Poll question: Election 2008! "OBAMA/RICHARDSON...or ...CLINTON/OBAMA or GORE/OBAMA?
Just thinking about how great Richardson would be as VP for OBAMA...but also thinking about a CLINTON/OBAMA Ticket. But, I might add in another one...just for fun...GORE/OBAMA.

IF ..you only had these THREE CHOICES for the Democratic '08 TICKET....which would you pick? :shrug:

4. Oh...we are back to the Hillary Haters mode....
In most cases, we just hate to lose and we know Hillary would lose in November. We also hate to see Democratic candidates lampooned by a Democratic (allegedly) candidate saying he is worse than McCain....

It is really pathetic when people can support Hillary, the one who is the most negative candidate in several election cycles, actually having the audacity to complain of "Hillary haters". That blows my mind! The Hillary Fantasy Tour has been spewing hate and ill will towards Obama for months now! Heck, one of their Fantasy Side Kicks said the only reason Obama was doing well was he was lucky enough to be born black! Talk about ridiculous!

So put that in your hillary hate pipe and smoke it....

18. Read the post I was responding to...talking about Hillary HATERS....
Really...I did not make this up! There actually are Hillary Fantasy Group members who toss out this Hillary Hater crap, just as they throw the kitchen sink and toilet too at Obama. I know it would seem unbelievable...but it is what it is....

7. I'm not a supporter of either Obama or Clinton...but Gore/Richardson is interesting.
That ticket would bring in a huge amount of voters. Richardson is well respected by many who also like Hillary. He's mainstream and a good diplomat. He would bring in more folks to Dem side than Obama alone would. It's interesting.

I'm for Gore coming in...just because I think he would be the best person for our Dark Times. BUT...for those looking for a break from the past for the future..that Gore/Richardson would be a very savvy and incredible campaign move for Obama. Just saying.....

9. Thanks....it helps to have just ONE Recommend...
to keep it going overnight. I thought some folks here might be interested in this poll...because it's not really controversial enough that folks wouldn't reply if they had deep convictions. It's pretty straight forward and I said where I was coming from. Nothing hidden and nothing that would get anyone in trouble with Mods about folks viewing their reply. :shrug:

10. Obama/Richardson has been my dream ticket since Dec. '06. I just don't think it makes electoral
sense against McCain.


I hope I am wrong.

Is it the subsidies Bush/Cheney shoved to the Ranchers? Mineral Rights grants? What? Aren't any of them seeing an economic downturn? :shrug:

21. At the start of the Primary season, Gore/Obama was the
ticket that I really wanted (plus I still had some inner hopes that DK would catch fire and bring it home for progressives). At this point in time; I would say Obama has earned the top spot, so Obama/Richardson sounds about right, though there are plenty of other good VP choices.

22. Richardson isn't a very good choice as VP.
He's not all that popular, who voted for him in the primary?

I live out West and he's not popular at all here in the Latino community here in Arizona, and was losing a lot of support when I lived in New Mexico last year.
