05:53 AM by Perky
It would seem we mght be headed for a Texas-sized "cage match" (sorry...coffee is still brewing)

It is conceivable that all three get in the race for 2008. This could get very bloody and could wind up in a deadlocked convention.

in this three-way race who would you want to see win?

3. If Al Gore decides to run...
I will run across the country with Al Gore placards pasted to me in order to help him win.

6. Gore. Feingold. Whoever's running as the Green.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to meet most of the
folks who might run for President, and I've certainly heard
the rest of them. And I'm tired of playing the game of "We're
just like the Republicans only nicer!" that so many of the
centrist Democrats play.

After voting for the Democrat for essentially my entire life,
I was going to implement this policy in 2004 and vote Green,
but at the urging of a lot of people, I caved-in to pressure
and ended-up voted for Kerry. But I'm done with that.

So, in 2008, based on the data in-hand now:

* I'd love to vote for Feingold; he is, by far, the closest
Democrat to my views. If he is the candidate, I will support
him with my heart and soul and work my tail off for him..

* But I think Al Gore is the strategically correct choice and
he's sufficiently close to my views that I have no reservations
in enthusiastically, strongly supporting him, *AS I DID IN THE
2000 PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION SEASONS*. I think the poetry
of kicking the Republicans' asses with the fellow they cheated
out of the office in 2000 is too sweet to pass up, and I think
this will resonate strngly with a large swath of the American
people. Plus, Gore is an even better candidate than he was in
2000, when I think he really didn't understand the depths to
which his enemies would go to politically murder him; he's
pretty clear on that topic now ;-).

* But after that, there are no current Democratic contenders
worth spit, and if they deliver up to us a Clinton or a Biden
or quitter Kerry, we really need to finally send the message
that the left wing of the party isn't to be trifled with. So
if it turns out to be any of those clowns, I will not be
voting for them *NO MATTER WHAT*. And I will not care that
"this is the election that makes-or-breaks it all", because
I've heard that in every election since forever.

How did you decide who to group with whom? Based on what?
