Fresh Face Presidential Poll '08

[ruggerson]

If you had to choose between candidates who have never run for President before...

(and yeah, I know all the jokes about how Hillary has been running her whole life)

[bklyncowgirl]

1. I voted Feingold but I could also go bigtime for Schweitzer nt

[rurallib]

9. Ditto.

[BattyDem]

2. You know, if my wildest fantasies came true

and we had a Russ Feingold/John Conyers ticket - and they won - I honestly believe that true democracy would thrive in this country like never before!

[ruggerson]

3. My fantasy ticket: Schweitzer/Feingold

A wildly popular anti Washington governor from a Western state paired with a smart, true blue progressive with impeccable reform credentials.

I can't think of one Republican, including McCain, who could beat them.

6. I honestly don't know a lot about Schweitzer

do you have a web site link? :-)

13. Thanks!

:toast:

17. But if Schweitzer is so anti-washington wouldn't he destroy Feingold

before allowing him on the ticket?

(personally I am tired of "outsider" "anti-washington" -- it is what got us stuck with Bushboy)

4. I am guessing Russ will win...

[NJ Democrats]

5. Russ! Russ! Russ!

Go Russ!!!

[catmother]

7. i had been looking at warner but i voted for feingold.

[wisteria]

8. By what stretch of the imagination is Hillary a new face? n/t

[Armstead]

10. Or Bill Richardson?

More of the same old same old.

I voted for Feingold.

[ruggerson]

14. By the criteria of the poll

which is simply that they have never run for president before.

[Swamp Rat]

11. Russ Feingold n/t

[ristruck]

15. Kucinich

Am I missing something or does not Dennis Kucinich represent all the core beliefs of the progressive movement and from what I read he seems to be the the kind of person this country really needs right now. Honesty. Clear and consistent ideas. I am a new convert so if I am missing something please let me know.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Yes, you are missing something.

:D ... just kidding.

Actually, I voted for Kucinich in the last primary, but THIS POST asked for "fresh face." ;)

[politicasista]

18. Out of that list I like Obama. Back to 2006 n/t.

[cascadiance]

19. Feingold for me, but Boxer should probably be added to the list...

I'd love a Feingold/Boxer ticket, but something tells me that a Feingold/Clark ticket or something like that would be needed to win.

[DanCa]

20. Actually I am not happy with any of those choices.

I have no problem voting for them if they were candidates mind you, I am just not excited by them.

[OneBlueSky]

21. Al Gore! . . . n/t
