GUT INSTINCT Poll: Who do you PREDICT will be the Dem moninee?

[mlawson]

Please, not necessarily (or probably) who you WANT, but at the end of the season, who do you *suspect* will give the nominee's speech at Boston??? Be objective, please!

I suspect it will be Kerry or Lieberman -- they have the insider clout, IMO.

Yeah, I know: "moninee".... Sorry.

1. Deadlocked convention = Gore/Clark

Too many regional candidates this time out.....

Deadlocked convention, nobody can get the 2,170 deleagtes needed to nominate. The convention turns to Al Gore and probably Wesley Clark. Gore will have to win it AGAIN.

[ObaMania]

20. I'm with you on this!

.. I just think that if Dean got it, he wouldn't win the presidency. We've seen it before with Dukakis. People seemed pretty psyched about him, but come election time..

[Tennessee Gal]

21. Absolutely right!

Unless Gore gets back in before then.

DRAFT GORE!!

2. Dean with Clarke as VP

And Kerry as Sec. of State. Not sure why on that part, I just had a weird day dream.

[Renew Deal]

3. Dean would make a far better VP.

[poskonig]

10. Why?

Dean brings no benefits as a VP and a lot of unnecessary baggage.

Without the organizational and fundraising stuff Dean hauls in at the top of the ticket, there isn't much point adding a queer-loving Northeastern liberal from a tiny state to the campaign.

[liberalnurse]

12. I think Bill Clinton for Sec. of State.

.

[southern democrat]

4. I voted Clark

But my gut feeling is possibily Gore

[papau]

5. Hillary?

I'd like it - but for now and for the forseeable future it is Dean vs Kerry, Clark, Edwards, and Gep - and I have no clue as to how it will turn out.

[Skip Intro]

6. Gut sez Clark

with Dean as VP.

Head sez Clark or Dean or Kerry...Edwards maybe as a long shot.

DG, CMB, AS, DK, BG, JL, imho, will be gone way before the covention - tho I hope DK stays in the race all the way thru, wins delegates, and forces himslef a prominent place at the convention. Any influence he can wield there would be to the nation's benefit.

[mlawson]

7. Clark??? Really surprised here. How does he do it?

Will the DLC/DNC back him, and pour everything they have into his candidacy?? That is the only way I see it happening.

[diamondsoul]

8. Nope, nope, and nope.

I seriously, honestly predict it will be Kucinich.

Laugh away, flame whatever it is ya'll feel like. I'm convinced you're in for a big surprise.

[WindRavenX]

11. I doubt it

It's probably going to be Dean.
During the debate, Kucinich showed that he will have serious problems with other debates- if he pulls that "hellooooo" thing on one of the major debates w/ Bush, his ass is grass.
Dean is gaining more and more momentum, and it seems Kerry is having some serious issues raising money and excitment.

[tinanator]

23. Kucinich by a mile

thats easy. But, in the bizarro world of what ifs, IF Dean had the nod, I can tell you for a fact Lieberman would be his VP. Any doubters?

[comradebillyboy]

9. dean is the one

but i could live with kerry, gephart, clark, or graham.

[Clark Can WIN]

13. Clark

just has to be, for all our sakes.

[TheDonkey]

14. Clark or Kerry

Dean has a definete shot, but I think as the primary runs on Dean's energized base will be consumed by the moderate fickle democratic voters.

I'd be happy with any 3, I think they all have a good chance of beating Bush.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. interesting results here

let's see more

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. kerry, gephart or lieberman<gag>

[GreenArrow]

17. John "Skull and Bones" Kerry

or Wesley Clark.

[Terwilliger]

18. this poll (as with most others here at DU) is votes of people's wishes

not their practical evaluation of who's going to win

[NewYorkerfromMass]

24. post #22 belies that statement

not everyone here is in a utopian fantasy land.

[bearfartinthewoods]

19. WOW...amazing

this poll proves that half of us have no political sense whatsoever.

[ibegurpard]

27. As someone who is constantly complaining about the level of discourse

why do you find it necessary to insult "half of us" as having no political sense?

[bearfartinthewoods]

28. please show me any post i made that complains about the level of

discourse around here.

and since approx. half voted for Dean and half did not, either way it shakes out, half of us are wrong n'est ce pas?

ON EDIT...if you are referring to my objection to the use of the word bitch i proudlt plead guilty.

[maggrwaggr]

22. after watching the "debate" I'd say Kerry, even tho

I'm a Dean supporter.

He seems the most "presidential", had the best lines/jokes.

That's what sells

[burr]

25. I'm going against my gut instinct...

my gallbladder instinct screams Kucinich!!!

[Frances]

26. I think it will be Dean

because he has the fire in his belly.

But I will support anyone but Bush.
