of this list who would you favor for VP

[WI_DEM]

of the following list who would be your top choice for VP?

[montanacowboy]

1. None of the above

more DINOs, no thanks

[LandOLincoln]

2. Any one of the above would be the kiss of death, IMO. n/t

[Adelante]

3. I can't find a pick on this list nt

[flaminlib]

4. Richardson, NM

I would bet on it, if i was the betting sort.

[LandOLincoln]

18. And I'd take that bet--if you were the betting sort.

No way it's Richardson. None.

[mzmolly]

21. Why not?

???

[LandOLincoln]

28. Well, first and foremost, he's only halfway through his first

term as governor, and has repeatedly promised us that he will serve out his full term. He's actually used the P word, and I think there's zero chance that he'll break that promise.

[acmavm]

5. None of the above, thank you.

.

[searchingforlight]

6. Where did you come up with this list?

I would never have mentioned one of these people as an option. I can't imagine that any of them would help Kerry in the least.

[WI_DEM]

9. why this list

these are people who have been mentioned on this board or elsewhere. I don't necessarily support any of them--but I don't count any of them off as possibilities to be on Kerry's ticket (except Lieberman). I think we all will be surprised by who he picks. He has already indicated that he is moving to the middle to win--so I don't expect a strong liberal to be his running mate. I really don't think he will pick any of his opponents for the nomination--including Clark or Edwards.

[demnan]

7. Warner of VA

I think he is an up and comer in the Democratic Party. The guy is a centrist, he's honest and he's doing his best to deal with the fiscal mess that is Virginia today.

He also has a really cool wife who will be a major asset anywhere she goes.

[gWbush is Mabus]

8. DURBIN!

[atre]

10. None of the above

nm

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. None of the above

Definitely Losing Combinations, all

[patricia92243]

12. Hillary

20. pshaw /nt

[ButterflyBlood]

31. please tell me you're kidding

n/t

[amazona]

13. breaux would be a winner in my humble view

I don't know if he's interested because he's talking retirement but Breaux would be my pick from that list. Right now we have a lop-sided situation where the oil industry has a strong favorite, bring in Breaux, and they don't have to fight so hard for the dark side, they'll be satisfied their interests are going to be considered whoever wins. Breaux is well-known for being a moderate who can work well with everyone, and this could calm a lot of hysteria about Kerry being too far to the left. Not that I see Kerry as particularly extreme but the media at times has tried to practically paint him another McGovern. It would be hard to describe Breaux as some wild-eyed leftist, although I suppose they will try.

[Hippo_Tron]

48. Just keep Breaux away from any highly controversial issues...

And he'd be fine. Again, he's a good democrat but has a fairly conservative voting record. Kerry could put Breaux on complicated fiscal issues that won't get much attention and tell him not to make any speeches regarding social issues.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

14. LOL

that's some list -- the only ones that don't make me cringe are the ones I don't know much about...

[Auntie Bush]

15. CLARK is the only one for me. n/t

[Cuban_Liberal]

17. I hope that doesn't mean you won't vote for Kerry, if Clark isn't picked.

:shrug:

[BurtWorm]

16. What the

fuck? :wtf:

[leyton]

19. Edwards or Clark?

How about them? Certainly they have more of a chance than Biden or Reid.

I don't know who I'd like - I like Edwards but the situation in several months may require somebody else. I'll be learning about Vilsack and Breaux. Edwards is my favorite for now, though.

[ImperialistLackey]

44. Edwards is the favorite for VP

Edwards has the broadest support and qualifications of any possible VP choice

[salonghorn70]

22. Great List!!!

I voted for Warner. I've been saying for some time that I think that Warner ight be the surprise choice. He would be great in the South and would really help the Demo Senate candidates in the South. I also think that he could force Bush to spend some time and money in the South. It would be interesting to see a poll on whether Warner might make Virginia a playable state.

[PSU84]

23. Crummy list

Where's Bill Richardson? John Edwards? Mary Landrieu? Wes Clark? Dick Gephardt? Bob Graham? Bill Nelson?

[marigold20]

24. Max Baucus???

Yikes let's hope he stays at 0 votes in this poll. He wouldn't help the ticket at all even if he could score Montana's three electoral votes which I doubt! Montana's gone pretty far to the right recently.

[Piperay]

25. Wesley Clark...

I don't know why he is always left off these lists. :argh:

[elperromagico]

27. This is a list of the less prominent VP possibilities.

Edwards isn't there either, you'll notice.

[MrSlayer]

26. Wesley K. Clark

[mndemocrat_29]

29. I went with Mark Warner

My fave out of this list, though I still am rooting Mary Landrieu. I don't know where I read this, but a poster mentioned that she effectively moved the ticket both to the left and to the middle, and I agree. She would be an awesome campaigner, an awesome campaigner.

[JI7]

30. Mark Warner, John Breaux, and Evan Bayh

mark warner first. and breaux and bayh next.

[Tinoire]

32. Colin Powell

Because he "speaks so well".

Or maybe John McCain. Hell that could do it!

Naww... Why stop there? Let's just skip past the Republican-lites and go straight Republican. Bush/Cheney and then we won't have to worry about out-doing them- we'll BE them!

Don't Dream It- Be It! ;)

[ngGale]

33. Also, none of the above...

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. None of the above.

Wes Clark is who I favor. :loveya:

[beyurslf]

35. Governor Sebelius.

[kodi]

36. christ, what a menu. nothing but scrapple or spam

.

[Padraig18]

37. Breaux, or Warner.

There are others on the list who I like more (Harry Reid & Janet Napolitano), but out of that list, Warner and Breaux would likely be more help to the ticket, electorally-speaking.

[LeftofU]

41. Only problem with Breaux is......

It'll be like having Johnson over your shoulder. He can be corrupted just as easily.

[Hippo_Tron]

47. Breaux won't really corrupt Kerry...

He's not a DINO, just a centrist democrat. Chances are that if Breaux is VP he'll just play an insignificant role in major political issues and Kerry will make usage of him for things like senior citizens' affairs.

[Enough is Enough]

38. None of the above

I would still like Kerry to choose Edwards.

[genius]

39. None of the above And if Kerry selects one of the above,

I might sit this election out. I'm tired of seeing Democratic officials working hard to please the Republicans and stick it to the Democrats.

[JohnKleeb]

40. really none of these

I am all for Edwards, some one midwestern or southern, I wouldnt mind Senator Durbin of Illinois.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

42. Edwards.

[ImperialistLackey]

43. Senator Edwards Only VP to win in 2004

None on the Poll list come anywhere close to Edwards to win the 2004 election

[in_cog_ni_to]

46. We need a VP who has

foreign policy experience. Edwards has none. He won't be VP. A pretty face and "lovely" hair won't get us out of Iraq.

[Hippo_Tron]

45. None of the above, Tom Daschle of South Dakota

He's a great leader in the senate and always stands up for Democratic ideals. And he'll definately deliver South Dakota which is 10% more Republican than Democratic.

:eyes:
