Which is a better ticket, Gore/Clark or Gore/Obama?

[kay1864]

Which ticket is more likely to win?

Note this is not "Which ticket do you like better?"

[StudentsMustUniteNow]

1. Fuck corporate Dems

So you know my answer.

[Tom Joad]

7. Wouldn't do that with a 10 foot pole.

[jefferson_dem]

19. Not to quibble but...

Wasn't one of them on Rupert Mudoch's (he - of NewsCORP) payroll?

[Jai4WKC08]

21. Yep, and thank God for it. n/t

[Bullet1987]

22. What do you call Gore?

LOL!!!

[On the Road]

2. Clark Would be an Amazingly Good President

and add a lot of substance to the ticket. But he did not seem to be an especially good campaigner in 2004.

The mixture of Gore and Clark would be incredibly attractive to a lot of voters. It would not only draw independents, but probably get some Republican crossover as well.

[BOSSHOG]

Clark as Secretary of State for whomever the dem nominee is

Make the announcement right after the convention and just about lock up the election.

3. Obama has a national constituency

by virtue of having been elected to something in his life and having the ability to inspire people with his message. Clark does not. Obama is more electable.

[msongs]

11. nobody was ever inspired by Clark? dude, that is not true. nt

[Radical Activist]

12. Sure, some people were inspired by Clark

and some of them are still promoting him on the net. Nothing compared to what Obama is doing though.

[some guy]

4. Given

that Obama is the only person in this poll who is actually running, I would have to give the advantage to a ticket which had Obama on it. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

6. You have a good point there

It really is a hard choice.

[kay1864]

9. Nonsense

Obviously this poll assumes Gore running. The question is who makes the better running mate.

Obama being elected Senator (or running for President) does not automatically make him a better running mate.

[SharonRB]

5. Very hard to choose, but I voted Gore/Clark

Oh, I just saw that this is who is more likely to win. This was the right vote, then. I do think we'd get more crossover votes with Clark.

[Captain Hilts]

8. The one that has Clark in the top spot. nt

[NOVA_Dem]

10. I picked G/O

I think G/O provides the experience at the top of the ticket w/ the excitement and charisma in the VP slot. Clark has a great military background but I don't remember him being a great campaigner during the '04 election.

[riqster]

13. Obama is making too many rookie mistakes in this race

Plus, he won't add anything to what support Gore will already have. Clark would bring in more center/right votes.

[Bitwit1234]

14. Edwards - Clinton best one going.

[Labors of Hercules]

15. On what planet? nt

[polichick]

16. Neither one would play second fiddle...

It's do or die time for each.

[ClassWarfare2008]

17. Both would be strong tickets.

But Gore/Clark would be practically bulletproof.

[Milo_Bloom]

18. Very difficult!!

I went with Gore/Clark because I would hate to have the added pressure of "breaking a barrier" in this election and have idiot racists vote in blocks to try and block something. Gore/Clark for 8 years... then Clark/Obama for 8 more and then Obama/?? for 8 after that? Sound good?

[draft_mario_cuomo]

20. Clark. Clark has the balls to favor single payer and a 25% cut in the Pentagon budget nt

[Bullet1987]

23. Clark has no following whatsoever outside of DU and other sites

LIKE DU. Obama would be a much smarter choice.

[MrSlayer]

24. Gore/Clark would crush all comers.

Gore/Obama could win I'm sure but Gore/Clark absolutely wins.

[Brundle_Fly]

25. Where's GORE LIEBERMAN??
