Let's revisit that discussion.

Right now? Hillary/Lieberman. Runner up: Obama/Romney. (shudder)

Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 12:17 PM by truedelphi
Even Hillary / Obama would be bad

(I would get so tired of having to say that I wanted another ticket and then having to say:
a) I AM a feminist
b) I am Not a racist)

The more I see of Dodd the more I like him. At this point, and it is such a long shot the odds would be loved in Vegas, I'd love to see Dodd/Edwards or Edwards/Dodd

8. Nightmare ticket? Any Democratic slate that doesn't win in 2008 . . .
there'd be nothing worse than the continuation of our present nightmare with "a new boss, same as the old boss". . .

11. Hillary/Lieberman would the absolute worst nightmare, in terms of the Iraq war
It would mean we'd never leave, and would attack Iran, if Bush hasn't done it already.

but keep in mind, if Clinton wins with a differenct VP, she could still appoint lieberman to defense secretary.

The continued survival of the Biden campaign is getting surreal to me, as I see him as one step above a box of hair. SIT DOWN, you CHEAP HACK.

Jeb Bush/Cheney would be the nightmare opponents (Easy win for the dems though) but I don't think their that stupid to run that ticket.
