69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

[Ian_walker]

The nomination is a statistical dead heat.

And the Democratic Party voters say it is time to start talking DREAM TICKET

Poll Figures

DREAM TICKET is chance to real bash the NeoConMen

UNITY is what terrifies NeoConMen

You know UNITY makes sense because NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words:

DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?

Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound guerrilla sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room?

Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency.

It means a raft of candidates for both presidency, representatives and senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America.

It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

UNITY is not just a win. It is a LANDSLIDE.

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change.

They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half fat liberal McCain. If you want a liberal in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democrat, Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET

[Bigleaf]

1. 69% of Democratic Voters will be disappointed

[Ian_walker]

3. Kind of thing a McCain supporter would say

If you think about what your post realy says...

[Bigleaf]

8. It's the truth. Why would Obama want her on his ticket when she says

he's not qualified? Fantasy.

[City Lights]

15. And for the same reason, why would she want him on hers?

Who would want such an inexperienced person only a heartbeat away from it all? Could only be Hillary "I'm so confused" Clinton.

[Ian_walker]

25. Because UNITY is more important than your or your candidates ego

Same reply as above

[City Lights]

30. Unity is a fantasy.

Only one person gets to be president. No one votes for the vice presidential candidate.

[Ian_walker]

35. That is what the NeoConMen hope. That is whay it gives them nightmares

16 Years. 16 YEARS! SIXTEEN YEARS!

[Zhade]

201. Thanks, but 8 years of another Clinton gives ME nightmares.

I'll pass on the lying, fearmongering power-hungry wannabe-cheat who thinks she gets to pick her presidential powers.

Looks like a majority of Dems have, too! Woohoo!

[Ian_walker]

218. DREAM TICKET is the gift that just keeps giving...

... Nightmares to NeoConMen

DREAM TICKET you know it makes sense!

Terrify a NeoConMan today. While Drinking coffee in the Mall say to your Friend DREAM TICKET. Even if you whisper it a NeoConMen will hear it clear across the other side of the Mall. Try it really works.

And I do love giving NeoConMen Nightmares. And winding up the Rove trolls on this forum is just Soooo Much fun! :D

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum really is fun! :D

The NeoConMen hate Obama
The NeoConMen hate Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Kerry
The NeoConMen hate Bill Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Gore
The NeoConMen hate JFK
The NeoConMen hate Carter
The NeoConMen even hate their very own McCain
The NeoConMen hate every single Democratic Party candidate they always have and always will.

HATE is all they do. Winding up the Rove trolls on this forum IS Soooo Much fun!

They account for less than 30% of voters and declining. They have some loud mouthpieces like Fox and Talk Radio and the rest of the NeoConMen's media.

Their time is ended.

All they have left is Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun! :D

UNITY trumps hate every time. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun! :D

That is what the United States of America is based on.

And America is sick of them. They are sick of the NeoConMen damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of the NeoConMen raping our planet. The sick of the NeoConMen's Tax Debt. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
UNITY will beat hate! Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun! :D

[niceypoo]

219. Bill Clinton was one of the most effective presidents in History

Obamas whole campaign is based on hating Bill Clintons family.

[Ian_walker]

226. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

It is a strategy of all Democratic Party supporters pulling in the same direction.

[indimuse]

256. nicely put.

...

[Ian_walker]

271. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

UNITY is a dream

"I have a dream..."
"...one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers..."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

The Dream Ticket is that dream made flesh.

[indimuse]

276. what an amazing visual..huh?

:)

[Ian_walker]

298. It is very Artistic...

Now make one that promotes Democratic Party UNITY

It needs to point out that:
UNITY removes division.
UNITY solves any impasse.
UNITY heals all wounds and hurts of the primary

Then make one that says
UNITY is a Strategy

UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is 16 years.
UNITY is a strategic momentum.
UNITY is Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is Democratic Party Senate
UNITY will bury the NeoConMen.

Now that is a Strategy

Once you have made those two, I will give you 2 more, this is about UNITY

[Straight Shooter]

109. Wrong.

Edwards was the only thing worth voting for on the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

McCain can only be saved by his choice of veep, considering the speculation McCain will croak or go totally senile within a year.

[Ian_walker]

112. McCain's health is clearly an issue, The growth on his face has enlarged.

I pointed it out in a thread about 3 weeks back

[Straight Shooter]

116. The man has one foot in the grave, and the other is slipping.

I did not see your other post, but the GOP is looking for their ideal candidate as the veep this time around. Hmmm, how about Kay Bailey Hutchinson? :D :P

[hueyshort]

118. "Dream Ticket" my Ass. This is another Rove Tactic

Hillary needs Wesley Clark in order to beat McCain. Two minorities make for a weak ticket.

[Ian_walker]

120. DREAM TICKET it gives NeoConMen Nightmares

DREAM TICKET it gives NeoConMen Nightmares. It is the gift that just keeps giving

16 Years. 16 YEARS! SIXTEEN YEARS!

[formernaderite]

153. hate to break it to you-

but women are NOT a minority in this country.

[Ian_walker]

174. NeoConMen often make that same mistake about women

Great reply should have spotted that one myself "Oh the embarrassment"

[Auntie Bush]

286. I like that kind of thinking.

[Ian_walker]

287. Women are not minority. There are more women voters than men...

As at least two people have already pointed out.

[peaches2003]

137. She has every reason to want him

Her negatives are so high and she is so polarizing that Hillary is not going to get anymore voters than she already has and it's not enough. She NEEDS Obama to bring independents and his supporters to her. Only thing is, Barack's Dem voters are not going to vote for her and will sit out this election. Obama gains nothing being her VP.

[Ian_walker]

141. Dream Ticket is what the Democratic Party Voters want

They want that Democratic Party landslide.
The want to bury the NeoConmen.
They want to be at the Democratic Party conference shouting "16 Years. 16 YEARS! SIXTEEN YEARS!"

[City Lights]

155. My point was that her own reason for declaring him unqualified for

the presidency should also disqualify him from the vice presidency, since one never knows when or if a vice president will need to ascend to the presidency. In short, she's full of shit.

[Ian_walker]

229. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

It means all Democratic Party supporters need to start talking UNITY.

[Auntie Bush]

288. So are some posters around here! If the shoe fits...wear it! You look good in it.

If Obama has 8 years of experience as VP...he'll be in a perfect position
to win the presidency. No way he couldn't win eight years from now! It's a sure bet he'd be the first black President. If he wins the nomination now...maybe he'll be president...maybe not. If he does win...maybe Dems win the presidency 8 years from now...maybe no! I'd rather have a sure win.

[Ian_walker]

295. The important thing is UNITY

UNITY is what will win
UNITY will mean a landslide Democratic Party Presidency
UNITY will give the Democratic Party Strategic Momentum
UNITY will give the Democratic Party control of the House of Representatives
UNITY will give the Democratic Party control of the Senate
UNITY will bury the NeoConMen

[AlinPA]

169. Yep, it's the voters who matter, not candidates' egos. With the trashing

Clinton has done to Obama, his supporters are pissed.

[Ian_walker]

228. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

All Democratic Party supporters will have to get behind the Democratic Party Nomination, and if you are a real Democratic Party supporter you will do.

[AlinPA]

233. It is about voters (The Democratic party), not the candidates. They will decide how much to unite.

That's why candidates trashing each other is not good for Democrats. That's my only point.

[Ian_walker]

236. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

Unity is indevisable so you cannot decide "how much to unite" it is an interesting tactic you are using, straight out of the NeoConMen's handbook called dividing the Democratic party 101...

UNITY is strategy and it beats tactical ego trips hands down every time.

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy over anyone elses.

And DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some tactic of a candidates or their supporters ego.

I want UNITY.
UNITY is the NeoConMen having living Nightmare
UNITY is 16 years
UNITY is a Democratic party landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate landslide
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.
What was that tactic you were on about?

[AlinPA]

252. I'm a Democrat. Your implying that I am a neocon is an insult.

People's perceptions are what matter in politics. That's how people decide their choices of candidates and policies when voting. Not based on some strategy handed down. It is simply not how Democrats make their decisions, otherwise we would only have one candidate with people going around saying "UNITE, UNITE".

[Ian_walker]

254. UNITY is about loyalty

It is about getting behind the Democratic party Nomination no matter who was your candidate.

UNITY is strategy and strategy beats tactics hand over fist that is why the NeoConMen have nightmares about it.

[Zhade]

199. She's inexperienced and LOSING, so it's not like she gets a say in the matter.

NT!

[Ian_walker]

248. UNITY is what gives NeoConMen Nightmares...

I love giving Nightmares to NeoConMen

DREAM TICKET you know it makes sense!

UNITY the gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares
DREAM TICKET another gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares

Terrify a NeoConMan today. While Drinking coffee in the Mall say to your Friend DREAM TICKET. Even if you whisper it a NeoConMen will hear it clear across the other side of the Mall. Try it really works.

And I do love giving NeoConMen Nightmares. And winding up the Rove trolls on this forum is just Soooo Much fun!

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum really is fun!

The NeoConMen hate Obama
The NeoConMen hate Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Kerry
The NeoConMen hate Bill Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Gore
The NeoConMen hate JFK
The NeoConMen hate Carter
The NeoConMen even hate their very own McCain
The NeoConMen hate every single Democratic Party candidate they always have and always will.

Their time is ended.

All they have left is Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun!

UNITY trumps hate every time. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun!

That is what the United States of America is based on.

And America is sick of them. They are sick of the NeoConMen damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of the NeoConMen raping our planet. The sick of the NeoConMen's Tax Debt. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was.

[PetraPooh]

22. Exactly, if he picks her as VP, I will seriously question his ...sanity.

[Zachstar]

28. I will as well.

Also keep in mind the polls said they wanted Clinton to continue even if she lost Texas and Ohio.

The dream ticket idea is media bullshit. It will not happen and whoever tries to extend their hand will quickly alienate the many supporters behind the campaign.

I said I will not vote for Clinton.. That includes her as VP. I have no double standards here.

[Ian_walker]

48. Check the first pinned topic in this section of the forum

You will get behind who ever is the Democratic Party candidate. No if buts or maybes.

Your candidate will tell you to do so. And if you are a real Democratic Party suporter and not some random Rove Troll you will do so.

[Zachstar]

56. Um no..

Got that? Good.. I am not going to vote for Clinton just so I can post on DU. And the admin team ought to check out people like you for a banning due to making threats like that.

And no I am not some damn Rove Troll. I have been on DU for years... do some research!

[Ian_walker]

62. Um yes

And I have not threatened you.

[PetraPooh]

80. Exactly wrong, the admins can force us not to comment about Hillary, but

they cannot force us to vote for a ticket that she is on.

[Ian_walker]

96. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

Unity is far more important than ego.

[Egnever]

100. Hillary gone is what wins

I don't want her anywhere near the presidency EVER!. I find her vile.

Unity can kiss my ass. She is poison and if she is on his ticket I will be hard pressed to vote for even that. I am crystal clear on what she is and IMHO she IS a monster. Clinton doesn't know what unity is. She is the opposite of unity.

[Ian_walker]

103. Democratic party supporters get behind the candidate

That is what UNITY is about. The question you have to ask your self is are you a Democratic Party supporter?

[PetraPooh]

121. I agree.

[Ian_walker]

250. UNITY is what wins. No candidate can win without it.

Any candidate who does not sign up to Democratic Party UNITY will loose the nomiation.

NO IF BUTS OR MAYBES.

Delegates will not vote for a candidate who is against Democratic Party UNITY.

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

It is a quick draw competition and Clinton is going for the gun.

[indimuse]

257. good point.

...:)

[Zhade]

202. Fuck you, you don't tell people how they vote.

If you actually read and understood the thread you mentioned, it merely says not to tear down the nominee.

Since that won't be Clinton, we'll be safe to continue revealing her nasty side. I mean, when she doesn't put it out there herself.

