3. Concur.



After all the money she has spent on him she ought to get some sort of a return on her investment.

2. Anyone
Any one of your choices - with the snarkiness included - would be a hell of an improvement from who is there now ... or who any of the R's would select.

Can you agree on that?

26. Seriously?
You think that Joe Lieberman as VP would not be an improvement from Cheney? The voting record - despite Lieberman's support of the war - certainly tells me that Lieberman would be a dramatic improvement. Hell, Satan would be close to an improvement.

5. Rupert Murdoch.
If we're buying into the underlying premise of this thread, let's really go whole hog.

7. I said Hillary and Obama
Of course I win, no doubt that they are the chosen ones. Resistance is futile.

8. Very Snide Push poll
Since when is the Media not backing Hilary? I guess you don't read the Wall Street Journal or watch CNBC.

11. WTF? If I wanted it to be a push poll I would've put Oprah in there. Stop whining again!
Every choice is legitimate and a good possibility, although I never dreamed that Lieberman would run away with it like he is so far. That'll really suck if Obama picks him, although I guess they go way back, being his mentor and all, so who's to blame him.

20. whining?
I didn't post the whiney topic du jour
and YOU have a bad set of blinders on if you in any way think the media is pro Obama over your candidate.

But I expect no less from a desperate campaign.

15. Push poll? No, here is a "push poll" question.
Would you be more, or less likely to support Obama if you knew he sold cocaine to school children out of an ice cream truck?.......That's a fuckin' "push poll".

12. Hey back!
I loved the "Goddess of Peace" post.

Knew that would draw a crowd. :-)

I'm relieved to see the primary wars are here in full swing.

My guy gets a little of your "special brand of heat" taken off him for a while. Hahahaha.

17. Because They Were So Hard on Clinton All Year Long
Oh wait, they were tossing her softballs all year until she started tripping over herself and her incompetent staff. Clinton has withered at the mildest of criticism and proven that her reputation was not only unearned, but the only thing that got her this far. If she was not Bill Clinton's wife, she would be in Chris Dodd land.

16. Oprah will be Obama's Dick Cheney. Can you imagine the sea of Oprah memos
during his first two weeks in office?

18. If he (or anyone) chose Lieberman, I would either not vote or a write-in before I would give that
piece of crap Lieberman a vote....

But if Obama chose someone like Oprah - he'd win in a landslide.....

21. Indie Joe is pushing hard for John McCain
Lieberman endorsed and is campaigning hard for John McCain. Why the hell would anyone ask him to join a Dem ticket?

22. Richardson, although you really don't care about the discussion
Edited on Mon Dec-17-07 02:54 PM by Capn Sunshine
The whole thing is snide and childish, plain from the editorializing below each candidates name.

What , this morning's 44 meeting decided to bring up Lieberman?

24. I think Richardson is a fair choice

Dude, you've been doing nothing but whining all day long. That is not good for your health. The poll is just fine, plenty of realistic choices in it including every Democratic candidate and a some other realistic choices like Pelosi, Murtha, Schumer, and Lieberman who just happened to have run for VP before and who also just happens to be Obama's close friend and mentor. Now if you can't handle a realistic poll like this one just because you don't like the results, then I suggest you invest in some of these:

25. I'd worry a little about Richardson in the debates, but I think he's a good choice
in other ways.
