Your dream ticket for 2008???

[Darkhawk32]

Ok, who would you like to see run for President and Vice President in 2008?

Anybody at all, let 'er rip!

I'd like to see....

Kerry/Dean

or

Gore/Dean

or

hold on to your hats ... Kerry/Gore (flip them if neccessary, because either way works for me)

[HEyHEY]

1. Franken/Clinton

:silly:

[bahrbearian]

10. So Franken can resign and Clinton can have a 3rd term, right?

Kuchinich.

[orpupilofnature57]

22. Hey, we'd be better off no matter what!

Bill could revolutionize the V.P

[RoeBear]

29. Would that be legal?

Clinton running for VP?

[bahrbearian]

72. Yes it would, Franken already proposed it to Clinton

But Clinton doesn't think Franken would step aside.

[Harksaw]

77. I've heard no

I have read somewhere its not legal for anyone to run for VP who can not legally be President, but I can't find that in the constitution.

[yinkaafrica]

2. Please, no more Kerry for President! We need some new faces.

If we don't fix the way we vote, we will lose anyway.
I am firstly concerned about that.

[Clark2008]

3. Clark/Warner

Period.

[Siyahamba]

4. Kerry/Clark

[MajorFlaw]

9. Works for me.

n/t

[Clarkie1]

19. The right has successfully labeled and defined Kerry; that won't change

Also, at present Clark is a more effective leader than Kerry, in my opinion. If I am wrong in my opinion, the right has nevertheless certainly defined Kerry as ineffectual and indecisive.

I would like to see Kerry continue his outstanding career in the senate. He seems well-suited for that role. He has always struck me as a very thoughful deliberator and speaker for liberalism.

[pamela]

27. Sign me up for Kerry/Clark...

or Kerry/Conyers, Kerry/Bayh, Kerry/Obama, Kerry/Boxer, Kerry/Vilsack, Kerry/Feingold, Kerry/Edwards, Kerry/O'Malley...

[Township75]

5. Warner/Richardson

.

[discopants]

6. barney frank / barbara boxer

:)

[Barney Rocks]

39. I am down with that!!! n/t

[WestHoustonDem]

7. Boxer/Conyers

[rwenos]

8. Dean for America

Dean can use the next three years to consolidate his power and state a new vision. He can tell self-deprecating jokes about the Scream (which was overstated anyway), and build up promissory notes with the state parties.

Dean's VP candidate: a moderate southern Democrat, maybe from TN, Florida or Arkansas (any ideas?), or Evan Bayh.

What we need first and foremost is a Big Brain with Vision. Bill Clinton had it, Gore didn't, Kerry did but got screwed.

[marcologico]

11. Kerry/Conyers

Kerry/Gore works for me too, so does Kerry/Boxer.

Slogan: "A New Deal for a New Generation!"

[CatholicEdHead]

12. Dean/Kucinich

Or H. Clinton/Dean

H. Clinton/Kucinich

[bahrbearian]

14. I like that ticket.

[rwenos]

17. I Love Hillary, But She Ain't Happenin'

Too controversial. No appeal in middle America. I live in LA, and I'd love her here in California.

But Hill won't play in Peoria, let alone Tampa or Little Rock.

[MAlibdem]

67. I dont want H Clinton to get the nomination...

First of all this talk is fucking premature for everyone except those who live in NH and IA, we should be focusing on getting new congresspeople and senators into office in 2006.

Anyways, remember that Clinton was the first lady of ARKANSAS before the first lady of the US. She can only not play to middle america (whatever the fuck THAT is) because lazy media whores say she is without thinking. She's smart and talks to people about the issues, so she can connect with Americans with functioning brains...

[Dems4HowardDean]

13. Hillary/Dean

[hopein08]

15. Edwards/Feingold or Feingold/Edwards

[Darkhawk32]

16. Just a reminder.... there are no wrong answers...

speak your peace. :bounce:

[Clarkie1]

18. Clark/Obama 08' n/t

[nevergiveup]

34. Clark / Obama works for me and also

Clark / Richardson .. Richardson / Ford .. Warner / Obama

Rendell / Salazar .. Rendell / Warner .. Rendell / Obama

Clark / Rendell .. Clark / Warner .. Richardson / Rendell

No senators at top of ticket and sorry no Kerry, Dean or Clinton.