[Ian_walker]

303. The Democratic Party voters and their Delegates will decide

And there is still a third of the votes to go.

[Ian_walker]

24. Because UNITY is more important than your or your candidates ego

[CatnHat]

215. The truth is

it's about politics and votes. That's the only reason. It a fucking stalemate; and the only way to break the stalemate is putting the two on same ticket. I don't like it, I am a Clinton supporter. Hillary would be far wiser to chose Wesley Clark. It's a shame that an upstart like Obama is destroying the democratic party. He knows he not ready, it's his ego and his delusional fans that are causing this mess. Obama should leave the democratic party and start his own party, and see how far he would get. Why not, his supporters don't support the party, they support only the man. Obama is not good for the party. He is a divider, not a "uniter" period.

[Ian_walker]

302. The Strategic UNITY Speech solves all problems

Both candidates are eminently qualified to be the Democratic Party Nomination for President

[bluestateguy]

2. I could live with Hillary as Vice President

Not my top choice, but if it has to be done to unify the party, we should take one for the team.

[Ian_walker]

12. Get Obama to make the UNITY speech then

Chris Weigant originaly posted the UNITY speech as an Obama speech but Obama waited too long, check for your self. I would prefer the Strategic winning UNITY speech by both candidates but either will do it.

Below I have rewritten the quick draw competition version of the Chris Weigant speech (follow this link for the original version of the speech)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-weigant/how-obama-could-wrap-it-u_b_85595.html

I call it the quick draw competition because the Candidate who first makes this speech wins the the unity and undecided voters of the Democratic party and with this middle ground the Democratic nomination for President. They also win the Super Delegates because they are the long term members of the Democratic Party and will vote for the Unity Candidate.

THE TACTICAL WINNING SPEECH

"I would like to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Our party is now pretty equally divided between myself and Senator (Obama/Clinton). The race is about tied. We are obviously the two strongest candidates this party has to offer to win the White House in 2008. We both have our relative strengths, and much of the electorate is genuinely conflicted over who to select in the voting booth. Some say this is fracturing our party, but I don't believe that is true. The Republican Party is divided because of antipathy among their different factions -- but I'm proud to say that our party is conflicted over who is the best between two very good choices.

So I would like to take this opportunity to offer Senator (Obama/Clinton). the Vice Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket, should I be nominated for President. Should they be nominated, and should they offer the same to me, I am publicly saying I would accept that as well. I think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. I challenge my opponent to do the same."
Cue Instant pandemonium! Among loud cheers and a few groans from supporters of the candidate that did not make the speech.

This version of the speech leaves the contest open but runs it without internecine war and unites the whole Democratic Party. I wonder if Pelossi, Howard Dean, Chris Redfern, George Stephanopoulos and the growing number of other Democrats are mediating how the deal can be done? A joint non aggression pact of not putting out tactical version of the Chris Weigant speech instead to put out this strategic version of the speech.

THE STRATEGIC WINNING SPEECH
"We would like instead to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Should the other be nominated, we are publicly saying we would accept that as well. We think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. We challenge our party to do the same."
Cue very long standing ovation

The choice is there for the candidates to take.

That it will be a Democrat who is next President of the USA there is no doubt.

But it has become a quick draw competition, to see which one says the magic two words first:

[anigbrowl]

13. Yeah, but could Obama?

[bluestateguy]

18. History is full of presidents and vice presidents who disliked each other

Adams and Jefferson (they reconciled years later)
Jackson and Calhoun
FDR and "Cactus" Jack Garner
FDR and Henry Wallace
JFK and LBJ

[musicblind]

54. You could add Reagan and Bush to that list!

[Ian_walker]

227. UNITY is the winning strategy

You can tell that by how much the NeoConMen fear it.

[noel711]

59. But none of the above-mentioned

teams had a spouse who was a former president.

[Ian_walker]

231. I do not think that is very relevant. Strategy is what wins. And UNITY is strategy

It has some nice tactical flavours but there are plenty of former presidents to aask questions.

UNITY is Strategy not a tactic. And Strategy beats tactics hands down, every time.

[Cha]

67. So? Much of history

sucked, too.

[Ian_walker]

249. UNITY is the winning strategy

UNITY is a real strategy

UNITY is 16 years in power. What is it you offer?

[Ian_walker]

289. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

But they need to Sh*t and get off the potty.

Obama has to start talking Unity or the Democratic party will start to see him as disuniting the Democratic Party.

[woolldog]

23. No way.

The problem for Obama with that arrangement is that she would constantly be trying to usurp his power. She would have her own base, advisers from Bill's administration working for her; she's extremely secretive and would probably keep information from him and feel little loyalty to him. It could be a huge potential disaster in the Constitutional sense, with the VP constantly trying to overrule the President and using the resources of the government to achieve her political and personal ambitions, to the embarrassment of the president (look at Filegate for example, her fingerprints were all over that)

It could turn out to be a real nightmare for him.

The number 1 quality in a VP is loyalty. And by the way she's run this race she has no loyalty to party, only to herself.

[Ian_walker]

51. UNITY is about loyalty

If either or Both candidates make UNITY speech it binds them.

[goclark]

161. Didn't they both sign off on the FL and MI vote?

I wouldn't trust HC to keep her word on anything.

[Zhade]

203. Yes. We see what her word is worth - nothing.

NT!

[Ian_walker]

225. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

Unity is what will bury the NeoConMen

[Ian_walker]

300. UNITY solves the impasse. Unity heals all wounds.

The Obama campaign is now talking UNITY they think Clinton could be their VP

[PetraPooh]

82. Wise and well said reply.

[surfin]

42. No, let us end the bush clinton hold on the white house

weed out the clinton bushes.

I am a strong Obama supporter but I will not vote for that ticket because it will be all a lie about change.

[Ian_walker]

49. If you are Democratic Party supporter you will support the Democratic Candidate

And their choice of VP. No if buts or maybes.

[Abacus]

58. Ditto. While not my preference, I could get excited about Obama/Clinton

if it means we can get to work on the GE immediately.

[goclark]

220. Wouldn't love it but if he said it was OK

I would support it.

Would he be able to hire some of his child hood friends to stand behind him night and day so they can watch his back~don't trust her, she would do anything.

[Ian_walker]

230. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

UNITY is the real strategy

So far only one candidate has said the Dream Ticket is on the cards.

Clinton has been saying it is the way to go and recognises that the voters want it.
Obama needs to start talking UNITY or he will loose.

UNITY is about both candidates and their supporters, uniting behind both candidates and the Democratic Party to pursue a strategic victory of 16 years in power; in the Presidency, Senate and Congress.

Below I have rewritten the quick draw competition version of the Chris Weigant speech (follow this link for the original version of the speech)

That it will be a Democrat who is next President of the USA there is no doubt.

But it has become a quick draw competition, to see which one says the magic two words first:

DREAM TICKET

And Clinton's finger is a hairs breadth from the trigger,

Because the polarize-able supporters are decided and wedded to their camp. Obama-ite or Clinton-ite. Those will stay with their candidate. The people the contest is now being fought over are the vast majority of unity Democrats. They sway one then they sway the other. What sways them most is punishing those who attack Democrats. Voters showed in New Hampshire and Michigan what can happen to a candidate or camp who is not out to unite. They also punished Obama in Texas and Ohio for assuming he was more important than the party.

Howard Dean has said he does not want to be at the Democratic convention mediating the candidate. The Super Delegates will ignore all the fake democrats the GOP sent to game the Democratic Party nomination in Red States and they will vote their conscience and vote for the Democratic Party Unity Candidate whom so ever that may be.

The first Candidate to say they will take Democratic party down the unity road to the DREAM TICKET will win all those voters in the middle.

Because; what true democrat, would be satisfied with just Four or Eight years of Democrat Rule?

That is the reason NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words:

DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?

Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound guerrilla sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room?

Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency.

It means a raft of candidates for both presidency, congress and senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America.

It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change.

They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half fat liberal McCain. If you want a liberal in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democrat, Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET!

Because that would not be just a tactical victory of a four to eight year presidency. That would be the STRATEGIC victory of a Democratic Age. That is why "Obama-Clinton or a Clinton-Obama ticket." is the Ticket that gives the NeoConMen nightmares. And the first Candidate to articulate that they will move the Democratic party to the DREAM TICKET will win that candidacy.

No If Buts or Maybes THE CANDIDATE WHO SAYS IT WILL BE the Democrat Candidate and the next President of the United States of America.

232. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

UNITY is a strategy. Ego is just tactics.

89. I agree.

4. Dream ticket?

In whose dream?

Sounds like a nightmare....

Two people working 'together' who don't trust one another.

Is that your idea of a 'dream'?

[Ian_walker]

37. It is only a nightmare for the NeoConMen

Both candidates have said different to you. Are you saying that you do not trust both of them? Because that is what it sounds like. Is something slipping?

[noel711]

52. I dont' trust one of them..

She has proven that she is not trustworthy
by undercutting her democratic brother.

How can he trust her when she openly declared
that McCain was more suited to be president
than he is?

Knife in the back?

[surfin]

43. Nightmare ticket more like it

Obama/Monster, no way.

[Ian_walker]

46. Here is nightmare for you NeoConMen

16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!

That is the reason NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words:

DREAM TICKET

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET!

[musicblind]

57. The dream of the "vast majority" (directly quote from newsweek)

of the democratic party. A nightmare for republicans and republican supporters however ...

[Ian_walker]

68. Republicans will be left with only 30% of the vote

Most polls give the Dream Ticket a two to one victory at the GE.

NeoConmen will be left with a bare rump.

[Eurobabe]

76. Wet dream ticket, more like it. They hate each other now.

Ain't gonna happen.

[Ian_walker]

98. Both candidates have said they trust the other.

Both candidates will get behind the Democratic Party candidate who so ever that is. The question is will you?

[Eurobabe]

105. I don't know what drugs you are taking

but it is very clear that these two do not like each other. Hillary is trying to hitch her tainted star to Obama, he however, does not need her.

[Ian_walker]

127. NeoConMen might like to dream that I prefer to give them Nightmares

16 years. 16 YEARS! SIXTEEN YEARS!

[yourguide]

5. and about 90% of Obama supporters

do NOT.

[eleny]

9. That's how I feel

We don't need another Cheneyesque Veep.

[Zhade]

205. No doubt! Cheney says HE gets to pick his powers, too.

NT!

[Ian_walker]

40. Poll say you are wrong. Now where is you counter argument?

I am waiting.

[yourguide]

47. Here you go, and we're off

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4973202


My apologies...based on this poll it appears 96% of Obama supporters dont want to see this happen. I figured 90% might be a stretch but as it turns out, not so much.

[musicblind]

64. No, that says that 90% of Obama supporters on DU

do not support this ticket. I hope you understand that DU is a fringe organization that does not represent reality. It represents the most radical .001 percent of the democratic party. If even THAT much. All polls have proven you wrong. That would be like my taking a poll in my own house hold, asking how cool the Bryant family was on a scale of 1 to 10. It would be horribly biased.

Here are some MORE polls that shoot down your skewed, biased, unscientific poll from DU.

These are from CNN's OWN exit polls last Tuesday!

Ohio
73% of democrats would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee
66% of democrats would be satisfied if Obama is the nominee

Texas
71% of democrats would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee
65% of democrats would be satisfied with Obama as the nominee

Rhode Island
75% of democrats would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee
63% of democrats would be satisfied with Obama as the nominee

and now… in Vermont… which is extremely hostile territory for Clinton and very pro-Obama…

Vermont
70% of democrats would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee
82% of democrats would be satisfied with Obama as the nominee


These numbers, as well as every other poll taken on the subject PROVE you wrong. There is no wiggle room. DU is an echo chamber that serves as a place for the most radical to express their points of view because we need a place like this... since society does not accept or agree with us. I admit that I am a HARDCORE democrat and do not represent the real world, however these polls DO represent the real world. The mere IDEA that you would use a poll taken on DU to demonstrate anything what-so-ever shows a great intellectual failing.

