Can you think of any person you'd rather have as President than Bernie Sanders?

[garybeck]

yes or no.

n/t

[FarLeftFist]

1. NO. I would love to live to see a Sanders/Warren ticket.

[Marie Marie]

5. That would be my Dream Team

[trueblue2007]

23. yeah.... the current president we have now. PRESIDENT OBAMA

[LynneSin]

33. +1

[savalez]

40. +1

[Bozita]

19. + 1,000

[dflprincess]

2. No n/t

[teddy51]

3. Not really! Maybe Mike Papantonio, but hey thats just me. n/t

[garybeck]

4. how about mike for VP or attorney general?

[teddy51]

10. Whatever, I really like this guy and I have no idea whether he would even be

interested in running for office. The guy is a lawyer, he is smart, he is a Democrat, he has a definite opinion, and I agree with him on 99.99% of his opinion.

[cyglet]

6. No

but you'd have to convince an awful lot of people to quit voting against their own self interests.

[housewolf]

7. Well.... maybe

Eliot Spitzer, I love the man for his Wall Street prosecutions. He'd do it again if he was president.

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. No. Maybe Alan Grayson or Elizabeth Warren, but Bernie is Brilliant. n/t

[Odin2005]

9. Nope.

[JDPriestly]

11. Love Bernie Sanders, and would be happy if he were president.

I'm not so happy with Obama.

[lonestarnot]

12. Nope.

[dkf]

13. Howard Dean.

[garybeck]

18. i live in vermont and i disagree.

I live in vermont. Dean couldn't hold a candle to bernie. Imho.

[dkf]

22. I'd be curious to see how Bernie ran a state.

If he kept spending under control I would consider it but otherwise I don't trust him to be practical.

[tblue37]

26. Why not? Dean was extremely effective (and practical) as DNC chairman. nt

[garybeck]

43. because we had Dean as Governor for 8 years and

every election he TALKED about a lot but when he got elected he didn't DO most of the things he did. I will credit him for Dr. Dinosaur. But he talked and talked about solar and renewables and NEVER DID ANYTHING in his 8 years. Ironically it was only when we had a republican governor after him that we got solar tax credits in Vermont.

[piratefish08]

28. we just moved to VT a few months ago - we LOVE it here!

go Bernie!

[ThomWV]

14. Elizabeth Warren

But Bernie will certainly do just fine until she is elected.

[Texas Lawyer]

15. no

[Dragonbreathp9d]

16. Dennis Kucinich- but only by a little

[Rowdyboy]

17. I'd love to see Gore re-elected......

Maybe Rachel Maddow as vp

In my fantasies

[nobodyspecial]

20. America is not going to elect a socialist president

but in my fantasy world, I would love him as president.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. Well, he does call himself a Socialist Democrat.

I don't know how anyone could not like Bernie once they knew him and his stance on the issues.

[Modern_Matthew]

24. Besides the proletariat... nope. :-) nt

[tblue37]

25. I like several people: Sanders, Howard Dean, Grayson, Gen. Clark, Elizabeth Warren.

All are good, effective, ass-kicking liberals.

[Raine]

27. NO. nt

[EFerrari]

29. No.

:)

[MineralMan]

30. Yes. nt

[hifiguy]

31. There are some other good possibilities, but

no one I'd rather see than Bernie.

[bigmonkey]

32. Does everyone know that he started as mayor of Burlington, VT?

So, he actually has some executive skill, in fact pretty good success. So, there's that.

[TBF]

34. love him. K&R nt

[undeterred]

35. Russ Feingold.

Russ is good at working with members of both parties, he is brilliant on foreign policy, he is a Harvard lawyer who is wicked smart, a passionate progressive, and would make a great president.

[coalition_unwilling]

38. Agree with you about Feingold - still remember his brilliant '92

campaign against the troglodyte Bob Kasten (gave new meaning to 'ugh')

[pipi_k]

36. Yes n/t

[Rockholm]

37. Yes. Hillary Clinton.

[CTyankee]

39. Right now I'd like to see Elizabeth Warren as president.

We need a talented, progressive woman and she's it in my book.

Bernie is terrific, tho. He could be a great VP, but that won't happen since he is not a Dem...

[savalez]

41. Yes.

[Puzzledtraveller]

42. Dean for me
