Nobody has the 2008 nomination "sewn up" yet

[Nikki Stone 1]

And anyone who says so has his own agenda.

I still think there may be someone on the back burner.

[oneold1-4u]

1. Hopefully

They will get their buns warmed up enough to move PDQ!

[quaoar]

2. I think Mark Warner

is going to run.

If he doesn't challenge George Allen in 06, you know he's running.

[Nikki Stone 1]

5. Tell me a little bit about him

I have seen his name here and there

[snowbear]

6. I don't know that much about him either...

I hear mixed opinions on here about him.. but I figure.. just like in the last primaries, we're ALWAYS going to have assorted opinions right up until the time we all rally around to support the eventual nominee.. :)

Is Warner seriously considering it? What's he like? :shrug:

[Nikki Stone 1]

7. Thanks for the intro

I'll have to do a serious search.

[Nikki Stone 1]

[FreedomAngel82]

11. Yes he's running

I read an article someone posted in GD where he was seen at Bilderberg meetings.

[Nikki Stone 1]

13. Uh....Bilderburg meetings?

Are we looking at conspiracy theories here?

Sorry, but it sounds very Art Bell to me.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

26. Nothing conspiratorial about the Bilderberg group.

The world's most powerful men and women gather to decide how to cut up the pie that is the world.


Did you think they were working on solving world hunger?

ETA: gender equality

[AuntiBush]

31. World Hunger? What's that, I mean... isn't probably not on this years

agenda... really! Good point.

[me b zola]

21. Do you mean Gov.Warner

Gov.Warner who has joined the throng of rethuglican owned so-called Dems that have blasted Dean for no know reason? That Mark Warner?


~pffft~


I would like a Democratic candidate, if you don't mind

[Jim Lane]

24. Mark Warner information on Demopedia

This is an example of how Demopedia could be a real asset to DU. I took the information about Warner that was in this thread and created a "stub" (an initial short article) about him: http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Mark_Warner

If other people will add little bits as they find them, then our collective knowledge about Warner (his plusses and his minuses) will be saved, and readily accessible, instead of sinking down into the archives as the thread ages.

3. Right on Nikki...

The media need to stuff their pieholes until candidates are actually RUNNING..

media --> :spank: <-- us

[Nikki Stone 1]

4. I like your little graphic

The media can use a little pounding can't they. :)

[election_2004]

9. On the backburner....

Waiting to emerge slowly:

Lincoln/Warner 2008

[Nikki Stone 1]

12. A "New Democrat" from Arkansas

Very familiar....

[election_2004]

14. Maybe that's how it appears....

But Blanche is VERY different from the Clintons...her personal style is more wholesome and less smarmy; and she's slightly to the left of Bill Clinton ideologically.

And as a presidential candidate, her policies wouldn't be that different from Evan Bayh's, Hillary Clinton's, or Mark Warner's. She would, however, energize and gain support from a lot of the women who have visceral disdain for Hillary.

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. Well, I was just thinking of what Limbaugh would do with her background

However, that should not be the reason to choose or not choose a candidate.

I am looking forward to seeing all the different candidates and what they have to offer.

[snowbear]

16. I hope they hurry up and nail butt-boil Limbaugh...

Sounds like his case is still alive and well.. :smoke:

[Nikki Stone 1]

17. How is his case going, anyway?

Haven't heard much lately.

[election_2004]

19. Do you mean what Rush would say about Blanche....?

He would lob the typical trademark Limbaugh "just another big liberal Democrat" accusations at Senator Lincoln. He would gripe about how "we can't elect another Democrat from Arkansas." He would tear apart any of her Senate votes that he finds "too liberal." He would try to connect her to the Clintons (probably citing how Blanche and her husband Steve were guests at the White House during the Clinton years). Of course, Blanche's ties to Bill & Hillary are really quite minimal.

I doubt any of it would stick. Especially if things in this county continue to go as badly as they have been.

Blanche's winning personality would make Rush look like a complete babbling idiot. Only his fellow Dittoheads would buy into the fabrications.

But I am looking forward to seeing what the entire Democratic field looks like, and I really hope Blanche will decide to get into the race.

20. You got it all in!

That was exactly what I was thinking. It is probably best not to borrow trouble, but you do know that that is exactly where Limbaugh will go.

[election_2004]

23. Oh, and also....

He'll call her a "Castro-lover" because of her position on opening trade with Cuba.

[ClarkUSA]

25. Blanche Lincoln unapologetically voted for Bush's Medicare Bill

Even when she was confronted with BushCo's usual criminal malfeisance regarding lying about how much it would cost to Congress after it was uncovered that a top accounting official was threatened with being fired if he didn't keep quiet about the real costs of Bush's plan (which turned out to be almost DOUBLE that quoted), Blanche Lincoln said she still would have voted for it.

[election_2004]

28. Do you have a quotation on this?

Documentation?

[Nikki Stone 1]

18. Thanks to whoever nominated the thread

Appreciate it!

[jsw_81]

22. This is true

A million things can happen between now and 2008. Remember all the surprises (e.g., Dean's dramatic collapse in Iowa) last time around? Nobody and I mean NOBODY knows the identity of our next nominee.

[kentuck]

27. Hillary...

No need to discuss any further....move on..

30. At this point, I 'm thinking Seriously of getting my "DOG & & CAT" to run!

I mean, he should be a real "shoe-in" if I run him as a Repuk-Dino type, ya know... Since the other side seems to buy just about anything.

My cat could be like the Vice-Cat in Charge.

If you can't trust my pets you might as well throw the towel in.

:) My boring Saturday afternoon fun :rant:

[sellitman]

32. You are wrong...it is "sewn up" right now as we speak....

By the phoney voting machines. If they aren't fixed it don't matter who you like on our side...we will lose.

Simple as that!
