Your Wish List:: Who would you love to see run for Prez?

[Armstead]

Who would you like to see run for President who is not a candidate? Who could you support enthusiastically and positively?

Okay, perhaps it's just idle speculation. But it could also be a constructive exercise in terms of figuring out what people want in a candidate, both personally and in terms of their positions.

Another cavaet. I realize Gore is high on many wish lists. But in addition to him, who else do you believe would make a great candidate and president who is not in the current field?

My list would include Dr. Howard Dean, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Jan Schiakovsky (hope I didn't mangle the spelling), Teddy the K, Sen. Barbara Boxer, Sen. Webb (he is a populist in addition to his Iraq positions), Sen Byron Dorgan, among others.

Anyone else care to toss in their wish list?

1. Gore and Feingold.

[Armstead]

2. Ooops. I forgot Finegold.

I'd also add Sen. Harkin, a good old prarie liberal populist, to the list.

[Clintonista2]

3. Dean, Gore, Leahy

[Auntie Bush]

4. General Wesley Clark!

[Trisket-Bisket]

The best man for the job.

7. Clark, Gore and Feingold......

I even miss Mark Warner not having gotten in! :(

[flvegan]

8. RFK, Jr

I'd pay big to see that.

Actually, I'd love to see a Kucinich/RFK, Jr ticket.

[kansasblue]

9. Feingold. and Hagel for the Republican to shake things up.

[Gregorian]

10. Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman.

Kurt Vonnegut, if he were still alive. (Although, in his current state he'd be worlds better than the present Retard. )

* My apologies to good retards everywhere.

:hi:

[southerncrone]

14. Feingold.

[_dynamicdems]

16. John Kerry, but he's already ruled out running. My next choice would be Al Gore.

Or Barbara Boxer. :)

Or Dick Durbin. :)

[illinoisprogressive]

17. he already is

[burrowowl]

18. Dennis Kucinich and RFK Jr.

[Kurovski]

19. Howard Dean.

The spelling is Jan "Schakowsky". Just so youse know. :-)

[Armstead]

23. That spelling always gets me...But she's great

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Gore, Feingold, Boxer

in no particular order

[TwilightGardener]

21. If Obama wasn't running: Feingold--probably most principled

in the Senate. Jim Webb--closer to my conservative-Dem ideals. For the R's, Hagel, just in case our candidate stumbles or gets run over by a Zamboni.

[PatSeg]

22. Barbara Boxer

Smart, gutsy, honest, and she stood up for the voters in Ohio in 04! She's not afraid to take a stand.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Russ Feingold. nt

[Adelante]

25. Clark, Kerry, Gore

And I would like to raise Paul Wellstone from the dead.
