What is your "nightmare ticket"

[SlipperySlope]

I've seen plenty of posts of people talking about their dream tickets for 2008. How about the other side of the coin? What is the worst possible "Democratic" ticket imaginable - the one that wakes you up in a cold sweat from your sleep.

I'll start with:

- Zell Miller and running mate Joe Lieberman

(I know, I know, I'm not trying hard enough...)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Clinton/Biden.

::shudder:: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Ron Green]

4. You win. That one could really happen.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[youthere]

21. That would be my nightmare.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[Blue_In_AK]

30. I agree, that is scary. Damn....

[Bombtrack]

50. I fourth that

[sandnsea]

52. Biden/Clinton - worse

With Hillary at the top, at least she has an appeal to women and the AA community, plus some media pull. Biden's got absolutely nothing, makes it a worse ticket than the reverse. It'll never happen, Hillary wouldn't run with Biden. But it is my nightmare ticket of those presumed to be running.

[BluegrassDem]

2. Brownback/Ralph Reed

That'd be really scary.

[MuseRider]

7. Good lord!

That was what I was thinking. Really really scary.

[cadmium]

17. Romney/Rice or Rice/Romney

I worry that they both can morph their public images into whatever the media wants to lap up

[lapfog_1]

3. Clinton / Lieberman - even if we win, we lose.

[Radical Activist]

32. ditto.

Just what I was thinking. The best we might be able to say if that ticket won is "four more years of things not getting any worse."

[lancdem]

5. lol

actually, that's pretty hideous.

[Infinite Hope]

6. Well, you beat me to it. I was going to say Lieberman/Miller. n/t

[ncrainbowgrrl]

8. Biden / William Jefferson (of Louisiana)

:scared:

[BleedingHeartRN]

9. Disclaimer - I did not come up with this....

McCain - Obama

Some jackass on Tweety's show today suggested that one. Even Tweety slammed him for the improbability of that pairing. The commentator must be one of the last media types on earth that still views McCain as "moderate."

[LeftishBrit]

10. If the Constitution were amended to let foreigners run..

then Blair/Arnie (both of them opportunistically changing parties for the purpose!)

[cadmium]

18. Arnold would be scary. I think he has 100 million left in

left over campaign funds.

[karynnj]

24. He's not US born, thus not eligible

[Bushknew]

11. Clinton/Gore, Gore/ Clinton

Above all, we vote for a president with good judgement.

Gore picked Joe Lieberman as his VP.

Clinton voted for war.

[Patsy Stone]

12. Biden/Lieberman

Oy.

[grytpype]

13. Clinton/Kucinich

[snowbear]

35. Yup grytpype.. gotta agree with you on that one!

Pretty damned scary duo to wind up with..

[Virginia Dare]

14. Pat Robertson/James Dobson...n/t

[hwmnbn]

15. Bush-Cheney.....

That's my nightmare!!

[elizm]

51. Only...it wasn't JUST a nightmare...

It actually happened!!!

[BlueIris]

16. Great thread. My "worst nightmare" ticket is Biden/Anyone.

I still can't believe people are talking about nominating Biden. Yeah, I know they're that desperate to not nominate Kerry or Gore, but come on. Biden? For president? I mean, I know I've said I would vote for whatever we put up, including an animate box of hair, but...Biden makes the "box of hair" option seem truly appealing.

[Catchawave]

19. McCain/Guiliani

Sorry, I don't have "nightmares" about Dems :hi:

[brazos121200]

20. Jeb and Karl

[tinfoilinfor2005]

27. I was gonna say Jeb/Condi

but yours is just as scary. :scared:

[brazos121200]

41. Your's would keep me up nights also.

[Hippo_Tron]

22. Lieberman-McCain

[Jack Rabbit]

23. Bush/Cheney

[Bobbie Jo]

25. ...and the nightmare lives on...n/t

[nickshepDEM]

26. ...

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

28. John McCain / Jeb Bush

[rosesaylavee]

29. Jeb Bush/Cheney

Are there term limits on the office of VP? :scared:

[zulchzulu]

31. Bayh/Vilsack

Just the names together look odd...

[southerncrone]

33. Cheney/Rumsfeld

[alfredo]

34. Britney Spears/Joe Biden

[Lydia Leftcoast]

36. Any combination of Biden, Bayh, and Vilsack

:-(

[RoyGBiv]

37. Andrew Johnson/John C Calhoun

Well, you did say one that wakes me up from my sleep. I tend not to dream of actual possibilities, but that one exists in my nightmares.

[AJ9000]

38. Hillary/Obama or vice versa. It will mean 4 more years of a Republican POTUS.

[blitzen]

39. Hannity/Colmes

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

40. Brazile/Morris

But we seem to get that one every year anyway.



:shrug:

[PassingFair]

42. Clinton/Obama - Obama/Clinton

Yellow Dogs will vote for them.

All others will vote Repug or stay home.

Sad but true.

We will LOSE in a landslide.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

43. Roosevelt/JFK

After the DNC, in secret session in 2007, reaches the decision to resort to necromancy and the Dark Arts to increase the pool of candidates.

[election_2004]

44. Clinton/anybody

Because no matter who she'd pick as her V.P., the media would once again have chosen the country's president for us.

[NoPasaran]

45. Kucinich/LaRouche

[noonwitch]

46. Kerry/Biden

A media/GOP whipping boy and a college cheat. If Biden runs, the GOP/FOX is going to constantly hit the "cheater" refrain.

[BlueIris]

48. Holy...I didn't even know that about Biden.

Blech. One more reason to detest the man.

[fuzzyball]

47. Al Sharpton/William Jefferson

[Fire Walk With Me]

49. Anyone not loudly, strongly intending to detach the milindus complex from the Treasury

and from politics and lawmaking. Aside from the Republicans attempting to create a single-party government, this is our greatest problem and the one most likely to snowball into disaster(s).

I just don't see anyone willing to call this problem a problem, as it leads us into greater and greater warlike situations.
