Keith Richards??? karynnj Jan 2013 #54
Excuse I meant me Gov. Richardson of course Ann Richards would do as well Vincardog Jan 2013 #58

Depends...do you want to win, or make a statement? brooklynite Jan 2013 #11
I define "winning" LWolf Jan 2013 #14
...and electing a Republican who takes the wrong stance isn't a win either... brooklynite Jan 2013 #15
Of course not. LWolf Jan 2013 #16
Or win some.... brooklynite Jan 2013 #18
OK...so you assume it's HRC or defeat. Sad. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #20
No, and in fact I've already reached out to another prospective candidate... brooklynite Jan 2013 #24
Misunderstood you the. You're just anti-Grayson. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #25

So you believe that the net result of the President's first term has been a negative? brooklynite Jan 2013 #51
Not just sad. LWolf Jan 2013 #120
That is fucking reality. Until conditions change, that is what we have. bluestate10 Jan 2013 #89
It's impossible to CHANGE the conditions if we keep nominating centrists. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #94
That is "fucking" reality. LWolf Jan 2013 #119
If you accept "fucking reality", do you need a conceptual condom? Ken Burch Jan 2013 #137
No. I agree with your # 94. LWolf Jan 2013 #146

That was the basis of the HRC campaign, IIRC Ken Burch Jan 2013 #97
Ooo, ooo! Make a statement! That's the most important thing! Hekate Jan 2013 #100
If either runss, I will be supporting Clinton or Cuomo Godhumor Jan 2013 #12
If Cuomo did nothing but austerity as governor, he'll do nothing but austerity as president. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #22
Budget deficits have to be dealt with. Cuomo is enacting policy that reduce deficits while bluestate10 Jan 2013 #92
He won't be to the left of that as president, though, so what good is he? Ken Burch Jan 2013 #93
Cuomo probably wouldn't run against Clinton democrattotheend Jan 2013 #64
I still don't understand why most of RFK's kids backed HRC. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #99
Probably because they are not RFK, hardly remember Dad, and have moved on to the 21st century Hekate Jan 2013 #106

Howard Dean. sadbear Jan 2013 #13
I miss Howard Dean. I liked it when he growled, LOL. bettyellen Jan 2013 #19
Howard Dean is to the right of both Clinton and Obama on almost every issue Recursion Jan 2013 #27
'Cause he talks mean to Republicans. That seems to be enough for some. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2013 #33
Yeah, I'm afraid that's it Recursion Jan 2013 #35
Well, not all of us here on DU are as liberal as Obama Ter Jan 2013 #44

Let's ask Nader, Stein, Roseanne & Rocky about "statement" candidacies. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2013 #32
A progressive candidate in the Dem primaries isn't like backing Nader or Roseanne in the fall Ken Burch Jan 2013 #37
"Progressive ideas" may be popular, but when you put a face to that progressive.... Tarheel_Dem Jan 2013 #41
Actually, "that play" hasn't ever been DONE by this party in the fall. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #46
Okay, I'll kick your thread one last time. I have no "grudge against" progressives. Hell, I used.. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2013 #56
I didn't make ANYTHING up. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #66
I used to be a progressive, abet a pragmatic one. bluestate10 Jan 2013 #96
Not a valid characterization of progressives at all-and a slander against most of the poor, btw. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #110
Thank you! Well said. nt historylovr Jan 2013 #125
Your post is what used to separate us from teabaggers. Cheers to you for a most excellent analysis. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2013 #124

I am a Hillary supporter, but you make a great point that someone should run from the left of her. hrmjustin Jan 2013 #34
Ugh! Larrymoe Curlyshemp Jan 2013 #36
What does that mean? Ken Burch Jan 2013 #38

A race where HRC was nominated with no one else in the primaries would be passionless. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #102
I would be very surprised if Hillary Clinton was the nominee in 2016 Art_from_Ark Jan 2013 #45
You mean if she's nominated davidpdx Jan 2013 #47
I didn't list those people as running mate possibilities, OR assume she'd be nominated. n/t. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #68
By asking people for running mates for Clinton, you are assuming she will be the nominee davidpdx Jan 2013 #83
No, that wasn't what I meant, and I probably worded the OP unclearly. Ken Burch Jan 2013 #84
What a bunch of unqualified people you recommend as alternatives 1-Old-Man Jan 2013 #49
If HRC didn't run...who else would we have WITH foreign policy experience? Ken Burch Jan 2013 #74
Elizabeth Warren. I don't care what she has said about not wanting to.. Little Star Jan 2013 #52
How can we possibly know that? She has no record. cali Jan 2013 #126
Sen Warren should stay in the Senate and Grayson is unrealistic as far as winning WI_DEM Jan 2013 #53
Well, despite the order I listed the names, Grayson wasn't actually my FIRST choice Ken Burch Jan 2013 #72
