"Obama VP buzz rises around two Democrats"...Nunn would be a HUGE slap in the face.

[Bluebear]

"The former Senate Armed Services Committee chairman who forced President Clinton to back down in 1993 plans to allow homosexuals to openly serve in the military...."

NUNN - NO WAY.

1. Nunn's a homophobic shit. A DINO. nt

[IndianaJones]

12. how is he a DINO? nt.

[Zhade]

20. Because he supports discrimination against GLBT folk, which is highly undemocratic.

You DO support equal rights (including marriage) for GLBT people, right?

People who don't are not welcome on DU, per Skinner's own words.

[IndianaJones]

22. what world are you living in? nt.

[Alexander]

2. Neither one of them has a chance.

Thank God.

[JerseygirlCT]

3. I'm with you: no way.

No way for Nunn, no way for Hagel, no way.

I might not love some of the other names being bandied about now, but those two are simply unacceptable under any circumstances.

[Mojambo]

4. Blech!

I'm gonna have to glue my nostrils shut completely come November.

[KG]

5. apparently, john mccain isn't available this campaign.

[NattPang]

6. Don't get too worked up while speculating.

I wouldn't want you to break furniture
based on what the media speculates.

[Bluebear]

8. Thanks ever so much for your caring concern.

:hi:

[DeltaLitProf]

7. Get Bob Graham!

Pretending to consider so many democrats does get them fired up to be good surrogates, but ultimately Graham is who he needs.

[DarthDem]

9. Nothing to See Here

Just media masturbation based on an event that must have been scheduled far in advance. There is no chance that homophobic, Clarence Thomas-enabler from GA will be selected, and Bayh will mean the loss of a Senate seat that will be tough to regain. Neither one is going to be named.

[Bluebear]

10. Thank you :)

[Captain Hilts]

15. Other than being a homophobic, Clarence Thomas enabler, Nunn's okay! nt

[Political Heretic]

11. It won't be either one of them.

[IndianaJones]

13. don't you realize there is more a stake here than pet causes like civil rights? nt.

[KamaAina]

14. Whereas Bayh would only be a light slap in the face.

All the DLC cred of Nunn, but without the homophobia (that I know of, anyway).

[rucky]

16. That would be a colossal mistake.

[dysfunctional press]

17. at this point, i fully expect him to pick a dlc running mate...

he's been shitting on the left wing quite a bit since they helped him become the presumptive nominee.

[texasleo]

18. Wes Clark or bust!

:toast: :toast: :toast:

[Lex]

19. Nunn? Obama-Nunn? Obama-None.

:shrug:

[mitchtv]

21. I can't believe we are that shy on talent

Hagel or Nunn would push me out of the party I've supported since the seventies.

[mitchum]

23. Nunn is a homphobe who loves to give our $$$$$$$$$$ to defense contractors

No to Nunn
