If the Democratic Party ends up with a split convention, and cannot

[madinmaryland]

select one of the two front runners, who would you want as an alternate?

Edited to add Wesley Clark.

[Sparkly]

1. Wes Clark!!

But I think it's more likely Clinton and Obama would run on the same ticket.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Another vote for General Clark!!

Maybe he can surround the arena with tanks. A coup if you will.

[Critters2]

23. I don't see either of these egos settling for the VP spot. nt

[gateley]

2. Joe Biden. nt

[gateley]

4. Hey! Who voted for Pelosi?!?

[madinmaryland]

6. Someone from the Lounge voted for Lee Mercer.

[gateley]

29. Well Lee Mercer, yeah. But Pelosi??? nt

[TexasObserver]

5. A year ago, I would have chosen Gore.

A month ago, I was backing Edwards. I'd be great with him being the nominee. Got no use for the others you list as presidential nominees.

[Dawgs]

7. WTF!! Edwards over Gore, are you people nuts?

[madinmaryland]

9. I think Gore is the only one who could truly unite the party at this

point.

[robbedvoter]

8. Third vote for Clark - yet only one shows?

[Sparkly]

10. Ack -- I voted "other" before he was added!!

Count me in though!!

[madinmaryland]

12. I added Clark after the first two replies to the poll.

[robbedvoter]

13. So, can you fix it? or is this one of those "no delegates " thinghie?

[madinmaryland]

14. I can't change the results of the poll.

You could pm sparkly and BOSSHOG to tell them to vote.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I'd Bet Any Amount Of Money, That Even In A Deadlocked Convention, The Nomination Would Not

Go To A Person Who Never Campaigned For It...

The most likely outcome is #1 and #2 would be "forced" by the party to run as a team...

[MonkeyFunk]

20. correct

it would be suicidal to nominate someone who didn't even run.

[no name no slogan]

22. Way too much $$$ has been spent on this race by ALL sides

There's no chance in hell they'd pick somebody who hasn't contested a primary to be the nominee.

I'm still of the opinion that we'll have a nominee by the convention, though. There's still ±20 states to go.

[madinmaryland]

15. kicked

[MrCoffee]

16. (All Three)

[Liberalynn]

17. I'd go Al!

He was always my first choice.

[malta blue]

18. ...

the uniter...

[no name no slogan]

19. Mercer is already president

And he will reveal it to us at the convention (national and international)

[madinmaryland]

21. of (all three)??

[Critters2]

24. If he's not coaching an NFL game undercover (all three) nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Kucinich or Gravel.

[montanto]

26. I like Mercer, but I'm thinking about that

Impaler guy. What's his name again?

[Capn Sunshine]

27. It doesn't work that way. One side ultimately prevails.

You don't pick a new guy out of the woodwork. Too reminescent of the smoke filled rooms.
BAD image wise. Hillary should drop out now, and assist in the healing.

[madinmaryland]

28. I would say it is not likely that would happen, as there is no one else

now that Edwards has dropped out to split off delegates. It is possible that one of the two will be just a few delegates ahead of the other, though still be a few delegates short of clinching the nomination. If it's that close, I don't see one dropping out, possibly leading to a third option.

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. i think obama should in the spirit of unity and change. self sacrifice is a change for politicians

[Proud2BAmurkin]

31. Edwards

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. gore or edwards.

[Meshuga]

33. Gore

That would be a nice surprise to see him being drafted at the convention.

[madinmaryland]

34. Kicked