[yourguide]

72. I can assure you

what shows a great intellectual failing is you underestimating the Obama supporters. I suggested that the bulk of Obama supporters would not find this an appropriate solution.

The truth is I am so passionate about this candidate, as are many, and the clintons have done such a smear job on him that many of use do not feel like it would be a good thing.

Sorry my friend, Obama has brought so many new voters into the process that I think many of the supporters would have a hard time with this.

You should keep checking the poll numbers though, they also showed HRC would win Iowa and lose NH.

[musicblind]

78. So why then are so many Obama supporters liars?

Your argument simply does not hold up. If you are not able to see DU for what it is, and realize that it does not represent the real world... rational discussion is lost on you. It's like trying to to explain religious understanding to a fanatical baptist. Once people are 100% convinced that they are right and no amount of evidence can persuade them otherwise all is lost in any conversation. There is no point. You can't change the mind of religion, and you can't change the mind of fanatical supporters who do not believe in things like "statistics" "polls" and "reality".

From the webster dictionary... Faith is: the "firm belief in something for which there is no proof"

Having blind faith has never helped society.

It is similar to people who are against evolution and point out places where science may have been off in the past as proof that science is not correct now.

To claim that 90% of Obama supporters would not favor a Obama/Clinton ticket because all of your friends on DU (an anecdotal fallacy) feel that way, and then claim that all the scientific evidence that proves you wrong is not true because scientist have been off a little about things in the past... that looks disturbing to any outsider. You should understand this. I do not believe that Obama's supporters follow a cult because I like Obama. But I do think that some people on DU live in an ethnocentric environment where they are unable to comprehend a place where people do not feel as they do.

[yourguide]

79. and why are so many HRC supporters

pompous creeps?

I didnt even bother reading past your subject line...you are a waste of "teh internets"

[Ian_walker]

88. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

It is about getting behind the Democratic Party candidate whom so ever that may be

[yourguide]

90. ROFL

not when a dem decides McCain would be a better leader than her democratic opponent.

Sorry, when your candidate starts showing some unity instead of scorched earth, then you can come back and talk to me and many of us about unity.

[Ian_walker]

173. I support BOTH candidates. I support UNITY. I support SIXTEEN YEARS

I have made this clear on numerous occasions.

You also seem to assume that only Clinton the only UNITY candidate. A question I myself posed in another thread.

Obama needs to start thinking about answering the question.

I think your assessment of Obama is 100% wrong. The post you made makes me question if you are a true Obama supporter.

Obama is politically savvy enough to realise you can only succeed the Democratic Party if you are for UNITY.

I will say it again:

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

The UNITY speech is what will decide the nomination.

It is a quick draw competition and Clinton's finger is a hair's breadth from the trigger.

[musicblind]

93. If you had read past the subject line you would have clearly seen that I was not calling

Obama supporters liars. Jump to conclusions without all the information? Geesh. I am not pompous creep. I like Obama a lot. I also like Hillary a lot. And I LOVE Edwards. I am not, however, a fanatic, and am able to look at the bias on this board and realize that it does not represent the real world. It is a great place for me to find people who are like minded and tell them how much I wish the real world thought like they do... but it is not the real world.

[Ian_walker]

106. Not knocking you friend

I was just reminding the forum we have the odd Rove Troll about as well as their puppets and that is before we get to people who are so wrapped up in the own ego and view of their candidates that they cannot think straight.

I support both candidates and have never said a bad thing about either of them.

Because I want the Dream Ticket. That requires both candidates. If it means I take licks from both candidates over enthusiastic ego-fans as well as Rove Trolls and their puppets it makes no difference to me. It is text in forum... it rarely kills.

[musicblind]

Your posts are noble

you are standing up for a good cause in hostile territory.

[Ian_walker]

119. Not hard you just have to type faster than they can

As to their posts they can no hurt. I teach rock climbing for a living. I have lost 10 friends in 20 years now that hurts. :-(

[musicblind]

194. omgsh. I am so sorry to hear that :(

[Ian_walker]

216. Kind of average in climbing.

I speak to other climbers. It seems to be a common experience. I have to say though with the exception of 8000m peaks most of the cases were kind of peripheral to the climbing.

The first friend died while waiting to climb he was sat on a large rock plinth above the sea when a freak wave came and swept him away, his body was never recovered.
The second was an 8000m climber he was never found. So we do not know what happened.
The third died when she was soling a simple access route, she was a top competition climber. I like her had soloed that route many times.
The fourth was an Alpine climber a bolt used for abseil sheered.
The fifth was lost on a Peruvian mountain I believe his body was finally recovered. Though I still do not know exactly what happened. Peruvian mountains are similar in nature to the 8000m peaks of the Himalayas
The sixth was frozen to death in Scotland after leaving the shelter of his snow hole.
The seventh was a solo accident but proper climbing on hard route.
The eighth was someone killed by a falling rock while climbing.
The ninth was someone killed by a falling rock while he was walking along the bottom of the cliff
The tenth died of high altitude pulmonary edema on an 8000m peak with people round him.

Anything above 7500m is the death zone. All the time you are there you are dieing. 8000m climbing is very dangerous about 10 times more that rock climbing. I know hundreds of rock climbers but only about 10 or so 8000m climbers.

Soloing is climbing without a rope I do it rarely but do on occasions do it.

So far I have been lucky. One serious ground fall that bruised my feet so bad I had to crawl down the mountain through brambles and nettles (European equivalent of poison oak has minute little crystal splinters full of Oxalic acid covering it). I am very old school when it comes falling and avoid it at all costs. One near miss with rock fall the size of old fashioned TV. Several bruises from smaller shingle type hits. A partial ungloved wrist Yuk while jamming on gritstone in Yorkshire in the UK; totally healed hardly any scar. A pinged A4 pulley, the loop that hold your finger tendons in a bit like the loops in a fishing rod. Squirted all the synovial fluid out of my left middle finger so it creaks a lot will not straighten and will have arthritis more as I get older. A right shoulder with a tendency to dislocate, hurts real bad when it does.

I still love climbing though.

There is a book by Joe Simpson called "This game of Ghosts" I recommend it as a good read but it also explains our attitude as climbers and how we feel about what happens.

[musicblind]

114. gotta love them double posts ...

[Ian_walker]

87. Because they are not real Obama supporters

Obama would not give these people a second glance they are either fools or puppets or Rove Trolls.

REAL Obama supporter will support him when he tells them to get behind the Democratic Party candidate.

[yourguide]

94. He has already stated

he has NO plans to be her VP...and I stand behind him on that 100%.

[Ian_walker]

115. Contrary to your assertion Obama has not ruled out being VP

Candidates plan to president not VP. They then agree to be VP when they cannot win the nomination.

If you do not understand this you do not understand politics.

And contrary to your assertion Obama has not ruled out being VP. He would be a fool if he did. i think many people in the post you made pointed this out to you already.

I am for BOTH candidates. I want a strategic Democratic Party victory. I want 16 years of Democratic party power. I love giving NeoConMen nightmares. I will get behind who ever is the Democratic Party candidate and their VP.

It is now quick draw competition and Clinton's finger is hairs breadth from the trigger...

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

[yourguide]

124. I'd bet my 401K on it

he wants no part of it.

The problem is, the unity speech this year would be based on scorched earth. Not interested, thanks.

[Ian_walker]

126. It is Obama's view that matter not yours.

No if buts or maybes. Obama has not ruled out being VP.

As I keep saying it is a quick draw competition, the Democratic Party voters have told the candidates they want the Dream Ticket. Either candidate ignores it at their peril.

Bill Clinton today said the Dream ticket is 'Unstoppable'

It is a quick draw competitionClintons finger is a hairs breadth fron the trigger...

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech

[yourguide]

133. I dont care what Bill says

I care what Obama says, and he has given ZERO indication he is even vaguely interested in VP.

HRCs campaign sucks, her negatives are huge, and if she wasnt married to Bill she would have been sent packing.

Sorry, she's behind and will lose.

[Ian_walker]

136. Obama has been very careful not rule out the Dream Ticket

He knows that if he did it would be political suicide.

[yourguide]

145. And Obama has been even more careful not to

even speak of it, refer to it as such, or even appear at all likes he thinks it's a good idea...

[Ian_walker]

147. So you agree Obama has not ruled out the Dream Ticket.

Obama is a sensible politician.

He knows that what the Democratic Party prizes is UNITY.

UNITY means 16 years.
UNITY means a Democratic Party Landslide.
UNITY will bury the NeoConMen

[yourguide]

148. on the contrary...

he has not said one positive thing about it. no way is it happening. even if she wins all of the remaining contests by 60% she is still behind in pledged. she's out. it's done.

[Ian_walker]

152. Obama can make the UNITY speech if he has the courage

As to pledged delegates, it is a statistical dead heat.

The Democratic Party voters have made it clear 69% of them want the Dream Ticket.

[yourguide]

157. HA, are you stoned?

It's not a statistical dead heat. Do you understand how statistics work?

Pledged delegate total is 15% higher than HRCs

Obama: 1199
HRC: 1041

She has 41 more super delegates than Obama but no way in hell are the supers going to overturn the pledged delegates.

Go here: http://www.slate.com/features/delegatecounter/

now plug in todays results in WY 61 for obama 39% for HRC, now give HRC 60% of EVERY contest remaining and she STILL cant catch up with him in pledged.

He wants unity within the dem party, however it's not my idea of unity to circulate photos of a candidate in a turban to promote hate and fear and I would imagine it's not his either which is why he hasnt said ONE POSITIVE THING ABOUT THE NIGHTMARE TICKET.

HRC is OUT, face it, and many dems are glad.

[Ian_walker]

167. Dream Ticket Gives NeoConMen Nightmares

I see you think you are loosing the argument. The last refuge of those loosing an argument is personal abuse

HA, are you stoned?

The Dream Ticket is what give NeoConMen Nightmares.

Obama will never say he is against unity much as the NeoConMen would like him too. That is political suicide Obama ain't that dumb.

You might say it, but he will not. It makes me seriously question if you are a true Obama supporter but I have parsed your replies and even you dare not say it.

Because you realise that at the end of the process ALL Democratic Party supporters will get behind the Democratic Party Nomination for President.

Always keep it positive :-)

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried

That is a really positive strategy.

[yourguide]

221. Yes unity would have been an amazing idea

that is before your candidate chose to abandon it in favor of a smear campaign.

We want unity, but since HRC doesnt know or understand what unity is, we are all hoping she is eliminated from that equation.

[Ian_walker]

223. UNITY is the winning strategy

So far the Democratic Party nomination is a Statistical Dead Heat.

The Facts
In terms of Delegates
Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
Neither candidate is any where near that.
Obama has 1,387 or 52%
Clinton has 1,229½ or 47%
Edwards (suspended not withdrawn) has 26 or 1%

Do the math
1,387 + 1,229 = 2,616 total Delegate Votes decided (we will ignore the half vote for now)
4,047 - 2,616 = 1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared.
Now some of that is promised votes from super Delegates but there are still some 600 outstanding Delegate votes and about 300 Super Delegate votes to be decided.

Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
If Florida's and Michigan's delegates are counted, the requirement is 2,207½ votes out of 4,414 (now we had better see where that half vote went)

Oh and Clinton is ahead in the popular vote by about 32,000 ballots.

1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared Now you can try to Fox news that in Floria that any way you want.

Me I will let the Democratic Party decide.

I will be happy with either of them as President.

It is a Dead Heat
So much so that Howard Dean has said on ABC television "If we have to sit the two candidates down together or their campaigns down together and try to figure out how to make peace and have a convention that's going to work, then that's fine,"

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy as being considerably more important than yours.

And DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some candidates or their supporters ego.

But
I want UNITY.
I want the NeoConMen to have living Nightmare
I want 16 years
I want a Democratic party landslide
I want Strategic Momentum
I want a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
I want a Democratic Party Senate landslide
I want the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.
What was that tactic you were on about?

[BringBigDogBack]

168. agree sir.

[Ian_walker]

171. 69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

So unless you are saying Obama has only 31% of the Democratic Party's backing you may wish to reconsider this remark.

[Ian_walker]

86. yourguide Your slanted poll fools no one fool

It is a poll with slanted questions.
It is only open people who on this forum who can answer it which means loads of Rove Trolls can vote.
It is not given to Democratic Party Voters
It has not statistical significance

yourguide Your slanted poll fools no one but your self and bunch of Rove Trolls :D :D :D

[yourguide]

92. HAHAHAHAHA!

The polls are not slanted.

Again, I wouldnt put too much stock in polls anyway...they all had HRC winning in Iowa and losing in NH.

By the way yourself is actually 1 word, not two.

[Ian_walker]

234. 69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

Loosing your argument again? You can still only think tacticly you need to start thinking strategicly.

UNITY is a strategy. That is why Howard Dean supports it.

[noel711]

61. Polls>?

Twas 'polls' who elected the numbnutz who currently
resides in the White House. I prefer to think for myself
and not allow myself to be swayed by 'polls' or 'other
people.'

This whole topic, raise by the Clintons, is her
last ditch effort to get in power. She knows she's not going
to get the nomination...I cannot and will not support this
stupid idea.

[Ian_walker]

245. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

UNITY is a lot bigger than a Candidates or their supporters ego.

UNITY is strategy.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

102. Wow. Did You Just Say That Only 34.4% Of Democratic Voters Support Obama?

Wow. :wow:

[Ian_walker]

111. Naughty Naughy!

Funny but naughty!

UNITY is what is important.

[TwilightGardener]

6. Is this some kind of cut-and-paste email that's going around, or are you repeating yourself?

[Ian_walker]

14. I want the Democratic Party to win. What do you want?

I want the Democratic Party to win.
What do you want?
I want the Democratic Party to WIN BIG

[TwilightGardener]

17. I want Obama to win. That's it. The soul of the Democratic party will die

if the parasitic Clintons are allowed to control the machinery again.

[Ian_walker]

29. The Democratic Party is more important than your or your candidates ego

I question whether you are anything more than Rove Troll at times. But if you are a true OBAMA supporter rather than just some Rove Troll you will get behind the Democratic Party candidate who ever they are.

I draw your attention to the top pinned post in this section of the forum

[TwilightGardener]

36. LOL! Rove Troll! Nope, just someone who doesn't want to see her in the WH.

[Ian_walker]

180. Democratic party supporters get behind the candidate

Whichever Democratic party candidate gets the nomination real Democratic party supporters get behind the candidate.

[scheming daemons]

20. Then THINK STRATEGICALLY for a second....

Neither one does anything for the other in the GE against McCain.


BOTH of them need to boost their Foreign Policy creds to go against McCain.


Both Illinois and New York will be BLUE no matter which one is the nominee.


The VP has to be a STRATEGIC choice that will balance the ticket and ATTRACT INDEPENDENTS. It doesn't matter what the Dems want... whether it was 69% or 100%. Both Barack and Hillary would get 90% of the Dem votes.

The only way to win in November is to beat McCain among Independents.... and so you need someone who appeals to them and eases their fears about Hillary and Barack's lack of FP experience.


You're thinking with your heart, and not with your head.


If you want to win.... we need to get over the idea that either one of them is good for the other's ticket. They simply aren't.

[Ian_walker]

33. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

That is real strategic thinking you are talking tactics. Strategy is thinking long term. Like howard Dean does.

Your argument is minor level tactical one. And good stategy allows good tactic.
Consider:
McCain is Half-Fat-Liberal who is compromised both ways by his kow towing to Bush.
That is the reason NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words: DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound guerrilla sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room?Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency.

It means a raft of candidates for both presidency, congress and senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America.

It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change.

They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half fat liberal McCain. If you want a liberal in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democrat, Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET!

DREAM TICKET is a land slide. UNITY is 16 years! UNITY is the end the NeoConMen!

Now that is STRATEGY!

[noel711]

55. Unity can only be achieved thru trust....

and right now there's a huge lack of trust.

To say "Vote democratic, democratic party right or wrong'

is like that old slogan from a few years ago:

"America: love it or leave it."

Sorry, but it won't work. Team them up for what?
More divisiveness? More knife fights? More harsh
party lines?

And how could Obama work as VP with Bill Clinton
breathing down his neck?

[Ian_walker]

74. Both candidates have said they trust the other.

Simple fact both of them have said they are happy that the other is in the race.

[Exilednight]

7. That leaves 31% who don't. That's a big number.

[Ian_walker]

21. It splits 15.5 percent to either candidates real base

Work it out these are people wedded to their particular candidate. Once their candidate gets on the UNITY road they will fall in line like good little soldiers.

[Exilednight]

32. Well my days of being a soldier are over, and I don't fall in line. I'm an independent thinker now.

[Ian_walker]

41. Check the first pinned topic in this section of the forum

If your candidate tells you to get in line you will. No if buts or maybes

[Exilednight]

45. Yeah, keep thinking that. All it says is that the DUers will not take action against the nominee...

and I will not. Just because I don't support Hillary as a nomineee doesn't mean I have to campaign against her here if she happens to win the nomination.

[Ian_walker]

63. Glad to hear you will be supporting the Democratic Party candidate and VP

[Exilednight]

71. In that case, get your eye sight checked. I can not in good conscience support Hillary. I will....

be on here supporting Congressional races to keep the Democrats in control, but I WILL NOT support Hillary if she wins the nomination. I'll just keep my mouth shut on this website about my feelings as Hillary as President.

[Ian_walker]

159. Democratic party supporters get behind the candidate

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried

[noel711]

65. You remind me of something that happened...

in Germany in the '30s and '40s..

Trust us, trust the Party, fall in line,
and we'll win big... You think because you
keep repeating that meme over and over again
we'll swallow it and say: "Oh, we were wrong.
So sorry.. whatever you say.."

We are Democrats, progressives, and we have brains..

[musicblind]

66. Not all of the 31 % are saying they will not vote for the ticket

the vast majority of the 31 % WILL, they would just rather another candidate like Richardson, or Dodd for VP. However, NO OTHER CANDIDATE OPTION FOR VP gets 69 % of the vote. You have to be able to see this, no matter what your personal opinion is, correct?



Why is it that people are so ethnocentric... even in our their own lives... that they think the rest of the world simply MUST be in agreement with them, and are then shocked to find out that their assumption is untrue. Geesh.

[Ian_walker]

104. It is obvious what the Democratic Party voters want.

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech

It is a quick draw competition and Clinton is just hairs predth from the trigger.

[Bucky]

10. I don't see a second banana in this bunch

and I don't want to hurt Evan Bayh's feelings.

[AtomicKitten]

11. Hillary is trying desperately to staple her lame ass to the ticket.

[Ian_walker]

44. It is a statistical dead heat.

No stapling involved. No candidate has won. DREAM TICKET solves the problem.

[AtomicKitten]

50. I disagree, strongly.

A combined ticket prolongs the problem and that problem is the Bush-Clinton stranglehold on government that is punctuated with secrecy and crony corporatism.

Obama is sufficiently ahead in delegates that it is statistically improbable that she could get anywhere in the ballpark of catching up.

Her vile campaign tactics preclude a combination ticket which, in the opinion of many Democrats, would be a nightmare.

Not.Gonna.Happen.

[Ian_walker]

73. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

UNITY is the winning strategy for the Democratic Party.

[AtomicKitten]

83. Barack/somebody else = the only way America can move forward untethered by bad decisions of the past

[Ian_walker]

122. DREAM TICKET is what gives the NeoConMen nightmares

Dream ticket is 16 years of Democratic power.

Dream ticket is a landslide with momentum that will drag in Democratic Party victories in the legislature. That will give the Democratic party not just a landslide President but a landslide of Representatives and Senators too.

It will bury the NeoConMen.

[AtomicKitten]

125. She is more likely to become McCain's VP than Obama's.

Hillary Clinton's negatives are so high she'd be like a cement block chained to Obama, and I assure you he is much, much smarter than that. Besides, she has already declared an affinity for the GOP nominee, so perhaps McCain will consider her for his VP.

[Ian_walker]

129. NeoConMen might dream that. I prefer to give them Nightmares

DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?

Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound guerrilla sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room?

Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency.


UNITY is not just a win. It is a LANDSLIDE. It means a raft of victories for both Presidency, Representatives and Senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America. It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change. They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half fat liberal McCain. If you want a Democratic Party in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democratic candidate be they Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET

[AtomicKitten]

131. Ms. Flick is sh*t out of luck, your cheerleading aside.

Change doesn't happen with the same players playing the same insider D.C. games. She made a monster mistake going ugly, a mistake I guarantee he won't reward. Every day her campaign waxes ugly on the tee-vee makes her more and more a pariah in the Democratic Party. But, by all means, keep dreaming. I hope it assuages the disappointment of her failure in this contest.

[Ian_walker]

134. The Democratic Party is more important than your or either candidates ego

As I keep pointing out I am for Both candidates.

Either or BOTH candidates can give the UNITY speech

[AtomicKitten]

140. Your dream (reads nightmare) has ZERO chance of coming to fruition so, dream on.

Uniting with isn't a merger Barack is going to make, but by all means cross your fingers and wish really, really hard. She will reap what she has sown.

Good luck on your sales pitch here. :hi:

She (and you) will find karma really is a bitch.

[Ian_walker]

142. I just love giving NeoConMen Nightmares.

As I have pointed out on numerous occasions I support BOTH candidates and will get behind whom so ever is the Democratic Party Nomination for President.

I have said this many times:
Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

I think the Dream Ticket offers an unprecedented opportunity to lock the NeoConMen out of power for 16 years. Not only that but it means a landslide with enough momentum to lock up the Representatives and Senate too. It means time for Democratic Party policies to bed in . It means a New Democratic Age.

That is a strategy. All else is mere tactics.

That is dream worth fighting for.

[AtomicKitten]

143. NO SALE!! But good luck on your campaign here at DU.

[Ian_walker]

149. Real Democratic Party supporters will get behind the Democratic Party Nomination

The Democratic Party Nomination will be decided by Democratic Party voters and Delegates.

69% of Democratic Party voters have said they want the Dream Ticket. Democratic Party voters want UNITY and the Super Delegates will want the same. The Super Delegates vote their conscience. The Super Delegates will take into account the gaming of the Democratic Party primaries. The Super Delegates will vote for the candidate who best offers UNITY. The Super Delegates will vote for the candidate who promises the biggest strategic victory.

It is a quick draw competition to say UNITY speech and Clinton's finger is a hairs breadth from the trigger.

Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech.

[AtomicKitten]

175. REAL Democrats don't endorse the GOP nominee over her Dem opponent.

And so this REAL Democrat won't be validating Ms. Flick with my vote if she somehow manages to wrestle the nomination away from Barack.

[Ian_walker]

179. Clinton never said she endorsed McCain. Do not fib

Do not fib; you will only get caught

A simple goggle search proves you wrong
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-gb%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGLR&q=clinton+%22I+endorse+McCain%22+&btnG=Search

I realize that many NeoConMen want to sow disunity in the DU.

It is because they fear and hate UNITY.

The NeoConMen are an organization founded on hate fear.

UNITY will win of this I am certain.

[AtomicKitten]

181. I'm going to have go with my lying ears then.

Stick a fork in it, dude.

[Ian_walker]

182. Have them tested. Or come up with proof

But I know you will not do the second.

