Part II: Could you win an election in your home state/province?

[elperromagico]

[JohnKleeb]

1. Nope

[elperromagico]

6. Thanks for your detailed answer, Mr. Coolidge.

But - hmm - maybe you could win in your county, since it's now a Kerry county. :D

[JohnKleeb]

8. I doubt that

and this county is bigger than many states.

[elperromagico]

11. I will endorse you, sir.

I have a lot of pull in that part of Virginia. Not sure why... but fortune tellers never lie... :D

[JohnKleeb]

13. ha but really I have no desire

[China_cat]

15. An old, fat, liberal

ex-carny that's been married 4 times?

No way.

[Wat_Tyler]

2. No. I was given the opportunity to do so two weeks ago as well.

[4_Legs_Good]

3. I'm *way* too liberal, and I wouldn't hide it...

maybe Schoolboard. maybe

[kick-ass-bob]

4. Maybe if I started small...

so I picked option 3...

[flowomo]

5. I ran for county commissioner and got smushed....

there is no way that I could ever get elected to anything in my central PA Republican homeland.... though there are a lot of other liberal dems here, we are vastly outnumbered.

[gospelized]

7. well

i'm a 25 year old lesbian with her septum pierced.

i live in a red state.

you do the math.

[Phillycat]

9. No way, but not because it's not liberal, because it is.

I couldn't win because my past wouldn't let me hold public office. A few too many skeletons in the closet...

[Hello_Kitty]

18. Same here. n/t

[DrZeeLit]

10. Nah, I inhaled in the 60's.

Even though I live in Vermont, I'll probably never be considered a Vermonter. I came from CA and I think that makes me suspect. I feel as though I contribute, educate myself on all the issues, and volunteer.

As Howard Dean says, if you can run, donate money and work in the campaign of someone you trust.

That I can do!

[tsakshaug]

12. nope

haven't lived here long enough (if your grandparents were born here, that might be long enough)
Too liberal

(edit forgot the second o in too)

[aden_nak]

14. Assuming I had the democratic political machine behind me?

Absolutely. Granted, Jersey is a Blue State anyhow, but not by THAT much. And we've had some really crapola Democratic Governors in the past, which people are still rather bitter about. Florio, like him or not, was a taxaholic on a level that even made ME sick to my stomach. But could I win? Yeah, sure. I've seen the Gubernatorial Debates for this state. It's like listening to a pair of 3rd graders explain the science fair projects their parents made.

[MusicTVstar]

17. so true

if lautenburg could win when he joined the last senate race 2 weeks before the election, i could definely win something in NJ ;-)

[FuzzySlippers]

16. I couldn't even win an election in my own house.

And I live alone.

[Jose Diablo]

19. Yes, seeing how there was no Dem candidate for congressman

in my congressional district, I am sure I could have at least won the primary.
