How About a Gore/Kerry Ticket in 2008

[rsmith6621]

What do you think.....

[spindrifter]

1. Which takes top billing and why?

[rsmith6621]

3. Gore on Top of the ticket.

[Kahuna]

2. Gore, yes. Kerry, no.

That's just my honest opinion.

[Fridays Child]

14. If Al Gore and Howard Dean ran, I'd work my heart out to get them elected.

[John Q. Citizen]

4. Funny, I was thinking about the same thing earlier tonight. And

then I started thinking about what the second poster asked, who takes top billing and why?

[ladjf]

5. I've been rather negative about Kerry. However, he's kicking in

pretty well lately, especially his agreement with the Gore MLK day speech and his backing of the Alito filibuster. I could be enthusiastic about a Gore/Kerry ticket. Also, there are a few other strong Democrats that would make good candidates. Not a lot, but we don't need but two. If the wimp wing of the Democratic Party doesn't screw us up, we should pick up a lot of seats in 2006.

6. I doubt Kerry

would take the 2nd position. I like Gore/Feingold...but maybe he didn't do to well with a Jewish Veep last time. Although we do know he won that election.

[Jackpine Radical]

11. I don't think either Gore or Kerry would take #2.

I do think Feingold oughtta be on the ticket, though.

[NYCGirl]

22. There's a LOT of difference

between Feingold and Lieberman. A LOT of difference!

[Dhampir Kampf]

7. I'm not against it...

..But, we need to win an election.

Gore already won the 2000 election, but of course didn't get in.

However, Kerry, (though yes there was extensive controversy), seemed to have lost definitely in the popular vote.

I'm shaky that we'd get the same results.

Gore: I'm all for.

Kerry: I have my reserves.

Granted, I respect Kerry, it's just, we need to win.

P.S.

I love the Edwards/Warren mix.. Or Vis versa.

[MadJohnShaft]

8. Gore/Kerry or Gore/Hillary - it's all good

I really am in love with that Gore speech. He's got gutsy and I think he could keep that up. A Gore/Kerry ticket is a great 'what could have been' package - and Hillary to throw a bone to that direction. I can't wait for 08.

[Dhampir Kampf]

10. Again-

I like Hillary, but to be honest, there just isn't a way that we can win, with Hillary's name on a voting ticket.

We need to win, it's that simple.

[GemMom]

29. Why is it ....

that Dick Morris keeps saying Hillary is going to get the nomination? He detests Hillary, but yet he keeps saying she's it for 2008?! Why?

[GemMom]

28. Gore/Hillary

would never happen. They didn't get along during the Clinton WH years.

[blm]

9. Let them both work on exposing the machine fraud first - or no Dem wins

anyway.

[SeaBob]

12. Gore/ kerry

works for me

[pstans]

13. Gore/Feingold all the way!

or Gore/Obama

[OzarkDem]

15. Ok by me

but it seems unlikely Gore will run, right?

[cyberpj]

16. Wes Clark is THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROPER CRED for this one. nt

Stop pushing reruns and put up the plain-speaking well-respected MILITARY MAN!

You want the disgruntled Repub votes or do you want to keep alienating possible crossovers?

[seabeyond]

17. i would rather have kerry, i doubt gore want vp a second time n/t

[johncoby2]

18. Gore/Clark

[Selatius]

20. That's a good combination n/t

[Auntie Bush]

26. Yes, but Clark/Gore is even better.

Gore has more experience being VP. lol
Clark is easier on the eyes and ears. lol
Military matters are going to be important and Clark's the man for that job. Seriously!

[ThomWV]

36. Hell Yes!

Competent + competent.

[radio4progressives]

19. it would be justice for us, but neither one of them would go for it...

[JDPriestly]

21. We're luckky to have so many good candidates.

The Republicans don't have very many good candidates.

[LeftyLizzie]

23. Yes on Kerry, no on Gore

I'm not sure why, I just think Kerry is more politically viable. Having said that, however, I like both of them and I think they would both be great presidents.

[Burning Water]

24. Not Gore, Not Kerry,

Not Hillary.

Almost anybody else. I'm leaning Clark, but haven't made up my mind.

[Mme. Defarge]

25. Gore/Conyers

[FrenchieCat]

27. I prefer Wes Clark and whomever he chooses as a running mate....

Preferably someone like Lauretta Sanchez (a strong, young, and smart Latina woman known for kicking Republican incumbents out of office in GOP strongholds).


The GOP OSAMA/TERRA ALERT/IRAN/SYRIA/PANDEMIC/ETC...trump card will be used over and over until there is not democracy or a constitution left in these United States. And, of course, the Corporate media will play (see last week for a preview).

and then What? :shrug:

Gore should have ran in 2004, that's what he should have done. He should not have allowed those who said it was Kerry's turn to get away with that. If he needed to fight for what was right, barring the 2000 debacle, that was the time. Now it will be said that he once again re-invented himself and must have been scared of Georgie....and so he waited till the "coast was clear".