[AtomicKitten]

183. In the words of Hillary Clinton, shame on you!!! for trying to muddy the waters with your BS.

Do you think people are retarded? Do you really think you can come here and tell us that we didn't hear what we clearly heard? If you are, you are as delusional as your candidate. She has lost already and refuses to stay down. She is taking her best shot at destroying the party, and you can bet your arse Democrats are not going to reward her for that. So, you can take your traveling show of bullshit down the road.

[Ian_walker]

184. I leave calling a contest before its done to Fox news in Florida

I do not think the people in this forum are retarded. Putting words in other peoples mouth seems to be a bad habit you have picked up somewhere. I contribute to threads in this forum because the people of the forum can be persuaded by cogent argument. I know the NeoConMen would prefer otherwise. Maybe you are upset because my posts are so cogent.

You say you have heard something yet you can offer no proof. Once again: Putting words in other peoples mouth seems to be a bad habit you have picked up somewhere.

The contest is a statistical dead heat and has still to be decided. I leave calling a contest before its done to Fox News in Florida. A bit similar to your habit of putting words in other peoples mouth; except this time you making up a result that has not happened. It seems to be a bad habit you have picked up somewhere...

[scheming daemons]

16. Neither one of them would settle for VP slot... and they shouldn't...

...they can do more good in the Senate than as a VP attending funerals and fund-raisers.


The ticket needs to be BALANCED.... Neither Hillary nor Barack has great foreign policy creds, and they agree on 95% of the issues.... and neither of them are from a state that the GOP has a chance in.


No matter who the nominee is... they need someone with THESE qualities

1. Foreign policy experience
2. From a "purple" state.


Jim Webb - VA

Bill Richardson - NM


The VP *HAS* to be able to help in a normally-red state... or at least a swing state.


You're not thinking logically for November, Ian.... neither Hillary nor Barack is served very well by having the other as their VP choice.

[Ian_walker]

139. 69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

They along with most of the electorate disagree with you.

[Life Long Dem]

19. Dream team is Obama's call. I wouldn't force Hillary to be breathing over his shoulders with Bill.

[Ian_walker]

75. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

I would prefer they both said it.

[sellitman]

26. I have as much a shot as Hillary does being picked for a VP slot.

Maybe more.

[featherman]

27. Media hype - not happening in the real world

[Ian_walker]

39. Ignore the people at your peril

It is a News Week Poll

[featherman]

70. Who becomes VP is not my choice to make of course so I'm not

ignoring anybody. Just don't think it will happen. Just my opinion.

[Ian_walker]

77. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

That will then inherently decide who is the VP

Who ever make the UNITY speech will win the Democratic Party nomination for president
That will then inherently decide who is the VP

If they BOTH make the unity speech. The one I would prefer it allows the contest to go on but in a more amicable fashion

[JackORoses]

31. This is not going to work. No matter how many times Hillary says it.

Obama has already said he will not be a VP.

He will not put her on his ticket for two reasons.
She has attacked him unashamedly using very dirty tactics.
She would be a lead weight in the GE.

I know Hillarites are clinging to this as their last hope, but your candidate has ruined this for herself.

[Ian_walker]

38. Obama can say the UNITY speech as well

Either or both candidates can say the unity speech

[fujiyama]

34. I could get behind it but still don't know what Hillary brings to the table as VP

I don't trust her and agree that loyalty is important. Still, I suppose she'd be better than Evan Bayh or Vilsack and some of her supporters feel she's entitled to be president, so it brings some unity to the table. But she also turns off a lot of independents and that would still mobilize RWers.

For Obama, being VP would be a great step to being president in 8 years. He's still young and it would be the kind of "experience" he needs. But then again would there be a mutual trust there? Everyone knows what happened to Al Gore under Clinton. At times, Bill sidelined Gore for Hillary's advice. Hillary might do the same - but for Bill's advice rather than Obama's.

At this point, I'll vote for Hillary (if she's the nominee) based on who she picks for VP. A Vilsack, or Bayh is pretty much a deal breaker. I couldn't care any less between a Hillary/Bayh/Vilsack and a McCain/Other lunatic choice.

[Ian_walker]

240. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

Choice of VP is just a tactic.

UNITY is strategy and it beats tactics hands down every time.

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy over anyone elses.

Howard Dean Wants UNITY.

DREAM TICKET is UNITY and DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some tactic of a candidates or their supporters ego.

I want UNITY.
UNITY is the NeoConMen having living Nightmare
UNITY is 16 years
UNITY is a Democratic party landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate landslide
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.
What was that tactic you were on about?

[musicblind]

53. Best thing is, as this goes on, that number keeps going up!

Soon it'll be 75 or 80% who want the unity ticket. It DOESN'T MATTER what the radicals on DU say, they have no input in the matter and it kills. The truth is... we're probably going to get a version of this ticket. THAT is good thing. Whoever sits at the top of the ticket.

[Ian_walker]

246. Because UNITY is a Strategy

UNITY is strategy and it beats tactics hands down every time.

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy over anyone elses.

Howard Dean Wants UNITY.

DREAM TICKET is UNITY and DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some tactic of a candidates or their supporters ego.

I want UNITY.
UNITY is the NeoConMen having living Nightmare
UNITY is 16 years
UNITY is a Democratic party landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate landslide
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.

[seabeyond]

60. give them another week and they too wont want hillary on it n/t

[musicblind]

69. That is not the trend of the polls. Even AFTER she has gone negative more people want this ticket

Why is it that people are so ethnocentric... even in our their own lives... that they think the rest of the world simply MUST be in agreement with them, and are then shocked to find out that their assumption is untrue. Geesh.

[seabeyond]

81. well..... with a giggle, not that you didnt make a whole lot of implied assumptions

about me. lol. why.... are you assuming all those things about me from the little that i posted. maybe because it is what/who/why you would be and you are looking at me thru your glasses.

that is why.... people do that.

i am betting, not knowing, not assuming nor will i guarentee, that hillary will not pull back, further she will escalate what she is doing to the point even those that may not pay NEAR the attention as those poltically involved will see, think and judge. and

i could be wrong

will be a wait and see kinda thing

but a guess is a guess and we do that a lot on this board

like you do in assuming that what the poll says today and the momentum that it takes will stay the same

why... oh why.... do people think, things will stay as is.


geeeesh

[musicblind]

99. You are right, I should not make personal assumptions from what little you posted

however I feel, as a whole, this board has an overwhelming bias and seems to believe that the rest of the world "really" shares their bias and are just hiding it from all the pollsters, etc. It comes off like a weird faith based initative. I am sorry if I lumped you into the group as a whole. That was jumping to a conclusion.

[seabeyond]

110. ahhh. well thank you

i live in the middle of panhandle of texas ultra conservative religious belt. i could never consider this board anywhere close to my world.

thank you for your post.

[Ian_walker]

251. UNITY is a strategy. All else is mere tactics.

UNITY is strategy and it beats tactics hands down every time.

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy over anyone elses.

Howard Dean Wants UNITY.

DREAM TICKET is UNITY and DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some tactic of a candidates or their supporters ego.

I want UNITY.
UNITY is the NeoConMen having living Nightmare
UNITY is 16 years
UNITY is a Democratic party landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate landslide
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.

[Major Hogwash]

84. Too bad Newsweek has no say in how the Dem party is run, huh?

Fuck 'em - they were cheering for the Iraq War 5 years ago along with all of the other douchebags in the media!

[Ian_walker]

95. But the Democratic Party voters they polled do.

It is the Democratic Party voters who want the DREAM TICKET.

[Major Hogwash]

97. When I want Newsweek's opinion, I'll give it to them.

Until then, they can sell more magazines by concentrating on the economy and how Bush lead us down the rosy path to hell, while Newsweek stood by and applauded his every move for 6 years!

[Ian_walker]

101. Democratic Party voters opinion trumps you

That is what the poll is of

[Rosemary2205]

85. I wonder where the unity talk will go if Hillary is asked to settle for Veep.

[Ian_walker]

91. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

The Democratic Party voters have made it clear what they want.

The Super Delegates will choose the UNITY candidate because that is Democratic Party voters want and because it is the purpose of the Super Delegates to vote their conscience and prevent actions like the NeoConMen's obvious and admited gaming of the Democratic Party primaries. The Super Delegates will also vote in the strategic interest of the Democratic party. So they will vote for the UNITY candidate.

It is a quick draw competition and Clinton is going for the gun

Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

[snappyturtle]

107. Here's my poll of one: NO! It will not happen. Hillary might concede to

the "dream ticket" but how could Obama? For him to select her would kill our election hopes because he would, in doing so, being backing the person who has had no trouble demeaning his abilities. No, nada, never.

[Ian_walker]

108. The Democratic Party is more important than your or your candidates ego

UNITY is the winning ticket.
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY 16 years

[snappyturtle]

128. Unity of this sort would be spun by the repukes into a laughing stock and

very hypocritical of both candidates. We can have a landslide, winning ticket and 16 years without these two arch enemies joining up.

[Ian_walker]

132. Both candidates have been very careful not to get personal

Both candidates realise it is the Democratic party voters and Delegates that decide who will win.

NoeConMen not liking what the Democratic Party voters and Delegates is an absolute given.

I can only think of two reason why you say you cannot see that...

[snappyturtle]

172. I don't know what you're trying to say in this reply or throughout

the post. You have a UNITY command woven into the replies plus two or three other favorite phrases...who are these Neoconmen? What nightmares? This is jibberish...I will not respond to you again and suggest others do the same. imho

[Ian_walker]

177. You must find my argument cogent or you would not feel the need to dispute it.

I will now parse each sentense to make it easier for you to understand

Both candidates realise it is the Democratic party voters and Delegates that decide who will win.

I do not think you can misunderstand this sentense. If you do not understand please explain why.

NeoConMen not liking what the Democratic Party voters and Delegates want is an absolute given.

I made a spelling error and missed a word. When you are making this many replies to such a popular topic the occasional error is inevitable. I of course apologise.
NeoConMen= Neoconservative Men. Points out they are predominatly men. The concept places them among conmen(flim flamers). In esence NeoConMen turns their name against them. It is a simple shorthand like Freeper or Repukes and other such. This is in the same vein.

It was in reply to this that you wrote:

Unity of this sort would be spun by the repukes into a laughing stock and very hypocritical of both candidates. We can have a landslide, winning ticket and 16 years without these two arch enemies joining up.

You are trying to make out that the candidates are against each other. I was pointing out that this is a very common NeoCon ploy that has been remarked on by many others in this forum.

The plane fact is the Democratic party candidates are not divided and no amout of NeoConMen wish they were will make it so.

I can only think of two reason why you say you cannot see that...

It is sometimes better to remain silent on what you think may be another's motives.

I just love giving NeoConMen nightmares. :D

[IDemo]

113. LOL "thousand pound guerrilla"?

Did you mean "gorilla", or just a really oversized jihadist?

Obama will pick his candidate according to how he and his team of advisers best see fit, not according to a Newsweek poll or an online bulletin board.

You have been cutting and pasting the same buzzword phrases for the past two days on this topic. Tireless repetition does not make a bad idea better. Stop spamming the board with this crap.

[Ian_walker]

117. gorilla or guerrilla both make a mess of NeoConMen

And No I will not shut up. I think you are afraid of what I am posting being seen by more people...

Good campaign buzzwords are like gold they sum up an argument and save us all from the boring speeches you would seem to prefer.

Obama for one takes a different view to you.

UNITY is what will wipe the NeoConMen off the political map.

UNITY and the DREAM TICKET gives NeoConMen nightmares. I like those buzzwords. :D :D }(

[IDemo]

123. Move away from Gramma's laptop and go play in the yard

You give yourself far too much credit by suggesting that your mindlessly repetitive UNITY posts are going to have any effect after "being seen by more people".

