POLL: Who do you want to be the Dem nominee for prez in 2008?

[Selatius]

List others if they aren't on the list. This is to see where DU is leaning.

[GreenArrow]

1. someone who did not vote for IWR

for starters.

(And I think you mean Mark Warner rather than John Warner).

[KaryninMiami]

2. A Gore -Feingold ticket would make me very happy.

Very, very happy.

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Me too...

That would be GREAT! In so many ways!

[im10ashus]

36. Me 3.

Love them both.

[Phredicles]

38. Me 4.

A guy can dream.

I'd also be delighted to see Murtha as a VP candidate.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. I'll go for #5.

I like Wes Clark, too. But Gore is at the top, then Russ.

[Bjornsdotter]

46. I'm #6 n/t

[bryant69]

3. I am more concerned with who it isn't

And I hope it isn't Hillary Clinton.

It will be a bloody race if we put her up.

But I like Gore, Edwards, and Feingold. I could also free up my schedule if the party needs me to run (which seems unlikely as nobody has ever heard of me (including myself)).

7. i hope it's not hillary either. i think we'll lose again. she will

not get my vote in the primary, but if she is the candidate i will vote with the party.:dem:

[bryant69]

14. That's the problem there in a nutshell

If she runs, the Right Wing will fight her like it's the end of the world, and the majority of us will say "OK so we are going to go get bloodied and bruised for a woman who's only a few small steps to the right of George H. W. Bush?"

Bryant

[GreenArrow]

16. assuming it would happen

when push comes to shove, I believe there are many on the left who would vote for Hillary because she is a woman, however much they dislike her politics.

[catmother]

18. back in new york when ed koch was running for mayor, there

was a woman named Bella Abzug who was running too. my female friends voted for Bella. i felt koch could do the job better and voted for him. i had nothing against Bella. he was doing great in the house.

[bryant69]

21. I'm sure they would

But would they man phone lines for her? Send her their hard earned dough? Canvass their neighbors?

I'd vote for her too (unless a very specialized set of events happened). But would that be enough?

[GreenArrow]

23. Would it be enough? I hope we don't find out.

But I never thought Hillary could win in New York to begin with, so who knows what would happen in a national race. Two years from now the nation is going to be V-E-R-Y sick of George W. Bush and the Republicans.

[catmother]

17. you're absolutely right. i think the right wing wants her to run.

it could be her and guiliani again. Jesus H. Christ

[acmavm]

4. Clark-Feingold.

[catmother]

5. i did not vote you had john warner. he's a repub senator. i think

you meant mark warner. he would be my choice. although i really like feingold and edwards. i think warner may be more electible. now don't flame me. just my feeling.:think:

[Selatius]

6. Oh crap, lemme change that.

[catmother]

9. thanks. now i voted.

:hi:

[waiting for hope]

8. Gore/Edwards!

:bounce:

[Baconfoot]

10. Absolutely Al Gore! Anyone want a sticker?

Get 'em while they're still in stock.

[Swamp Rat]

25. YES!

:kick:

AL GORE 2008!!!

[Fridays Child]

11. Dream ticket...

[Greyskye]

12. Gore/Clark 2008!

And then Clark/? in 2012 or 2016. We could get a lot of good done in the next 12 years!

[Guaranteed]

27. Ch-ching! That's the winner. nt

[DemonFighterLives]

44. There would be 16 years there between them.

:woohoo:
We could forget about jebco!

[OnionPatch]

50. That's my dream ticket too

Well, at least my more realistic dream ticket.

My real dream ticket would be Barbara Boxer for pres and someone like Dennis Kusinich for VP, but I can't see that happening. At least not yet.

[lisainmilo]

51. THIS IS PERFECT!

This a perfect ticket ....GORE/CLARK



:dem:

[fordnut]

13. How about someone new

that doesn`t owe anyone any favors

[Selatius]

15. Let's hear your suggestion?

Unfortunately, the poll had room for 10 slots only.

