Clark/Kucinich

[WillyBrandt]

I know this has a snowball's chance in hell, but just to confirm--I am the only one who loves the idea of this ticket? Right?

Clark/Kucinich--the doer and the dreamer (and vice-versa). This combo would make the nation and the planet a much better place.

1. Also

Dennis' hot to Wesley's cool would be a nice complement. After 2000, I'd like to see a veep pick who's more than just a genial boat anchor.

[WillyBrandt]

2. I could just see Wild Dennis

ripping into ol' Dick.

My dream for driving the wingers nuts: Clark President, DK VP, Hillary as press secretary, Howard Dean as head of the DNC.

6. and al franken as director of homeland security!

lol... that office is pretty much a joke anyway.

-LK

[elperromagico]

8. LOL

but Christ, couldn't we change the name? Department of Homeland Security... that sounds so... Teutonic.

[elperromagico]

7. I'd prefer

Al Sharpton as press secretary. Now those would be interesting press conferences!

[WillyBrandt]

9. I've thought this too

Sharpton would beat the hell out of the press corps, and trash the GOP left and right. I just said Hillary because that'd put her face on TV all the time

[charlie]

10. LOL

For the first time ever, White House press briefings would become don't-miss television. People would rush home to watch Brit Hume take a beating. O'Reilly would have puppies when the Al Sharpton Show consistently draws 10 times his audience share.

[LastKnight]

12. hell id tape it every time until...

i can get my hands on a tivo... lol

-LK

[LWolf]

21. Me, too.

If I need to boost my mood for the day, I can just imagine Al at that podium.

[tritsofme]

3. In a few months most of us will never hear Dennis' name again.

[JohnKleeb]

4. Thats not true at all

and even if he is gone by then.

[tritsofme]

11. Yes it is,

I had never heard of him before this, and I'll never hear about him again after this.

[JohnKleeb]

14. I dont know really

I hope not really. Heck I hadnt heard of Dean before this :D. Just bringing him up because I hadnt. Yes I guess but I think what I mean is that he wont fade away.

[Desertrose]

15. That can be said of many...but Dennis will be around longer than

you and many others think...

Now on the otherhand, I never heard of tritsofme before and I'm sure you'll fade a lot faster off the radar than he will....

:shrug:

Peace

16. Well then

You can drastically reduce your exposure to Kucinich and be halfway to Nirvana right now if you avoid threads with his name in them. No click, no see.

[xJlM]

23. You lead a sheltered life, don't you?

Dennis Kucinich was drafted by the people who were inspired by his speech , A Prayer For America. He didn't just decide to run, after spending almost a year away from his elected office (like a certain governor).

I'm certain you won't hear much about him on Fox News or MSGOP, but that doesn't matter to a lot of America. We see Fox News and MSGOP for what they are.

[Mairead]

26. You wish.

[elperromagico]

5. From a purely electoral point of view

Kucinich on the ticket might keep Greens from bolting in November, and he's from Ohio, a state we lost in 2000 by a razor-thin margin. Then again, it might cause more harm than good; Kucinich might turn off Southern voters who would otherwise vote for Clark.

It's an interesting idea, but as you said, it probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

[Fovea]

13. and with Kucinich as Veep

Clark could fly comfortably in the small craft of his choosing.
Because President Kucinich is a freeper's worst possible nightmare scenario.

I can see the papers now "Prez Kucinich declares Emergency-- Nullifies NAFTA, Nationalizes American Oil and Gas Holdings, gives new mandate to EPA, DOE. DeLay weeps in mourning for former President Clark, longs for 'good old days'."

[elperromagico]

17. Reminds me a little of '88

I swear, you could almost hear the whole country praying that Bush 41 wouldn't die, so that we wouldn't have Dan Quayle as President.

Of course, nobody wanted Quayle because he's dumber than a bag of hammers. The right wing wouldn't want Kucinich because he'd work to destroy everything dear to them.

[LastKnight]

18. hammers is giving him too much credit...

i prefer bag of potatoEs

-LK

[MuseRider]

20. I remember a comedian

who did a bit about the earthquake that would be caused by millions of Americans dropping to their knees in prayer at the same time should Quayle ever become president. I was quite funny.

[RandomUser]

19. Good point

And funny too :)

I don't know if it will happen, or if it's wise, but I would favor a Clark/Kucinich ticket.

[maha]

22. Yes, you are

... the only person who loves the idea of that ticket.

[LWolf]

24. Hmm...

I'm still cautious about Clark. He says good things. I haven't decided whether I trust his words or not. Time will tell.

Switch it, and I'm with you. Kucinich/Clark. Idealism and action on top, with the general aboard for those concerned about defense.

25. Clark/Kucinich

Not a bad idea! B-)
