Boxer for President in 2008?
Forget the Clinton clan, I think Boxer could do it! I'm going to tell her so, too.

What do you think?

2. Yes
To those dems who voted NO yesterday, I will do the same for them should they get an idea to run for president.

Bring on Barbara!

15. What a dream ticket that would be.
Multi-nationals all over the world would be going "uh-oh". At least the multi-nationals that pervert our government would be.

Boxer / Kucinich for 2008

Yeah baby.

17. It would be a dream ticket
For the Republicans, that is. I'd bet $1000 that Boxer/Kucinich would lose at least 49 states.

19. Sadly, I have to agree with you.
But they would win 49 states if the media would actually cover what they have to say to America, and if Christians actually heeded Christ's words instead of using their faith as an excuse to kill, rape, and pillage Iraq and the Constitution. Two big ifs, I know! :(

20. Stop this talk.
Kerry tried to act Bush-lite, and it hurt him. Howard Dean is right...we cannot beat the repugs by acting like them. It's time we put someone that WE like and stop worrying about so-called "swing" voters. Do you think the repugs are concerned about being centrist? Of course not!

5. The problem is the same we've had the last two elections
as good as she is, we can't keep running senators. they just aren't winners for president. We need a governor!

6. You May Be Right
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 12:51 PM by iamjoy
It would have to be a governor who has been elected to at least 2 terms, preferably from a red (or swing) state but not a total sell out on progressive issues.

Would also have to be some one between 50 - 60 years old

Any ideas?

14. I don't think Senators are a problem necessarily.
We just need a Senator with guts.

7. Senator
Edited on Fri Jan-07-05 12:53 PM by hilster
Yes though she does have the advantage of being a female senator, and considering she stood up for Democracy I would do as much for her campaign as I could.

I've started his campaign early for maximum exposure.

21. Boxer 2008!
I don't know a lot of her positions, so I'd actually like to learn more about her, but for right now, I love Barbara Boxer!

And I like Kucinich.

Not a likely VP choice, but my Congressman also voted yes, Wm. Lacy Clay...sent him an email thanking him today :D