[catmother]

19. that's one of the reasons i like warner. he' s not t that well known.

one term as governor of Va where he turned the state around. he's also able to work with republicans. we need to get this country united again. there's too much bipartisanship.

[electropop]

26. He did a decent job in VA, but he's DLC

[catmother]

28. guess we can't have everything in one candidate. isn't kerry

DLC?

[electropop]

33. Yes, Kerry is DLC, and his weak wobbly positions crippled him.

He should have won by a huge margin against an extremely unpopular "president." Instead, thanks to his wishy-washy positions on the war and other issues, he won by only 3%, not enough to overcome Blackwell and Diebold.

We can have it all: Gore, Boxer, Feingold, Conyers. All are brave and true to Democratic values. Yeas each may have slipped once or twice, but all have stood tall many times in the midst of numerous shameful copouts by their colleagues.

[catmother]

34. many people have told me that they voted for bush because

they couldn't stand kerry. my own husband did not vote at all because he didn't like either one.

we can forget about gore. he's made it quite clear that he's not running.

i love boxer and feingold, but their both jewish and from what i'm seeing lately anti-semitism is rampant. and feingold has been married 3 times. they'll probably use that against him.

now conyers is a great man -- one of the best in congress, but he does not speak well which would rule him out.

also they'll scream that boxer and feingold are "too liberal".

we've really got a fight on our hands.

[LuckyChoice]

45. It's a pity that

our elections are based on valuing the wrong qualities.

Leadership, ethics, doing what's right for the people, ability to assemble an outstanding team--these are the things we should be looking for in a President, not whether or not someone speaks well (or what funding they can attract).

[meldroc]

22. Gore? meh.

Gore's OK - his heart's in the right place, but he has absolutely no charisma - he couldn't muster a well-deserved landslide over Bush, enabling vote-theft to steal the election.

Feingold seems to be a decent guy - I agree with his positions the most, though I haven't seen him speak yet.

[Bretttido]

29. Maybe not in 2000

But he has a ton of charisma now, imho

[Swamp Rat]

24. Al Gore + ____________________________

BOB GRAHAM, Boxer, Clark, Conyers, Edwards, Feingold, Kucinich, et al.

:kick:

AL GORE 2008!!!

:kick:

[Catchawave]

30. Edwards/Warner !!!

Okay, back to midterms, but I do love typing Edwards/Warner!!!

[politicasista]

31. Kanye West

Cause he is so cocky that he'll demand that the media give his plattform some airtime and make sure it's fair and balanced. He'll also make sure that the votes will be counted this time and really fight back.

I hope he keeps saying "George Bush didn't care about black people" loud and clear.

[RestoreGore]

32. In this bought and sold system?

In this toxic lobbyist/corporate/military complex/DIEBOLD counts our votes run system where profit trumps principle and the will of the people? Will it really make that much of a difference if that continues? I would say Al Gore, but he is too good for that.

[Fox Mulder]

35. Definitely Al Gore.

[ThomWV]

37. Gore nt

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Wow! Well, no wonder they've all but handed it to Hillary.

Clearly, she's the front runner.

[liberaliraqvet26]

41. Gore/Clark!!!

my dream ticket

[MrSlayer]

42. Clark. But I'll take Gore/Clark.

Clark has to be in there somewhere.

[DemonFighterLives]

43. Gore 1st

Edwards would be good and Feingold too.
Hillary has been given the crown, but I think it was by b*shco.

[citizen snips]

47. John Edwards

[Radical Activist]

48. Edwards, Feingold, Obama, Kucinich, Gore.

Those would all be great. Progressive might have some very good candidates to choose from this time. I felt like that was a real problem in '04. There weren't any true progressives who opposed the war to choose from except those who had small campaigns and were considered unelectable.

[bdamomma]

49. I would rather focus on 2006 first

but we need a good candidate to take the WH in 2008 or it will be a continuing nightmare with these thugs in charge again.

[WI_DEM]

52. I'm convinced Gore won't run, so right now I'm leaning towards Edwards

but it is too early to close the deal.

[Awsi Dooger]

53. Warner

He has the easiest path to 270 electoral votes