Obama has not spoken in favor of your nightmare ticket, nor does he have any reason to. After he wraps up the nomination, he will pick a running mate, hopefully somebody like Bill Richardson or Joe Biden. There is no consolation prize for second place in presidential politics.


edit -- http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/04/roland.martin/">Roland Martin can help set you straight. Or I can here.

[Ian_walker]

130. So you now know Dream Ticket is going to win

Other wise why the insult. Last refuge of the loosing agument.

[IDemo]

135. There will be no nightmare ticket. You can take that to the bank.

[Ian_walker]

138. DREAM TICKET is the gift that just keeps giving

Nightmares to NeoConMen

[McCamy Taylor]

144. If I could prove to you that Karl Rove wants Obama and Hillary divided would that convince you?

I have been posting here since last year that the entire RNC/Rove/MSM strategy is all designed to achieve one purpose--keep Obama and Hillary and their supporters at each others throats by using the 1972 tactics designed by Pat Buchanan for CREEP and Dick Nixon which were used to interfere in the 1972 Democratic primary to turn it into a facsimile of the 1968 Chicago Dem disaster.

Go back to my journals and review them. If anyone is really interested, I will find the links myself and post them. I document the overall strategies. I have watched election night coverage and showed how networks like MSNBC are playing the game. I have analyzed the MSM propaganda. In my latest series "The Press v. Hillary Clinton" (up to three parts so far) I talk about this.

It is as clear as day what Rove is doing. It was clear last fall and it is even more clear now. Nora O'Donnell actually had a scroll saying "Convention in Chaos" and a guest speculating that the Denver convention could be just as bad as Chicago 1968---then she reminded Wisconsin voters that they could go to the polls and register right there and get a ballot with both Democrats and Republicans names on it and that Hillary was doing better than any one had thought she would (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). It was absolutely appalling.

If Hillary and Obama are on the same ticket, the woman and African-Americans, two key parts of the Democratic base will turn out in droves. Look at how many are turning out now to vote for one or the other. No one is going to stay home because the other candidate is on the ticket. Hillary's supporters like Obama and vice versa.

The RNC is trying hard to change that. They are using their same old Divide and Conquer strategy that they have used to keep wages down and workers unorganized and the masses oppressed for years.

Do not be fooled.

Solidarity!

[Ian_walker]

146. I agree it is about UNITY. Democratic Party UNITY; What the NeoConMen fear.

Dream Ticket is what gives the NeoConMen fear. It is their Nightmare.

[unapatriciated]

266. I have said the same thing on this board many times.....

But you said it better and backed it up with facts.

268. DREAM TICKET is what gives the NeoConMen nightmares

That Rove Trolls come into this forum is certain and they have puppets who they feed their views to. Division and Hate is what the live for

Best thing to do is give them Nightmares.

Just try it!
It will give you a warm fuzy glow inside :) :
Reccomend threads that give NeoConMen Nightmares. It will give you a warm fuzy glow inside :)
Make Posts in threads where you see their activity that give NeoConMen Nightmares. It will give you a warm fuzy glow inside :)
Post comments that will give NeoConMen Nightmares. It will give you a warm fuzy glow inside :)

Also post it on Right wing media and open forums.

Things like this cause them to panic and get depressed. You will be suprised how fast they start to leave. Here is an example:

I love giving Nightmares to NeoConMen

DREAM TICKET you know it makes sense!

UNITY the gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares
DREAM TICKET another gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares

Terrify a NeoConMan today. While Drinking coffee in the Mall say to your Friend DREAM TICKET. Even if you whisper it a NeoConMen will hear it clear across the other side of the Mall. Try it really works.

And I do love giving NeoConMen Nightmares.

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate.

The NeoConMen hate Obama
The NeoConMen hate Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Kerry
The NeoConMen hate Bill Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Gore
The NeoConMen hate JFK
The NeoConMen hate Carter
The NeoConMen even hate their very own McCain
The NeoConMen hate every single Democratic Party candidate they always have and always will.

HATE is all they do.

They account for less than 30% of voters and declining. They have some loud mouthpieces like Fox and Talk Radio and the rest of the NeoConMen's media.

Their time is ended.

All they have left is Hate.

UNITY trumps hate every time.

That is what the United States of America is based on.

And America is sick of them and their hate. They are sick of the NeoConMen damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of the NeoConMen raping our planet. The sick of the NeoConMen's Tax Debt. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
UNITY will beat hate!

[unapatriciated]

270. I heard you already!!!!

Did you read my post or link? I have been voting since 1972 and remember all to well the divide and conquer technique. Yes I agree and would go one step further by asking they appoint the rest of our very fine candidates to appropriate cabinet positions.

[Ian_walker]

272. Relax friend. (Subject lines make good headlines)

Yes I did

In fact I read it some time ago.

I was using the opportunity to kick the thread and to put forward the concept of giving the NeoConMen nightmares. As well as giving any of them still present Nightmares.

Subject lines make good headlines. NeoConMen are particularly susceptible too them that is their own Rhetorical style from Fox news. That is how they digest information.

Do not take anything in any thread as personal friend it is just Text.

Now the ideas they are powerful and cannot be ignored.

[unapatriciated]

275. I'm very relaxed...

I did think I had fallen through the looking glass and into Fox News for the left. :evilgrin:

[Spider Jerusalem]

150. There's no such thing as a 'statictical dead heat' in politics.

This isn't the NFL playoffs.

Obama leads in: delegates, in vote, in states won, in fundraising. He can only lose the nomination through Hillary's deus ex machina superdelegate strategy (and he won't). Hillary brings nothing to the ticket; her negatives would hurt down-ticket races, her presence on the ticket, even in the VP slot, would energise right-wingers who would otherwise be disaffected and not much interested in voting for McCain.

No thanks.

[Ian_walker]

156. Democratic party supporters get behind the candidate

69% of Democratic Party voters want the Dream Ticket.

The Super Delegates will vote their conscience. The Super Delegates will vote for party UNITY. The Super Delegates will take into account that the NeoConMen have been gaming the Democratic Party Primaries and have even admitted the same. The Super Delegates will vote in the best long term strategic interest of the Democratic Party. The candidate that offers Party UNITY will win the Super Delegates vote.

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

It is a quick draw competition and Clinton's finger is a hair's breadth from the trigger...

[Spider Jerusalem]

160. Most of those Republicans gaming the election?

In Ohio and Texas? They voted for Hillary.

She has no argument for being at the top of the ticket; she has no argument for even being on the ticket. She can make the 'unity speech' if she wants; it's a clear desperation ploy. And Hillary is electoral POISON in a general election vs McCain; this is an inconvenient fact you don't seem to want to admit.

[Ian_walker]

163. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

As I said 69% of Democratic Party voters want the Dream Ticket a candidate will ignore them at their peril.

Are you saying Obama is against UNITY? Because his reply will be different to yours.

I made it clear that the Super Delegates will vote their conscience. The Super Delegates will take into account that the NeoConMen have been gaming the Democratic Party Primaries and have even admitted the same, I made that clear too. The Super Delegates will vote for party UNITY above all else. The candidate that offers Party UNITY will win the Super Delegates vote that is obvious; and if a candidate and his campaign set out disunite the party they can say goodbye to the Super Delegates vote for they will punish them. The Super Delegates will vote in the best long term strategic interest of the Democratic Party.

UNITY is the winning strategy now for either candidate.

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

Currently it is a quick draw competition and Clinton's finger is a hair's breadth from the trigger...

[Spider Jerusalem]

164. Are you a broken record? It sounds like it.

[Ian_walker]

165. Truths oft need repeating to drown out foolish lies

I argue my point of view. If I am steadfast in that view it just shows I have conviction.

I think that a Democratic Party landslide for President Representatives and Senate, 16 years in power and the NeoConMen dead and buried is a dream worth fighting for.

[Spider Jerusalem]

166. You obviously haven't been paying attention then.

The right wing HATE Hillary. With an intense and burning passion. Her LOWEST negative ratings are in the neighbourhood of 45% nationally. Her presence on any Democratic ticket would guarantee no landslide, fewer Democratic Senators and Representatives. The depth of loathing the right wing have for her can't be understated; they aren't enthusiastic about McCain, but the chance to vote AGAINST Hillary would see them turning out for him.

[Ian_walker]

170. The right wing hated JFK too

The Right wing hate Obama
The Right wing hate Kerry
The Right wing hate Bill Clinton
The Right wing hate Gore
The Right wing hate JFK
The Right wing hate Carter
The Right wing even hate their very own McCain
The Right wing hate every single Democratic Party candidate they always have and always will.

HATE is all they do.

They account for less than 30% of voters and declining. They have some loud mouthpieces like Fox and Talk Radio and the rest of the NeoConMen's media.

Their time is ended.

All they have is Hate.

UNITY trumps hate every time

That is what the United States of America is based on.

And America is sick of them. They are sick of the NeoConMen damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of the NeoConMen raping our planet. The sick of the NeoConMen's Tax Debt. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried
UNITY will beat hate!

[nsd]

151. Count me among the 31% who would hate this.

I believe in Obama's promise of a new politics, a fresh start for America. I don't want to return to the past. The Clintons' time has come and gone. HRC's antics over the last few weeks just reinforces this view.

[Ian_walker]

154. Democratic Party voters opinion trumps yours

[DrFunkenstein]

158. Ah Hell No Dawg

Clinton brings nothing to the ticket, only weighs it down.

[Ian_walker]

162. 69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

I guess they disagree with you and trump your opinion.

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried

[maryallen]

176. B.S. Pure -D- B.S.!

[Ian_walker]

178. Please explain

B.S. Pure -D- B.S.!

Are you in the wrong forum?

[GetTheRightVote]

185. The only way it is a dream ticket to me is with Obama as Pres

and cheating low life Hillary goes as VP....Please do not insult my IQ other wise.

[Ian_walker]

188. I have always said I am for BOTH candidates

I do not give monkeys uncle who is on top.

This is about UNITY.

That is what the United States of America is based on.

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried

Either or BOTH candidates can make the UNITY speech.

If one makes it before the other they will win the nomination.

[JackORoses]

191. It's damn funny that you Hillarites pretend to be about Unity now that she can't win straight up

You have taken to it as a last resort to get Hillary on the ticket.
No Deal.

We have seen what she has to offer and have determined that she is unfit.

[Ian_walker]

193. I leave calling a contest before its done to Fox news in Florida

Secondly I am not "Hillarite" I have made it abundantly clear I want BOTH candidates and the DREAM TICKET

I do like giving NeoConMen Nightmares though.

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate.

The NeoConMen hate Obama
The NeoConMen hate Kerry
The NeoConMen hate Bill Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Gore
The NeoConMen hate JFK
The NeoConMen hate Carter
The NeoConMen even hate their very own McCain
The NeoConMen hate every single Democratic Party candidate they always have and always will.

HATE is all they do.

Their time is ended.

All they have left is Hate.

UNITY will beat hate!

[JackORoses]

196. By Unity, do you mean President Obama/ VP Clinton?

Didn't think so.

You can say Unity til you run out of breath. It will not make Hillary Clinton into a Uniter.
She has division in her blood.
We need to move past her brand of politics.
Best to make a clean break.

Sorry you have your heart set on Hillary, but she is just not what the rest of us want in a leader.

[Ian_walker]

200. I support BOTH candidates. I support UNITY. I support SIXTEEN YEARS

I am not bothered which one is top of the ticket.

I do like giving NeoConMen Nightmares though.

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate.

The NeoConMen hate Obama
The NeoConMen hate Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Kerry
The NeoConMen hate Bill Clinton
The NeoConMen hate Gore
The NeoConMen hate JFK
The NeoConMen hate Carter

[JackORoses]

209. I see you support copy n paste.

Hillary Clinton is not a representative of unity. She never has been.
It is her time that is over.

It is rather amusing watching all you Hillarites running about screaming about unity and Dream Tickets.
Negotiating is one of the final stages of loss.

