Maybe we should ask that Hillary AND Obama give it up

[brentspeak]

Then someone who can actually beat McCain - like John Edwards - can get in there.

(No, I don't think much of Obama's chances anyomore.)

[NYCGirl]

1. John Edwards couldn't beat either of them, though.

:eyes:

[brentspeak]

3. Edwards did beat Clinton in Iowa

And lost to Obama due mainly to starry-eyed Obama fans in the pre-Rev. Wright/Rezko/dumb Pa. remarks days.

4. How about that guy in your avatar?

Just sayin'...

[NYCGirl]

7. My avatar is presented as a joke, FWIW.

Edited to add: I'm an Obama supporter. Mr. Clooney is not running for anything.

[undeterred]

11. He's already been Best Looking Man of the Year

or whatever that award is. But there should be a Best Looking Man with Best Politics award too.

[NYCGirl]

12. He has great politics, but like many actors what he really wants to do is direct.

:hi:

[undeterred]

19. Well its always good to have more than one skill.

I would rather have him on the end of the camera where we can see him :hi:

[SharonRB]

25. I didn't mean Clooney

I meant Gore. Your avatar, not your sig line!

[smalll]

2. I still like Hillary,

but the idea of Al Gore on the second ballot at the convention is tempting.

[SharonRB]

5. I still like Obama, but

I'll second the rest of your post.

[tridim]

6. The sky is NOT falling

Would you fucking knock it off please.

[MNDemNY]

8. Not "falling" it has fell.

[tridim]

14. If you believe that, then why do you even bother posting on DU?

BTW, the election hasn't even started yet.

[MNDemNY]

17. Also, we , as yet, have NO nominee,

[tridim]

22. That's technically true, but Obama is the mathematical and presumtive nominee.

And I'll ask again, why do you post on DU if you think we've already lost?

What's your point?

[MNDemNY]

23. But for the sake of a Democratic POTUS, we need to look elsewhere.

[tridim]

24. No WE don't.

Maybe YOU do, but that's why I'm asking you these questions.

The fact that you aren't answering speaks volumes about who you really are.

[MNDemNY]

26. You mean ...........an Al Gore supporter?

Obama will lose to McCreep, Clinton will lose to McAss. Dems will be "screwn".

[tridim]

27. So the GE polls are all wrong then?

[MNDemNY]

29. At this time? I'd say useless, more than "wrong".

[tridim]

33. What metric are you basing your argurment on then?

Your gut?

Colbert would be proud.

[undeterred]

9. Edwards had his chance.

I wish he had done better, but he's out.

[balantz]

10. Great idea! n/t

[bowens43]

13. Huh?

John Edwards couldn't beat Hillary or Obama, how would you expect him to do better then McCain

[brentspeak]

16. Even when Edwards was behind in the Dem primaries and caucuses

he was the one Democrat who was polling ahead of any of the possible GOP nominees.

[rucky]

15. What is it about Wright's speech that was so demoralizing?

[NYCGirl]

18. I think it's a reaction to all the Clintonistas shrieking about it. NT

[brentspeak]

20. No, it's a reaction to our common sense telling us "It's over".

[rucky]

21. and again I ask...what was it about the speech?

the fact he gave one? the fact it was televised? the reactions to it afterward? or was there something in the message that made you think this?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

28. Yep - I agree.

n/t

[DangerDave921]

30. Please let Edwards go

The man had his shot. He failed to win even a single primary. And now -- after losing every primary he ran in -- he should get the nomination? Do you live in Bizrro World?

Do primaries mean nothing?

[Steely_Dan]

31. I'm with you...

Let's bring Joe Biden back...He would kick McCain's ass.

-P

[Phoonzang]

32. I'm sure the voters wouldn't mind

the DNC just replacing the nominee at the convention.....not at all.
