Poll question: Obama's choice of running mate will:

[babylonsister]

1. I think you need an 'all of the above' category. ; ) nt

[JeffR]

2. Added.

Thanks!

[babylonsister]

3. LOL! nt

[Gregorian]

4. LEAVE THE BAKING GROUP ALONE!

[JohnnyLib2]

5. Other: be anticlimactic.

:kick:

[blondeatlast]

9. +1. nt

[nsd]

11. +2

This week-long tease was silly.

[Naturyl]

6. All of the above

And I'm also gonna forget how many homes I own.

Nah, just kidding. I'm fine with whoever it is. Yes, even Bayh... if it must be him.

[terrya]

7. LOL

You should nominate yourself for a DUzy this week, Jeff. :-)

[gateley]

8. Confirm that Lee Mercer should have been our nominee.

And believe me, I'm letting loose with the "I told you so's" -- :grr:

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. I voted I'm smarter than that Obama guy

but I did that with my alter ego who is

Mercer

[melody]

12. Who else but Mercer?

The man won scholar of the world in World Management. I mean, sheesh.

[saltpoint]

13. I've always believed in Lee Mercer.

He's brilliant, he's of the people, he's loaded with psychotropics, and he only has one house.

[JeffR]

14. Only one that he remembers, anyway.

;-)

[saltpoint]

15. : ) Lee's a man of the multitudes.

Hiya, JeffR.

Happy Waiting for Obama Night on DU.

[JeffR]

17. I'm blessed to have a ton of work tonight

but haven't been able to resist periodic dashes to DU just to watch the pot simmering. When it boils over, it's going to be something to see.

[saltpoint]

19. Yes. Put on the hip waders, invoke a cadre of favorite saints,

and hold on for dear life.

[JeffR]

20. FEMA needs a cyber-squad.

On second thought, best to leave FEMA out of it, I guess.

[saltpoint]

21. LOL! it ran pretty good uner Democratic presidents.

Under Dubya, the wheels just came off.

If Obama goes on to win I hope he can restore FEMA and the ida along with it that WE are the government, and that folks in trouble deserve assistance.

[JeffR]

22. Immediate top to bottom reform of FEMA in the first 60 days

of an Obama Administration would send a powerful message.

Then on to MSHA, the FDA, the SEC, the FCC, etc.

[saltpoint]

23. I like the way you think.

That's what's needed and I'm hoping the Obama win in November is by such a convincing margin that no one will stand in the way of the reform of those organizations.

I might even move the FCC into second place behind FEMA, or run the rehaul simultaneous to it.

JeffR, I'm homesick for some good government. I just know it's out there somewhere.

[JeffR]

24. Maybe something sweeping like announcing reform of all

Federal agencies within the first X months of taking office. Obama understands that the grand gesture and pragmatic action aren't mutually exclusive. I think he's going to serve up both steak and sizzle.

[saltpoint]

25. And I'm hungry for both.

I'm going with your call. I think it will happen.

And it definitely needs to.

[AlCzervik]

16. Am i the only one that cares about eradicating the disease Jeb Bush brought up all in the house?

[JeffR]

18. Obama might simply feel Biden or someone else would

end the plague more effectively than Mercer.

I would disagree with that, of course. But Mercer never said he was running for anything but the top slot. He and his 18 million supporters just need time to heal. At least we'll be able to hear his name read into the record.
