WHO SHOULD AL GORE'S RUNNING MATE BE?

[lame54]

I say either Kucinich or Olbermann

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0Nnph3zkHNw

Edwards is also a good choice

[muntrv]

1. Bill Richardson, Wesley Clark.

[Myrina]

2. Russ Feingold

:patriot: :applause: :loveya:

[Cleita]

3. I'd say Olbermann because he isn't running either.n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. anybody but Joe?

[ThomWV]

5. Barbara Boxer

She would appease the corporate end of the Democratic Party and possibly be appealing to more women voters.

[radiclib]

16. She's a corporatist?

Damn, that's disappointing. Can you elaborate?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

6. Edwards or Clark nt

[Mojambo]

7. Bobby Kennedy Jr, Russ Feingold, maybe General Clark.

All seems moot. I don't see him getting in at this point.

[Inspired]

8. I'll play along just for fun.

Al Gore's running mate should be John Edwards. He can then correct the mistake that I believe caused the 2000 election to be decided in Bush's favor.

Edwards was one of his top choices then but he chose Lieberman to counteract the Clinton scandals. If he would have gone with his instincts...and chosen Edwards...our country would be on a much different path right now.

This is what happens when you let too much political calculation play into what you know in your heart is right.

[sam sarrha]

14. john edwards

[RiverStone]

22. Clark, Edwards, Dodd, Obama

In that order...

Of course, I've let go of my Gore for Pres in 08 dream - but just in case :)

* Kucinich would be number 1 - but if I'm to play it for real, DK does not have the name recognition to be picked for a national ticket, which is sad for the country.

9. The running mate of

Senator Hillary Clinton is going to be either John Edwards or Governor Bill Richardson....Edwards or Richardson will be her Veep.

The ticket will be either:

Clinton/Edwards or Clinton/Richardson.

If it's Veep Edwards, then Bill Richardson will be Hillary's Secretary of State.

Remember, you heard it here first! :)

[PollThis]

15. Wrong her VP will be Evan Bayh. You rember. nt

[...of J.Temperance]

18. Now that would ROCK! I love Senator Evan Bayh

I wish Senator Bayh would have ran for President himself, he's just amazing, I think he has all-round appeal, and crucially he's got both Executive experience, having been a long-term Governor, and he's got Legislative experience, having been a long-term Senator....I think Senator Bayh would be very effective as well in winning the votes of disaffected Republicans and Independents.

Right now I'm predicting Clinton/Edwards or Clinton/Richardson.

BUT I'd be MASSIVELY excited and MASSIVELY pleased if Senator Clinton chose Senator Bayh as her Veep, Evan Bayh is probably my favorite Democrat, aside from Senator Mary Landrieu of course.

[TahitiNut]

29. (I think I'm going to be nauseous.)

:puke: :puke:

[...of J.Temperance]

34. Sorry, I couldn't help....I just ADORE Senator Evan Bayh

I know that came across like I'm President of the Senator Evan Bayh Fan Club....but the fact IS that I'm a MASSIVE fan of Senator Evan Bayh.

The man ROCKS!

[TahitiNut]

37. You probably like haggis, too.

:rofl:

[...of J.Temperance]

46. Lol!

HAGGIS?! Nah, never....I'd never eat that crap....I'm in Glasgow, Scotland, I know places that serve Haggis for breakfast....Yuk!

My Dad's partial to a bit of Haggis though.

[HooptieWagon]

36. Move over, make room for another.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[PollThis]

38. We're talking DLC overload.nt

[...of J.Temperance]

48. No not DLC overload....

DLC Overlord....you will EVENTUALLY just succumb to us....don't fight it....just let us take you....it's easier for you that way.

;)

[...of J.Temperance]

47. What you as well? Have you tried....

Should work wonders!


On Edit: Added comment

[thegreatcause2]

10. Clark

[booley]

11. Stephan Colbert..or better yet Superman.

Since as of yet Gore has yet to announce he is running, any discussion is just idle speculation

[PollThis]

12. Al Gore should keep doing what he is doing, let

John Edwards and Mario Cuomo get to work and clean up Washington. And resort America back to the respected world leader it was pre GWB.

