1. Experience doesn't mean anything. |
|
Means nada to the current voting public.
I'm saying excellent campaigner, because I'm reasonably sure that whomever we nominate is going to be better than whomever the Republicans are running.
I'd rather split hairs with a Democrat than deal with more of the GOP agenda.

Liberals are by nature "moderate" by the way.

4. I cannot stand another moderate. |
|
If I'm not passionate about my candidate, how can I expect the rest of the country to be?

5. None of those are the MOST important.. |
|
The next Democrat needs to have all of those qualities..
He needs to be liberal enough for the liberals, moderate enough for the non-liberals, in touch with the South, in touch with the country's faith, his campaign must be able to swat away smears all while keeping the high road in honesty, and experience can only help.
All of these factors combined will equate to electability, and that will only begin to move the country back from the right.

6. a bad-ass son of a bitch who won't take no shit. |
|
i want a person who would walk across a stage and smack an opponent in the mouth for lying about him/her
this nicey nice shit from the dems the last 4 years is useless against opponents with the ethical and moral integrity of the Borg.
still i can't believe kerry did not challenge the swift boat assholes to a duel the first day this crap broke in july. at the least, a libel suit and an in your face challenge back at them.

7. Will our candidate.... |
|
be able to walk and chew gum at the same time? The candidate should have all of the above and even more:
Qualities required to snatch the game from the Repugs:
Charisma Intelligence articulator of the truth Southern and perceived as moderate (even if he is not) No voting record A man's man - one you'd want to have a beer with Pro-guns without being NRA poster boy A true public servant Humble roots values orientated wartime hero....with no skeletons attractive to Republicans a positive reputation in with the world community- National Security creds up the yang-yang A uniter....not a divider - A perceived Non partisan One who understands Media Bias and crooked Voting machines One who speaks the language of the Nascar Dads....and the Security Moms...and the values language. one Republicans leadership is afraid of Great at fundraising Not meek or mild....no nice guys need apply...unless he is talking real nasty....even if there is a smile on his face.
If they run Jeb Bush/McCain....we will need a strong ticket.
Wes Clark is the Warrior we will need....cause the 2008 election will be a real war!
Clark/Obama Clark/Warner Clark/Clinton Clark/Richardson Clark/Baye
Clark with anyone is strong....no matter what.
