Who would your ABSOLUTE DREAM Democratic Candidate be?

[Up2Late]

Who would your ABSOLUTE DREAM Democratic Candidate be if you could pick ANY LIVING America Democratic Politician today to run for President? (Note: Must be United States citizen and must be alive)

Mine would be Rep. Maxine Waters of California's 35th District: <http://www.house.gov/waters/>

I'm a forty-something "white" male, but I swear, if I could pick a second Mother, I'd pick Maxine, but I'd settle for Maxine as President.:hug:

1. Gore/Feingold

...my dream team.

I know you wanted only one, but I'm greedy...I want both.

Cheers

14. Dream tickets are O.K. too.

Would a "fantasy ticket" be different?:shrug:

[Nailzberg]

2. Gore/Obama! There's my ticket!

[Quixote1818]

3. Wes Clark nt

[topaz_eyes]

7. Barbara Lee n/t

4. Gore

[Diane R]

5. Gore/ Obama.

[sandnsea]

6. Barack Obama n/t

[Vickers]

8. Robert Wexler

I really dig that guy.

[tishaLA]

9. Feingold

[FrenchieCat]

10. Obama/Clark will be the ticket.......That I dream of

and may become real.

[Emit]

11. Can it be a little bit of this one and a little bit of that, or a whole lotta this one and...

well, you get the idea?

[Up2Late]

27. Has to be a REAL living Amrican Democrat...

...we have to have SOME rules here. Because with out rules, to paraphrase Bill Murry in "Ghost Busters," "This country is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria."

[mathewsleep]

12. me/jesus

i think as jesus as my vp, i'd do well.

[Up2Late]

29. Has to be a currently living person, so unless you know something you're not telling us...

...Jesus is out, sorry.

[crickets]

13. Gore. -nt

[Straight Shooter]

15. Gore/Clark.

With Howard Dean as Secretary of Yeaaarrrrggghhh! :)

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Al Gore.

Dream Ticket, Gore/Feingold. As upthread.

Bill Hicks is dead, but I would have voted for him, too.

[jackson_dem]

17. John Edwards

[gmudem]

18. Russ Feingold.

No doubt.

[Straight Shooter]

30. Feingold trash-mouthed Edwards.

Sadly, he did. I have lost a great deal of respect for Feingold for doing that. It hurt Edwards' campaign when he needed all the support he could get.

[gmudem]

31. I think it was a mistake when he did that

But I'm not going to freak out and call him all kinds of names just because he didn't like my candidate. He has been a true liberal fighter for all his years in the Senate and the people of Wisconsin are lucky to have him.

19. George Carlin

[topaz_eyes]

23. That would make the state of the union address more entertaining.

He'd probably be a decent President, actually.

[donheld]

20. Anyone who would totally clean the clocks of ALL republicans for

a very very long time.

[gateley]

21. Joe Biden. nt

[Whisp]

22. Cynthia McKinney.

[AndreaCG]

24. Wes Clark

It would go a long way toward assuaging my dislike of Obama if he was to pick Wes as his VP. Obama desperately needs someone with Clark's foreign policy experience to balance the ticket. And Wes will help bring in the crossover independent/disaffected Republican vote. He also has splendid anti-Iraq credentials. And his speaking ability has grown tremendously since the 2004 election thanks to his stints on Faux and MSNBC. I hardly see him on Olbermann anymore though. Maybe because Olbermann is focusing on the election as opposed to the war?

[jannyk]

25. Al Gore or John Edwards nt

[Broken_Hero]

26. I have to say it, Gore/Clark

:D :hi:

[Seabiscuit]

28. Gore/Edwards

The problem is, neither would want to be Vice President.

[Control-Z]

32. Al Gore n/t

[PurityOfEssence]

33. Jan Schakowsky or Pete Stark

Sigh.

[Recursion]

34. Roland Aranjo

great, great guy

[Up2Late]

35. kick n/t

:kick:

[Fox Mulder]

36. Al Gore/Dennis Kucinich

Paul Wellstone would've been my #1 if he was still alive. :(