[Ian_walker]

213. Ask the same question get the same answer

Why should I get RSI?

[krkaufman]

186. Well, Hillary's pretty much killed her chances at the VP spot, I would think ...

... unless she thinks denigrating Obama's qualifications relative to the Republican candidate will somehow boost her into the VP slot as our "Cheney" (a comparison growing far too similar each campaign day).

[Ian_walker]

189. If Obama wants to win he has to start talking UNITY

[krkaufman]

192. He needs to continue fighting for the nomination

He should not let his guard down, as Howard Wolfson would likely bash him over his gracious head.

I think it wildly unreasonable to be demanding that Obama needs to be talking "UNITY" given what Sen. Clinton and her campaign have been doing and saying for the last two weeks. Once Hillary concedes the victory and the top-of-the-ticket to Obama, *then* Obama can start active discussions with Democratic leaders on how best to re-unify the party behind him.

[Ian_walker]

195. Here from a previous post what Obama can do.

Below I have rewritten the quick draw competition version of the Chris Weigant speech (follow this link for the original version of the speech)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-weigant/how-obama-could-wrap-it-u_b_85595.html

I would prefer that BOTH candidates make the THE STRATEGIC WINNING SPEECH but I will be happy with either

THE TACTICAL WINNING SPEECH
I call it the quick draw competition because the Candidate who first makes this speech wins the the unity and undecided voters of the Democratic party and with this middle ground the Democratic nomination for President. They also win the Super Delegates because they are the long term members of the Democratic Party and will vote for the Unity Candidate.

Speech 1
"I would like to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Our party is now pretty equally divided between myself and Senator (Obama/Clinton). The race is about tied. We are obviously the two strongest candidates this party has to offer to win the White House in 2008. We both have our relative strengths, and much of the electorate is genuinely conflicted over who to select in the voting booth. Some say this is fracturing our party, but I don't believe that is true. The Republican Party is divided because of antipathy among their different factions -- but I'm proud to say that our party is conflicted over who is the best between two very good choices.

So I would like to take this opportunity to offer Senator (Obama/Clinton). the Vice Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket, should I be nominated for President. Should they be nominated, and should they offer the same to me, I am publicly saying I would accept that as well. I think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. I challenge my opponent to do the same."
Cue Instant pandemonium! Among loud cheers and a few groans from supporters of the candidate that did not make the speech.

---

THE STRATEGIC WINNING SPEECH
This version of the speech leaves the contest open but runs it without internecine war and unites the whole Democratic Party. I wonder if Pelossi, Howard Dean, Chris Redfern, George Stephanopoulos and the growing number of other Democrats are mediating how the deal can be done? A joint non aggression pact of not putting out tactical version of the Chris Weigant speech instead to put out this strategic version of the speech.

Speech 2
"We would like instead to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Our party is now pretty equally divided between ourselves. The race is about tied. We are obviously the two strongest candidates this party has to offer to win the White House in 2008. We both have our relative strengths, and much of the electorate is genuinely conflicted over who to select in the voting booth. Some say this is fracturing our party, but we don't believe that is true. The Republican Party is divided because of antipathy among their different factions -- but we are proud to say that our party is conflicted over who is the best between two very good choices.

So we would like to take this opportunity to offer each other the Vice Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket, should we be nominated by the party for President. Should the other be nominated, we are publicly saying we would accept that as well. We think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. We challenge our party to do the same."
Cue very long standing ovation

The choice is there for the candidates to take.

But it has become a quick draw competition, to see which one says speech first:

Here is a link to the original thread.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4952954&mesg_id=4952954

[krkaufman]

197. But only one side needs to back off the "internecine warfare"

It is inarguable that Obama's campaign has been hardly negative toward Clinton in the fashion that the Clinton campaign has towards Obama. This campaign could go on for months, and I'd love it, if Clinton weren't distorting Obama's record and promoting the Republican candidate over a Democratic candidate.

Hillary has jumped the snark in promoting McCain. Obama is not the candidate that needs to make an offer of peace.

[Ian_walker]

207. Both Candidates need to start talking UNITY

A look through this forum shows both parties are guilty of some small amount of "internecine warfare" it is nothing like the scale of things in GOP though. I can be readily ignored.

[krkaufman]

212. "I can be readily ignored"

Humility is a fine trait.

Re: "A look through this forum shows ..."

If you're referring to the DU supporters of both candidates, I couldn't agree more. If you're talking about the official positions, tactics and statements of the campaigns, themselves, I would have to differ.

I, too, can (and should regularly) be ignored.

:toast:

[Ian_walker]

247. No one should be ignored...

Especialy those who can see a strategy.

[krkaufman]

267. Umm... check your previous post on this branch. n/t

[Ian_walker]

269. Ah "I" see "It"

Bound to be some errors in my typing occasionally. One does ones best.

To expand on the point.

Yes people on this forum say bad things.
At least some involved the worst are mere Rove Trolls or their puppets.
As to the rest people get too swept up in the moment. The top pinned post in this section of the forum makes things clear.

Thank you for your kind efforts

[Political Heretic]

187. I agree. An Obama / Clinton ticket is an obvious choice, since he's leading the nomination race.

And its time to put this thing to an end.

[Ian_walker]

190. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

Now is the time for UNITY.

[Zhade]

198. No. Clinton is unfit for office.

She doesn't DESERVE a place on the ticket. She's a loser.

[Ian_walker]

204. Democratic party supporters get behind the nomination

Real Democratic Party supporters will get behind the Democratic Party Nominee whichever it is.

I want them Both.

I want the Dream Ticket
I want UNITY

UNITY is what will win.
UNITY is what the NeoConMen fear
UNITY is the Gift that keeps giving...NeoConMen Nightmares
UNITY is a landslide
UNITY is Strategic Momentum
UNITY is 16 years of power
UNITY is a Democratic Party House of Representatives
UNITY is a Democratic Party Senate
UNITY is the NeoConMen buried

I do like giving NeoConMen Nightmares though. :D :D }(

[Lord Helmet]

206. Since Hilary likes McCain so much she should run as his VP.

she's pretty much a republican anyway

[Ian_walker]

208. Even the NeoConMen hate McCain

Err your post is stretching a little.

I do like giving NeoConMen Nightmares though. Winding up the Rove trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun! :D

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum is Soooo Much fun! :D

301. Ah but UNITY is a stategy that gives NoeConMen NIGHTMARES

And I Just Lurrrve giving Nightmares to NeoConMen

DREAM TICKET you know it makes sense!

UNITY the gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares
DREAM TICKET another gift that just keeps giving... NeoConMen Nightmares

Terrify a NeoConMan today. While Drinking coffee in the Mall say to your Friend DREAM TICKET. Even if you whisper it a NeoConMen will hear it clear across the other side of the Mall. Try it really works.

And I do love giving NeoConMen Nightmares. And winding up the Rove trolls on this forum is just Soooo Much fun!

DREAM TICKET what all NeoConMen Hate. Winding up the Rove Trolls on this forum really is fun!

The NeoConMen hate Obama

[ContinentalOp]

210. This should be called by its proper name...

the REPUBLICAN dream ticket. It would guarantee another "SIXTEEN YEARS" of Republican rule.

[Ian_walker]

211. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

DREAM TICKET is chance to realy bash the NeoConMen

UNITY is what terrifies NeoConMen

You know UNITY makes sense because NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words:

DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?

Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound gorrila sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room? Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency. It means a raft of candidates for both presidency, representatives and senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America. It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

UNITY is not just a win. It is a LANDSLIDE.

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change.

They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half-fat-liberal McCain. If you want a liberal in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democrat, Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET!

[istopforcookies]

214. Clinton/Obama Go Go Go!

Its not the Clintons.

Its Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Try Again/

[Ian_walker]

217. UNITY is about the whole Democratic Party

That is what a strategic victory is about.

[ecstatic]

222. How do black voters feel about sending Obama

to the bottom position after his clear lead?

I was for that so called "Dream Ticket." That was before HRC took things to an uber-nasty level. I just.don't.feel.the.same. about her anymore.

Remember?



:puke:

[Ian_walker]

224. No clear lead it is a statistical dead heat

Sorry to burst you bubble but

So far the Democratic Party nomination is a Statistical Dead Heat.

The Facts
In terms of Delegates
Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
Neither candidate is any where near that.
Obama has 1,387 or 52%
Clinton has 1,229½ or 47%
Edwards (suspended not withdrawn) has 26 or 1%

Do the math
1,387 + 1,229 = 2,616 total Delegate Votes decided (we will ignore the half vote for now)
4,047 - 2,616 = 1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared.
Now some of that is promised votes from super Delegates but there are still some 600 outstanding Delegate votes and about 300 Super Delegate votes to be decided.

Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
If Florida's and Michigan's delegates are counted, the requirement is 2,207½ votes out of 4,414 (now we had better see where that half vote went)

Oh and Clinton is ahead in the popular vote by about 32,000 ballots.

1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared Now you can try to Fox news that in Floria that any way you want.

Me I will let the Democratic Party decide.

I will be happy with either of them as President but what I want is both as President. I want 16 years.

It is a Dead Heat
So much so that Howard Dean has said on ABC television "If we have to sit the two candidates down together or their campaigns down together and try to figure out how to make peace and have a convention that's going to work, then that's fine,"

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy as being considerably more important than yours.

And DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some candidates or their supporters ego.

But
I want UNITY.
I want the NeoConMen to have a living Nightmare
I want 16 years
I want a Democratic party landslide
I want Strategic Momentum
I want a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
I want a Democratic Party Senate landslide
I want the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.
What was that tactic you were on about?

[goclark]

239. Rosa Parks held the answer to that one ~

Barack is not stuck on stupid!
Not going to the back of the bus unless HE wants to or the voters decide fair and square that HE did not win first place.

He does not have to listen to George Wallace Clinton decide that is where he needed to ride.

If it goes down any other way,signs and plane tickets will be needed headed for Denver.

I've never been so it should be a nice trip for Senior -goclark!

I will be right there in Denver if they mess with Obama.

[Ian_walker]

244. I leave calling a contest before its done to Fox news in Florida

As I pointed out in the previous post.

[goclark]

255. Bill Clinton is the "decider" and he has deemed it over

[Ian_walker]

259. Do not fib. You will only get caught

Bill clinton has said no such thing.

[goclark]

262. I heard Bill today say that with her states and his states

that would be a winning ticket.

I know what I heard.

He did not have to say that she would be the President and Obama would be at the back of the bus.

We all know that the back of the ticket is the only place that he wants Obama.

Off to donate to Obama!

Thanks for the inspiration.

[Ian_walker]

265. Err your answer seems a little muddled (may be redo?)

But I am glad to hear you are going to donate to the Democratic party.

[mculator]

235. DREAM TICKET SUPPORTER HERE... K&R!!

[Ian_walker]

237. 69% of Democratic voters now support the DREAM TICKET News Week Poll

You are in the majority good to see you. :)

[mculator]

238. Careful, it exposes Hillary and Obama haters.

Although you'll only hear from one of those groups on the DU. I wish supporters of either candidate would realize you can't simply anti Clinton or anti Obama and still carry water in arguments. Around here, you can, apparently.

Edit: for proof of this exposure... read thread above.

[Ian_walker]

243. UNITY is about loyalty

It is not just a strategy it is a tactical test.

Those who post threads that divide the Democratic party are showing their true colours. As I amd sure you too are noting.

The anti UNITY threads are a great way of flush them out.

[mod mom]

241. Wow someone w an anarchist symbol preaching "dream ticket"?

[Ian_walker]

242. UNITY is what wins. UNITY is a landslide. UNITY is 16 years!

I have always been a practical anarchist. Anarchist by ideals practical by nature. Freedom above all but realise the world you live. Deal in solutions. You may be interested know many great politicians are anarchist by ideal.