[nickshepDEM]

20. Bayh/Clark/Warner...

No particular preference for President or Vice President. Any two of those three paired up in a Presidential Election would make me HAPPY and CONFIDENT.

[EC]

21. Dean/Clark of vice/versa

anyone that is not a Senator or Representative...a Governor of Mayor has a better chance...

[KalicoKitty]

25. Dean/Clark or vice/versa for me, also!

I think Dean is great, and so dynamic. We need some backbone in our party!

[indypaul]

23. If we don't take back the Senate , House or both

in 2004 might as well forget 2008.

[satya]

24. Boxer/Kennedy-Schlossberg n/t

[marcologico]

43. Not bad. They'd at least take California and New York. n/t

[Leilani]

26. Clark/Feingold

The Integrity Ticket

Say what they mean & mean what they say.

[Dinger]

75. That's The Ticket, The Silver Bullet!

Wow!

[robbedvoter]

28. Clark/whomever

[indie_voter]

36. Me too. n/t

[faithfulcitizen]

62. me 3!

but i kinda like the idea of Bayh as VP.

[me b zola]

80. Me four!

eom

[Kazak]

30. Gore/Clinton

Hehe.

[Kazak]

32. Or...Clark/Gore

Hell yeah.

[Kazak]

33. We seriously need...

someone who can shepard us through this energy crisis, that's all I'm sayin'. This four more years of going in the wrong direction is not what we need right now, seriously.

[pstans]

38. You got that right

In 2008, the energy crisis will be the main issue, not Iraq and not terroism. (Check out www.kunstler.com for more info on what America will look like after cheap oil ends).

With the said, the door might be open to a more environmentally conscious candidate like Dean, Kucinich, or Gore.

My ideal ticket would be Dean/Feingold. The Bulldog and Pitbull would have the slogan, "We won't back down".

[StephanieMarie]

31. Boxer/Conyers

[iwantmycountryback]

35. Feingold/Clark

[Sparkly]

37. Clark/Somebody

Can't decide on the ideal VP pick.

[Geek_Girl]

40. Gore/Clark '08

:)

[me b zola]

41. Clark/Gore

Clark is a fabulous leader. I see in him that special charisma & ability to speak off the cuff, to say what he means & mean what he says. He is progressive, but the right wing-nuts won't be able to paint him as anti-American. And he will most definitely meet any criticism head-on, he won't allow the other side to push him around.

I like Gore, but we need the leadership of Clark, and Gore's influence, insider knowledge, and policy advisement as VP. Gore is young enough to take the big job 8 years later.

I don't like the idea of ANY Senators running--WE NEED THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

And I really dislike Richardson, he seems much too comfy with the powers that be.

[Clark2008]

54. I'm from Tennessee and I completely agree

Clark is where it's at! (And should have been in 2004)

I love, love, love, love, love Gore, but, alas, the real world has a perceived reality that Gore is a "whacko." (And, no, Cheswick, I'm not allowing the media to frame my opinion. I'm accepting that the media has framed OTHERS' opinions).

Clark is a liberal who speaks like a moderate - he'll fly well.

And, he'd be the president I was promised in 8th grade government class. :)

[me b zola]

61. Clark has that special something

that does not come along very often. As much admiration as I have for a few of our Congress members--Boxer, Kennedy being two of a handful that come to mind--for their integrity, leadership, & dedication to the Democratic principles, Clark stands apart.

We are convinced, but I would encourage our DU brothers & sisters to check him out...I mean really listen to him. Clinton had a special something that allowed him to thrive in a hostile environment. I contend that Clark has that...Plus more!

Yes, he will fly well.:kick:

[iamjoy]

42. Feingold, Warner, Richardson, Granholm

I know Michigan's gov isn't eligible, but you did say dream, right?
Some combination from the above group, maybe throw Barbara Boxer into the mix

[jayctravis]

44. Kerry/Gore

(ducks)

[jayctravis]

45. Gore/Boxer

[Donna Zen]

46. Clark/and anyone else who isn't afraid to stand up and tell the truth

n/t

[JaneQPublic]

47. Al Gore -- Howard Dean (nt)

[lojasmo]

48. Martin Sheen/Howard Dean N/T

[catbert836]

49. Edwards/Obama

They could generate a LOT of enthusiasm for 2008.