[MethuenProgressive]

13. Jesus!

Cuz he ain't running either.

[MzNov]

17. Tipper Gore. She's the only person he can trust.

[Labors of Hercules]

21. Nah... Barbara Boxer. Tipper would be a kickass cabinet member though.

Has that ever happened before? for a first lady to be appointed to a cabinet post?

[undeterred]

19. Who should Jesus' wife be?

I'm just askin'. :shrug:

[Labors of Hercules]

24. Mary Magdeline, if I'm not mistaken.

What are you saying? Al Gore = Jesus???

That's cool with me!
Anyone else got a problem being called a disciple of Gore? :rofl:

[undeterred]

28. But what would we eat at the last supper?

And which of us would betray him? :evilgrin:

[Labors of Hercules]

42. We'll eat lots of nuts and fruit...

And you know damn well which DUer would be most likely to betray him... and she'd probably say it's in his best interest. :crazy:

[Samantha]

20. Draft Caroline Kennedy for Vice President

If she declines, reel in Russ Feingold. Actually, I highly respect Russ Feingold so either works for me. Bobby Kennedy Jr. works as well.

[Tejanocrat]

23. Gore-Carter '08! Campaign slogan: "They ain't running but wouldn't it be super cool if they were!"

[Swamp Rat]

25. Edwards, Kucinich, Boxer, Feingold, RFK Jr., Conyers, Clark, Bob Graham, Obama, ME!

[earthlover]

26. I think Hillary would be a great VP for Gore

Clark would be great too.

[Honeycombe8]

27. What's he running for? It's not President...he has told the world that.

He's not going to run against people that he was on the ticket with a few years ago, for one thing.

He has said repeatedly and definitively that he has no intention of running. That's about as definitive as any politician gets about future events.

He has not said he has no intention of running for Senator or something, though. He won't need a running mate, in that event.

[lame54]

49. false

he has not yet ruled it out

[Honeycombe8]

52. Yes, he has.

He has said he has no intention of running for political office. Ever.

Can't get any plainer than that. Maybe those aren't the magic words you want, but those are the words he's chosen, and he has been consistent for a year or so now in saying it.

He's not running. He's on top of the world, after making a huge comeback in stature after getting beaten badly. He's not going to risk disrupting his stature or becoming a big loser, when he's sitting on top of the world. Not just because of ego and the stature in and of itself, which of course matters to everyone...but also because his stature now means he has more power and pull regarding the issues he cares about.

He's not running. Time to pick your second choice.

[JackORoses]

50. you are incorrect more than once here

First off, Hillary was never on the ticket with Al...First Lady is not an Official Position

Second, saying "I have no plans to run" is nowhere near definitive.

If you can find anywhere that he has made a definitive statement, you let me know.

[shadowknows69]

53. I have no plans to jump off the brooklyn bridge

not definitive but I assure you that you can take it to the bank. Move on. Give your money to a candidate.

[mondo joe]

30. Since this is fantasy anyway: Barney Frank.

[mondo joe]

32. Oh, or Russ Feinfold!

:-)

[stevedeshazer]

31. Al Gore isn't running

Good screen name, BTW.

[HooptieWagon]

33. LOL I had to smile

when I saw the title, and thought of the hill-heads words thrown back in their faces.

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Kucinich or Obama

[Dinah Steeler]

39. Gore isn't running

although it would be nice if he were.
If he were running, I'd like to see him pick Edwards.

[Booster]

40. What??? Lieberman's not available?

[Harper_is_Bush]

41. Mickey Mouse?

One fiction deserves another.

[book_worm]

43. well since this is a fantasy question--how about FDR?

[Common Sense Party]

44. Me.

I'll make sure Al always looks thin, by comparison.

[Norrin Radd]

45. Jessica Alba.

[TahitiNut]

51. (thud!) Amen!

Galaxy. Class. Tush.



Incomparable!
