Daschle - Pelosi will issue answer to SOTU

[grasswire]

What do you think about that?

I'm disappointed.

The Democratic Party refuses to use its moral authority and draft someone who has been through the struggles for workers and minorities to challenge Bush.

Damn. I don't think America relates too well to Daschle and Pelosi.

1. Pelosi's great

She's the top Dem in the House.

[Room101]

2. It should have been Ted Kennedy!

I saw his speech on CSPAN last week and it was a home run.
I'm disappointed. :(

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. If Kennedy gave it they'd be doing "blonde in the pond" one liners all

night.

I will wait and see but I think Pelosi will connect.

[mlawson]

17. Why wasn't it??? Because it *might* have helped us in November!

We couldn't have THAT, after all....

[wysimdnwyg]

3. What about...

Sen. Byrd?

[mike1963]

4. Yep, Byrd, Kennedy, even Levin would have been better. Daschle is too

DINOish...

[Hubert Flottz]

5. I'll vote for that!

Senator Byrd will wait until tomorrow on the senate floor where it goes into the record!

[jbfam4]

7. good point

about it being in the record....will keep C Span on so we won't miss him. Is there any site that shows the line up of Senators waiting to talk? I don't want to miss my hero, Senator Byrd.

8. I'm underwhelmed.

Last year, Gephardt all but, oh, never mind.

My choice would be Peter DeFazio.

[tabasco]

11. I'd choose Harold Ford

He is a plain speaker and makes a great impression. He is young and has lots of energy.

[Enraged_Ape]

9. Oh, my Gawd. Daschle!!?

We could start a whole new drinking game wagering on how long it will take for Daschle to say that Bush sounded "confident", "inspiring", or "like a true leader", or lauding him for "presenting his case to the American people". I'll say any of these statements are worth chugging an entire bottle of Jack Daniels. I know that's what I'll be drinking if Daschle is involved in the post-fiasco response.

[Postman]

10. I think they both have spines of jellyfish and are too camera hungry.

Cut the BS Tom and Nancy. Call these people on the carpet for what they really are - american oligarch/fascists

[leftchick]

12. I saw them both on c-span today giving a "pre-buttal"... my reaction...

**YAWWWWWNNNNN***..... it was that bad! Daschle was PATHETIC, Pelosi hardly better and they should be ashamed to call themseleves Democrats! :grr: :grr: :grr:

[mlawson]

16. Why are we not surprised???? This is the gang who couldn't

get their you-know-whats straight, if their lives depended on it.

Gee, how many time will Tom call bush "the President", as he squeaks his admoration for him??? Why the HELL wasn't it the Dem candidates??? Do the top Dems have a CLUE?????? :argh:

[youngred]

13. I think that's great

Pelosi would be great, Daschle...not so much

[fencesitter]

14. Shoot, I was hoping for..

Michael Moore and Al Franken, Or Ivans and Krugman. But I guess they have to be elected officials huh. I wish our elected dems could spout as well.

[mlawson]

15. %$^%^%*&*%$(*!!!!!!!!!!!!! The top Dems really don't want to win,

in November, do they?????? I can't f-----g believe this!!!!

Gee, what will lil' mousy Daschle SQUEAK about tonight????

[KamaAina]

18. I'd go for Neil Abercrombie (HI 1st)

I just heard him at an MLK Day dinner on Friday. He was on fire! He used the phrase "appointed pResident", in public, not once but three times, then tore into Bush* for "doing everything he could to undermine Martin's legacy"!! He even pointed out that Martin was in Memphis to support striking garbage collectors when he was murdered. I was like, "Get this guy on a plane to Iowa!"

Oh, right, we can't have anyone tearing into Bush*, much less questioning his legitimacy, on national TV, now can we? My bad... </sarcasm>

[Skittles]

19. I hope her face isn't stretched too tight to speak

don't flame me; she's had so much freaking surgery she has a permanent look of surprise going and I find it distracting.

[Cocoa]

20. it should be quite a contrast

Tom and Nancy will show the public which party cares about the country and is competent to lead.

[Hippo_Tron]

21. They gave the prebuttle, Feinsteinne and somebody else...

Are doing the response.

[mlawson]

22. You sure??? They might be as bad....

Why the HELL couldn't it be our remaining candidates??? Because that might make SENSE?????? It boggles the mind.

[grasswire]

23. why not Menendez?????

Or someone from the Congressional Black Caucus????

Geez.