[trillian]

50. Clark/another truth seeker

As long as Clark is at the top of the ticket I would trust him to choose the right running mate

[abburdlen]

51. Clark/Cuomo

well you asked for a dream ticket

[kwolf68]

52. 2008 is long way off

While I admire, respect and believe in Wes Clark...what he brings to the table may not be as much needed.

If the war continues on a path to ruin as it has and America finally decides to stop marching our kids off to the graveyard and that PEACE is a true vision then military credentials are no longer important.

I honestly long for that day. I don't WANT it to be a litmus test that the President had to see battle and kill people. I'd like a President with a different vision in his heart. So keep that in mind.

That being said, I still would like an Al Gore/Russ Feingold ticket.

[Donna Zen]

53. Your assumption?

I do not need a president who has seen battle; but the Democratic party is seen as a party with weak to no national security credentials. In addition, if you want to break into the porter-piggy bank at the Pentagon, you will need someone who can be believed. Clinton's greatest failing was his need to permit that shit to continue. Clark and Kucinich were the only two candidates who proposed cutting the defense budget--or what Clark calls the "make-want budget" now out of those two, who could have actually done it?

Nevertheless, I support Clark and still do, because he is unafraid to stand up and he tells the truth. He is not a politician--thank the gods.

[quinnox]

55. H. Clinton or Kerry or Edwards

I like them all, in that order. I would love to see freepers head exploding if Hillary ran, it would be their worst nightmare. They always talk about her fearfully at free republic. I don't care if she is polarizing, so was Bush and he won anyway.
If not Hillary then Kerry or Edwards. Kerry could probably win if he ran again, he now has national name recognition and came awful close last time, while Edwards would be an energetic choice that would be hard to beat for the republicans.

Course all this is preliminary, I would have to see the final field of players before I made a solid decision.

[melnjones]

56. Clark/other person

I think Clark is the key to us taking back the White House.

[Warren DeMontague]

57. I Wish Bill Hicks Was Still Alive. n/t

[kk897]

64. I wish he was too, but...

if Bill Hicks had been alive after the election he would've died from ranting his head clean off (in E minor, of course).

[leyton]

58. Guiliani / Gingrich - bring on the moral values! eom

[GreenPoet64]

59. Boxer/Dean

[B0S0X87]

60. Richardson/Warner

woud be awesome.

[truebrit71]

63. CLARK/TBA

Time to pick someone from the deep-end of the Democratic gene pool...

[More Than A Feeling]

65. Gore/Feingold would rock my world!

Gore has come to life and would probably run a rip-snorting, freewheeling campaign this time around. He has nothing to lose, he has already been given up for dead, so he is free to go crazy and let it all hang out. Meanwhile, Russ Feingold is a paragon of integrity(or as close as a politician can come, for you cynical types:))

[NoPasaran]

66. Lincoln/Jefferson

You said to dream, right?

[zann725]

68. Kerry/Edwards - SECOND Term!

In honor of upcoming MLK Holiday..."I have a dream!"

[FrenchieCat]

69. For me, it's Clark/Obama, or

Clark/Warner
Clark/Feingold
Clark/Ford
Clark/Laundrieu

Warner, Feingold, Boxer, Kucinich, Dean, H. Clinton and Bayh all lacks national security experience which is what brought down John Kerry in the end. That type of expertise post 9/11 has got to be on the ticket....For that to be ignored is dumbfounding!

And Wes Clark is truly the only Dem who has the expertise and has experience leading. Sitting on committees does not equal expertise on any issue.

If there is a senator on the ticket....he/she has to be at the bottom 1/2.

[trezic]

70. LBJ/Edwards

The kid could learn a thing or two from the master.

[T Town Jake]

71. My sig line is the winning ticket. (n/t)

[Seabiscuit]

73. Dean/Boxer

[ErinGoBraghLess]

74. 2008 unbeatable

I would put myself on the ticket for Pres because no one could run this country better than me. Still thinking about who I want for my VP.

[madison2000]

76. A ticket out of the country, maybe to Canada or Australia n/t

[JNelson6563]

78. Gore/Dean

I think that would be great!

[LittleClarkie]

79. Kerry/Feingold

Best of both worlds for me.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

81. Jello/Pablum from the DLC...just like 2004's "Electability" ticket.

We certainly don't want to upset the "moderates" or "conservatives".

[Neshanic]

82. The Jello is too strong. DNC aks..."Can the jello be more pliant?"

[AntiCoup2K4]

83. Dean/Feingold

or Dean/Clark. Or Dean/Obama.