Ideals are navigational aid.

253. What exactly is the "dream ticket?" It can't possibly be

Obama/Clinton - she'd drag him down with her.

[Ian_walker]

258. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech and be the UNITY candidate

You just have to sh*t and get off the potty.

Obama will not win the nomination if he is not able to take the whole party him.

He has to start talking UNITY because the clock is ticking.

So far only one candidate has said the Dream Ticket is on the cards.

Clinton has twice said she is considering it and recognises that the voters want it.

UNITY is about both candidates and their supporters, uniting behind both candidates and the Democratic Party to pursue a strategic victory of 16 years in power; in the Presidency, Senate and Congress.

Below I have rewritten the quick draw competition version of the Chris Weigant speech (follow this link for the original version of the speech)
As you can see it was originaly written for Obama
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-weigant/how-obama-could-wrap-it-u_b_85595.html

THE TACTICAL WINNING SPEECH
I call it the quick draw competition because the Candidate who first makes this speech wins the the unity and undecided voters of the Democratic party and with this middle ground the Democratic nomination for President. They also win the Super Delegates because they are the long term members of the Democratic Party and will vote for the Unity Candidate.

Speech 1
"I would like to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Our party is now pretty equally divided between myself and Senator (Obama/Clinton). The race is about tied. We are obviously the two strongest candidates this party has to offer to win the White House in 2008. We both have our relative strengths, and much of the electorate is genuinely conflicted over who to select in the voting booth. Some say this is fracturing our party, but I don't believe that is true. The Republican Party is divided because of antipathy among their different factions -- but I'm proud to say that our party is conflicted over who is the best between two very good choices.

So I would like to take this opportunity to offer Senator (Obama/Clinton). the Vice Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket, should I be nominated for President. Should they be nominated, and should they offer the same to me, I am publicly saying I would accept that as well. I think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. I challenge my opponent to do the same."
Cue Instant pandemonium! Among loud cheers and a few groans from supporters of the candidate that did not make the speech.
THE STRATEGIC WINNING SPEECH
This version of the speech leaves the contest open but runs it without internecine war and unites the whole Democratic Party. I wonder if Pelossi, Howard Dean, Chris Redfern, George Stephanopoulos and the growing number of other Democrats are mediating how the deal can be done? A joint non aggression pact of not putting out tactical version of the Chris Weigant speech instead to put out this strategic version of the speech.

Speech 2
"We would like instead to address the people in the Democratic Party for a moment.

Our party is now pretty equally divided between ourselves. The race is about tied. We are obviously the two strongest candidates this party has to offer to win the White House in 2008. We both have our relative strengths, and much of the electorate is genuinely conflicted over who to select in the voting booth. Some say this is fracturing our party, but we don't believe that is true. The Republican Party is divided because of antipathy among their different factions -- but we are proud to say that our party is conflicted over who is the best between two very good choices.

So we would like to take this opportunity to offer each other the Vice Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket, should we be nominated by the party for President. Should the other be nominated, we are publicly saying we would accept that as well. We think both of us should get behind the idea of a 'dream ticket' right here on this stage. We challenge our party to do the same."
Cue very long standing ovation

The choice is there for the candidates to take.

That it will be a Democrat who is next President of the USA there is no doubt.

But it has become a quick draw competition, to see which one says the magic two words first:

DREAM TICKET

And Clinton is going for the gun...

Because the polarize-able supporters are decided and wedded to their camp. Obama-ite or Clinton-ite. Those will stay with their candidate. The people the contest is now being fought over are the vast majority of unity Democrats. They sway one then they sway the other. What sways them most is punishing those who attack Democrats. Voters showed in New Hampshire and Michigan what can happen to a candidate or camp who is not out to unite. Democratic Party voters also punished Obama in Texas and Ohio for assuming he was more important than the party. Democratic Party voters want UNITY.

Howard Dean has said he does not want to be at the Democratic convention mediating the candidate. The Super Delegates will ignore all the fake democrats the GOP sent to game the Democratic Party nomination in Red States and they will vote their conscience and vote for the Democratic Party Unity Candidate whom so ever that may be.

The first Candidate to say they will take Democratic party down the unity road to the DREAM TICKET will win all those voters in the middle and the Super Delegates too because what the Democratic Party wants is UNITY.

Because; what true Democratic Party supporter, would be satisfied with just Four or Eight years of Democrat Rule?

That is the reason NeoConMen are Terrified of two little words:

DREAM TICKET

Why do the GOP have nightmares about it?

Why is DREAM TICKET the thousand pound guerrilla sitting among all the breakables in the dainty GOP room?

Why do NeoConMen glance at it and then hold their hands up to blinker their eyes, muttering "Can't see it, Can't see it, Can't see it." hopping that will make it go away?

Because as any loyal Democrat can see, it is not just a single candidate or a mere 4 or 8 years of presidency.

It means a raft of candidates for both presidency, congress and senate; and time enough in office that they can bring about true change and the dawn of a New Democratic Age for America.

It means Democrats at their convention with the next two winning candidates already lined up and shouting "16 years, Sixteen Years, SIXTEEN YEARS!"

Because voters throughout the country are now hungry for change.

They are sick of the Republicans damaging the US economy. They are sick of the Iraq war. They are sick of the American image being dragged through the mud. They sick of rising gas at the pump. They are sick of the dollar in their pocket being worth half of what it was. They are sick of it all. Most of all they are sick of the NeoConMen and their lies and deceit. And they are hungry for change.

If McCain has the GOP nomination over the Conservative Huckabee it just proves voters want a liberal in charge. McCain just means the Democrats have already won the next election he is already behind in the polls against both Democratic Party Candidates and that means voters even former Republicans are hungry for change. Voters hungry for change are not going to go for the half-fat-liberal McCain. If you want a liberal in charge your going to VOTE THE FULL CREAM and vote Democrat, Obama or Clinton.

BUT frighten a NeoConMan today with just two simple words.

DREAM TICKET!

Because that would not be just a tactical victory of a four to eight year presidency. That would be the STRATEGIC victory of a Democratic Age. That is why "Obama-Clinton or a Clinton-Obama ticket." is the Ticket that gives the NeoConMen nightmares. And the first Candidate to articulate that they will move the Democratic party to the DREAM TICKET will win that candidacy.

No If Buts or Maybes THE CANDIDATE WHO SAYS IT WILL BE the Democrat Candidate and the next President of th United States of America.

[Vinca]

261. The thought makes me ill. nt

[Ian_walker]

263. UNITY is what gives NeoConMen Nightmares...

I can not think of a better recomendation.

[Political Heretic]

260. Lie. The nomination is not a statistical dead heat.

Because it isn't decided by poll.

It will be decided by:

1) who wins the most pledged delegates
2) who wins the popular vote
3) who wins the most states
4) who has the most money

In that order.

Right now one candidate has all of those things and the other candidate has her fake "experience" while losing in every category.

[Ian_walker]

264. I leave calling a contest before its done to Fox news in Florida

Sorry to burst you bubble but

So far the Democratic Party nomination is a Statistical Dead Heat.

The Facts
In terms of Delegates
Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
Neither candidate is any where near that.
Obama has 1,387 or 52%
Clinton has 1,229½ or 47%
Edwards (suspended not withdrawn) has 26 or 1%

Do the math
1,387 + 1,229 = 2,616 total Delegate Votes decided (we will ignore the half vote for now)
4,047 - 2,616 = 1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared.
Now some of that is promised votes from super Delegates but there are still some 600 outstanding Delegate votes and about 300 Super Delegate votes to be decided.

Without Florida and Michigan Either candidate need 2,024 out of 4,047
If Florida's and Michigan's delegates are counted, the requirement is 2,207½ votes out of 4,414 (now we had better see where that half vote went)

Oh and Clinton is ahead in the popular vote by about 32,000 ballots.

1,431 Delegate Votes still to be declared Now you can try to Fox news that in Floria that any way you want.

Me I will let the Democratic Party decide.

I will be happy with either of them as President but what I want is both as President. I want 16 years.

It is a Dead Heat
So much so that Howard Dean has said on ABC television "If we have to sit the two candidates down together or their campaigns down together and try to figure out how to make peace and have a convention that's going to work, then that's fine,"

Howard Dean is the Democratic Party strategist. I will take his opinion on Strategy as being considerably more important than yours.

And DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some candidates or their supporters ego.

But
I want UNITY.
I want the NeoConMen to have a living Nightmare
I want 16 years
I want a Democratic party landslide
I want Strategic Momentum
I want a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
I want a Democratic Party Senate landslide
I want the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.
What was that tactic you were on about?

[dysfunctional press]

273. 69% of democrats still giggle when they see the number "69".

nt

[Ian_walker]

274. 69 is sexy.

But I do not think it is 69% who giggle

[leftrightwingnut]

278. Go Ian! Too many bitter partisans in both camps.

They need to take a step back from their respective kool-aids, go outside and get some fresh air. Take a break and reflect on what's really important -- why we are having a primary in the first place: we need to beat the living shit out of McCain and send the neocons back whimpering to their dark, smelly little holes that they crawled out of.

O/C or C/O. It's coming, it's coming.

[Ian_walker]

279. Thank you for the support

Always worth bashing a NeoConMan though.

I do not see that half-fat-liberal mcCain getting in he is more accedent prone than Bush Jnr. and then ther is the very obvious health problem. A journalist almost asked him about IT to his... err face this week.

[Zuiderelle]

280. That tells me that 69% of the people answering that poll are smarter than half the people here.

[Ian_walker]

282. Don't let a few Rove Trolls and partisan fools bother you.

Check the top pinned post in this section of the forum. Their time is limited. And every day it is a dead heat the Dream Ticket Solution becomes more of a certainty.

UNITY is the only option.

Surpringly the Rove Trolls and partisan fools have contributed to it inevitability. :D

[Zuiderelle]

283. How true that is. The discord they've injected here will unite us.

[Ian_walker]

285. Very True. Very True

Every day of impasse is step toward the Dream Ticket. And every day means more Democratic Party voters and Money as the Democratic Party Primary fills the media.

But it is time for candidates to start talking UNITY.

Either Or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech.

And Talking UNITY is what will win the Democratic Party nomination.

[KoKo]

281. You mean that "Dream Ticket" of Hillary/Obama? Yeah!

It's the only way I could "hold nose" and vote for either of them...because I don't like either of them...but together...I figure they could WIN in November..given the Idiot they are up against!

Check this out for a "Hoot" about what we Dems are dealing with. A "fun watch" if you can still have any sense of humor about all this...

[Ian_walker]

284. Either or Both Candidates can make the UNITY speech

The DREAM TICKET gives the NeoConMen nightmares I can not think of anything better.

[ORDem]

293. Any ticket with Hillary on it is a nightmare IMHO.

We don't need anymore "triangulation" politics, overt compromises or fence sitting, or kow-towing to every corporate whim. She is fine as a Senator, nothing more.

:dem:

[Ian_walker]

294. UNITY is about loyalty

Real Democratic Party supporters will get behind the candidate the Democratic Party nominates.

[ecstatic]

296. OMG. You can't be serious

I'm sure the commission for your efforts will be nice though.

[Ian_walker]

297. I am 100% serious about about Democratic Party UNITY

Because the DREAM TICKET is a real strategy and not some candidates or their supporters ego.

I want UNITY.
I want the NeoConMen to have a living Nightmare
I want 16 years
I want a Democratic party landslide
I want Strategic Momentum
I want a Democratic Party House of Representatives landslide
I want a Democratic Party Senate landslide
I want the NeoConMen buried
I want UNITY
I want the DREAM TICKET

Now that is a strategy.

I don't get paid by the way, saying it just shows what a fool you are.

[Ian_walker]

299. YAY! Both candidates campaigns are now talking Dream Ticket!

See! The Democratic Party Candidates do listen to Democratic Party voters want!
