If you could pick the president, right here, right now... how would it be? |
|
You get to choose. ANYONE!
How about a candidate and someone who is not running.

He would probably have been our president in 2004. He was so wonderful. :(

If you get a chance, go see him speak.

OK, so he is a fictional mass murdering megalomaniac... But he's still better than Bush.
Plus he has a snazy wardrobe and his own theme song.

A requirement would be that the other Democratic candidates are highly placed in the administration, if they are willing.

27. That's a very good question. And I don't know the answer. |
|
I've gotta admit that I don't know enough about some of the Democrats that would be good. I agree with alot of what I hear from Feingold, but I really don't know where he stands on many, many issues. Same with virtually every other non-candidate this year.
Frankly, I think Kucinich's views most closely match mine, but he just doesn't impress me as Presidential/Executive material. Maybe it's unfair, but he doesn't have the charismatic, forceful presence of a leader.
Dean I obviously like, but is he my 'ideal' candidate? No, I disagree with him on many issues. I want to go further and faster on national health care, I believe in gun control, I think NAFTA/free trade really needs a good redo, etc.
It would be interesting to have a website President selector match that included every Democrat, not just the announced candidates.

25. My brother-in-law, and my hubby as VP |
|
I swear, you get in a room with those two, and it's hard to keep up. They know more about this system than some of the candidates running for the spot. They're liberal, knowledgable, compassionate, intelligent, and creative.
Of course, I'd want my hubby (the younger of the two) as VP, so he could run for PREZ in 2012. More time in the big house, you see.
(Did I mention my birthday is coming up in like, 10 days, and I'm gunning for a really, REALLY nice present?)

...how hard they would work to undo the damage done by the neocons can be measured by how badly they have both been smeared in the press.