I totally know that Gore won it in 2000, but it was way too close. His strategy to mount a tactical effective fight against the right wing "all the votes have been counted" mantra was slow, dull, awkward, and came to a head much too late. A great economy and relative peace on earth couldn't do it for him then......so why would 2008 be so much better for him? Cause folks will say, OK....now let's give him a chance, since we saw how Bush fucked things up? I just don't think that it work that way in politics. The RW and their media trumpets will blame him for OSAMA doing 9/11 (as they did Clinton), and will cite the rational that Bush was in office only a mere 9 months, and that Clinton/Gore allowed it all to fester, etc., etc.....you know their drill. And please, don't think they won't. And don't think that the Corporate media won't jump on that one and more.

Kerry is a Senator, so of course he will continue to do good things. However, I do not realistically think that he would do any better against another "fresh" Republican than he did against the "worse President ever". Kerry may have won it, but hell, it was way too close!

[phylny]

30. Gore/Warner

This give us experience for the first 8 terms (Gore), and then an experienced Vice President for the next 8 terms (Warner).

A girl can dream, can't she? Imagine 16 years of peace, prosperity, honesty, and integrity. Boggles the mine in a wonderful way.

[Apollo11]

31. It's gotta be Gore!

I say we let Al pick his own running mate.

He will choose someone who has spoken out against the Bush Administration on the big issues like Iraq.

He might choose a woman and/or minority running mate.

But first he has to enter the race and win the nomination.

Ask me again in 2008!

[Uncle Joe]

32. I will be happy with Gore/ insert name. n/t

[Xenotime]

33. Talk about REVENGE!

Those two would need to work together to repair the horrible destruction of this country. They are the only ones who could repair the economy, put a stop to the war and put the criminals of this administration on trial

[MadJohnShaft]

34. Gore/Obama would be a fine populist ticket!

Who's going to mess with Obama? He's America's favorite senator

[gizmo1979]

35. What is it about Gore

that I just don't like.Ilike him as a person but I don't have much faith in him as a candidate.I think you go with your star,Obama he's the best we've got.Send him to the plate and start swinging.

[ThomWV]

37. Obama Would Get Eaten Alive

Here is a politicl child compared to Gore. Anyone who could make it though the 2000 election debacle, as Al Gore did, has taken all the lumps politics has to offer and has paid his or her dues. Obama hasn't come anywhere near that level yet.

[gizmo1979]

38. Obama wouldn't get eaten by

anyone.Bush never paid any dues he was the most charismatic person they had.Obama is the one guy with all the intangibles.If you keep him in the senate too long he gets the reputation for flip flopping and all kinds of other baggage that goes along with it.Put him in now coach.

[Uncle Joe]

39. I do not agree with Bush being the most charismatic,

I believe he was the most corruptible, malleable and ignorant, the MSM was successful in pumping him up, they covered for all of his multitude of mistakes and lies. If the MSM decides to convince the nation that deputy Barney Fife is a great leader, and all the public hears are positive stories of his courage and wisdom over a long enough period of time, a certain percentage of the population will fall for it.

[gizmo1979]

40. He was there

star.I don't agree with anything about him or his idea's.I'm saying he was a novice who won.Obama is our star he is the guy everyone wants at their fundraiser.All the colleges want him to speak.He's our best chance for victory in 08.

[Uncle Joe]

44. I believe you do not agree with Bush's ideas. I was trying to convey

the fact that because Bush was a novice is not why he is in the White House. He is in power because the MSM enabled him to power, solely for the reason of their own agenda. Who ever the Democratic Party nominates will be trashed by the MSM and the Republican nominee will be enabled.

In my opinion Al Gore is best suited to withstand these lies and falsehoods because he has been through the crucible. At this point the MSM's reputation is in the gutter along with Bush's, the truth is coming out in fits and starts, in spite of them. Al Gore has been correct regarding Global Warming, Iraq, Social Security, Bush's power grab and the resultant threat to our own democracy, etc.

In conclusion, the fact that the American People have already elected Al Gore gives him a unique moral authority to be reelected.

[frustrated_lefty]

41. Gore is serving the US better

speaking as a statesman, outside of the fray.

Kerry....no comment.

[ruggerson]

42. No/No '08

[Pryderi]

43. Schweitzer/Hackett?

46. yes/yes '08

[Darkhawk32]

45. I say FUCK YEAH!! Let's have 16 years of Dem Presidents!! n/t

[Rocknrule]

47. Why not? They've each won a presidential election already
