Our Presidential Candidate in 08 should be a victim of the ** Admin.
Someone who was slandered, smeared, etc. by the Bush Cabal.

It'll be a guarantee that Justice will be served.

I'm starting to think we should have a "Draft Joe (Wilson)" campaign.

Or should we pick someone else?

1. Well if we are looking for someone who has been slandard
and smeared by the Bush Cabal, I guess Kerry would fit that bill.

I don't think we should run Wilson.

13. Nothing that has been said about Hillary has actually damaged
her extensively or cost her any real pain. She writes books that she gets paid millions to write, she get free press, and she is a household name.

21. Not a chance in hell she would win... so no.
She wouldn't pick up one red state.

Bush's numbers may be low, but that doesn't mean she inspires any confidence in the more rural states.

Besides, the Bush Cabal has slandered EVERY Democrat, so that could be anybody.

4. Our candidate in '08 should be electable
With a clear and concise message. If the Dems fuck up 2008, I'm out of the party for good.

11. Although I am not
a take-my-ball-and-go-home Democrat, I agree that with you on what we need.

15. Stakes are too high
The Dems have been screwing around way too much, count on them to blow the opportunity with the Plame thing, if it materializes.

5. I suggested the other day: a Clark/Wilson ticket
Betweent the two of them, perhaps we could get out of this total mess in the mid-East.

7. Wilson is ok, but Kerry took more abuse than him. When Bush
& co. smeared Kerry it not only hurt him it put this country and us at risk also. I say John Kerry.

9. No Hillary
If not, I'm out, and I'll tell anybody who listens that Dems don't care about their constituents.

I makes me sick the way Hillary Clinton is abused on these boards.

16. The Democrats are finished if she runs
She's too divisive, people get too emotional, plus she seems to be telling people what they want to hear in her run to the center.

22. I don't abuse her.
I just know she can't pick up any states Kerry didn't. Pretty simple. I want to win.

Let's pick a liberal perceived as a moderate. Not a moderate perceived (in the reddish/purple states) as a liberal. Come on!

25. word, clark2008
totally agree with you, i've been saying this for a while. i like hillary too, but she can't win. not only won't she win any states that were red in 2004, there's an outside chance she'd lose a previously blue state or two.

even if hillary weren't as divisive as she is, i would still say she shouldn't get the nomination - and neither should kerry, or biden, or boxer, or any number of other names i've seen thrown around. why? because they're all senators.

10. Al Gore
was the first to be wronged by this administration.

18. Agreed. Al Gore is the original victim.
Personally, I hope he runs.

19. I totally agree
Al Gore was my first thought too. He was constantly slandered and misrepresented by *, Rove, and their minions during his 2000 presidential campaign. And he was the first of millions to lose his job thanks to the * economy. He would be a great candidate, IMHO.

12. Everyone who does not march lock step with
this Administration has been a victim of it--including some REpublicans. We need to run someone in '08 who can win. Just picking someone because they are a victim is not smart if otherwise they can't get elected.

23. Lemmie see... that narrows it down to 6 billion people.
Of course, to be eligible, you have to have been born in the USA, so now we've only got 300-some-odd-million to choose from.

I think we'll be able to find someone.

26. "Victim" would be negative, not upbeat, looks like revenge-seeker
Not a good strategy. Bzzzzzt ... Try again.
