Who would be your fantasy President?
(Living or Dead)
Mine would be a wonderful combination of

Gore--environmental issues
Edwards--poverty issues
Dean--intelligence and wit
Clark--military expertise
Obama--charisma
Carter--diplomacy

Wouldn't it be great if we could take the best of everyone and drop them into one candidate?

As long as we're mixing, let's mix.

Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, Jr.??

37. Nobody's perfect.
BTW, today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Jeanette Rankin was the only person in the House AND the Senate to vote "no" on the War Resolution against Japan on December 8, 2006 when Roosevelt introduced it.

Fair, honest, and cares about people over position. It was a great joy to vote for her in the primary for 2004.

24. Heh-I agree with 50% of your list
Edited on Thu Dec-07-06 12:11 PM by nam78_two
I might get rid of Clark, Obama and Edwards and substitute in Kerry, Feingold, Kucinich :). Kucinich for poverty, Kerry for cracking down on corruption doggedly.

Since, its just personal dream candidates, charisma (whatever that means) would ABSOLUTELY not be a factor for me.

32. MLK Jr./Feingold

This ticket would be dynamite on domestic issues of race, poverty, the environment, and civil liberties, as well as change course immediately in Iraq, and maybe on trade as well. Who knows, though? Sadly, we'll never get to find out.
