1. Carter cant be on the ticket

on edit/
DUH...one term...he is eligable...my bad.

Sounds good to me

[redqueen]

2. Sanders - Warren 2016

[hootinholler]

4. I could get behind that

I'd like to see Jimmy at State then.

[CTyankee]

10. I want that woman on top...

of the ticket, of course...

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Nah. Two women on the ticket won't fly.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. I think two women would be better than one

and yes I am talking about on the Presidential Ticket!



I think that having a man on as VP would be a distraction and confusing to low information voters.

If they are willing to vote for a woman at the top of the ticket then they should also be willing to vote for a woman at the bottom of the ticket..


I would tend to go with Warren/Napolitano

Former Homeland Security Secretary and Governor of a western state would be a nice compliment to the Senator.

5. Governor Jason Carter...

Might be a real possibility if he defeats Deal in November.

7. GMTA

6. This Carter

9. 2020 or 2024, sure n/t

[brooklynite]

12. I was under the impression that DU hated "dynasties"...

...or do progressives get a pass?

[antiquie]

21. I am not DU.

I do my best not to use labels.

[joeybee12]

8. Earl Warren and Dixie Carter?

[Rowdyboy]

15. Now that is one dream ticket for Republicans....

In my dreams anyway....

[joeybee12]

16. Because they're both deceased?

Probably...because you know if they could dig up Reagan, they'd nominate his corpse.

[Rowdyboy]

18. Actually neither would be welcome in todays Republican party....Hell they revile Earl Warren

and among Dixie Carter's last statements was that she was a libertarian and believed in legalizing prostitution and marijuana.

But the fact that they're both dead is also a positive factor in their favor.

[joeybee12]

20. And she was at the Democratic Convention in 1992 and 1996...

I think she was at the RNC in 2004, though.

[brooklynite]

11. A good way to lose 40 States?

[hughee99]

13. A half-term senator and a half-term governor? I wouldn't bet on it.

Yes, I know Carter also served a few years in the Georgia state senate.

[AtomicKitten]

23. never say never

We were told by his opponent Obama couldn't win in 2008 ... but really, after Palin was chosen to ride shotgun on the Republican ticket, anything can happen - anything. All bets are off.

[hughee99]

24. I didn't say it can't happen...

But it we both know it won't.

[AtomicKitten]

26. it's not likely

but recent memory pokes a hole in the metaphysical certitude it won't

plus I like surprises

[Rowdyboy]

14. Well Warren still isn't running but I could definitely get behind Lynda Carter for Vice president...

But wasn't she born on Paradise Island. I think she's like the queen or something....Wonder if she has her long form birth certificate?

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Jimmy Carter?

He'd be 92 in 2016.

[ecstatic]

19. Donning flamesuit. Too boring.

I'd vote for them (despite Carter's disappointing gun bill votes) but they wouldn't win the GE.

[book_worm]

22. No--let's see if he is elected Governor first

and I think it would be nice if he actually served out one term before seeking another office.
