DEAN PEOPLE - Who do y'all like right now for 2008?

[mdmc]

I am digging on Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich at this point in time. I doubt anyone, democrat, indy, or puke can beat Hillary. All that is left is finding out who will be HRC's veep and what the Dem ticket will stand for. I like Kucinich cause he will be in it to the end (he is not looking to be veep) and perhaps he can make the party take some progressive platform changes.

So who do you like in 2008?

[NYCGirl]

1. Gore and/or Obama. NT

[AlCzervik]

2. still figuring it out, not firm on anyone just yet. i've given money to 5 of them

and another 2 because my 12 year old daughter has her picks already so she asked me to send her 2 candidates $30 each--from her own money.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Your daughter rocks!

My daughter can vote in the next election and is bummed that 1. Dean isn't running 2. She doesn't really like anyone... but she's leaning toward Edwards... although we both wish it was Elizabeth that was running. I think Elizabeth could beat the pants off of Hilary.

[AlCzervik]

16. she's pretty funny, she went to all their web sites and actually printed stuff out

and then she made her choice so she gave the money to donate and then in turn i bought her a tshirt from her 2 choices and she's all excited to "Represent" and the she says "Sheesh Mom, stop being a fence sitter!" Damn liberal kid--get off mah lawn!

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Hahahaha! She needs to write those two candidates, tell them

how she donated and put that on their heads...so they don't let an earnest, intelligent child down. Good job on that one! You should be so proud.

[mdmc]

11. God bless your girlie!

:kick:

[mudesi]

3. How about Dean? (nm)

[mdmc]

9. He is too good at chairing the DNC my friend

i didn't think that Dean (or anyone) could have beat w. in 2004. I liked Dean cause he (and Braun, Sharpton, and Kucinich) all got the war right (by right I mean they thought that overthrowing the bathe party would make us less safe - they were right - everyone else is waking up to public opinion, imho).

[ecstatic]

43. he would be my top choice too

Other than that, I'm now in the Kucinich camp because at least his actions match his words.

[lvx35]

4. That's exactly how I feel. Hillary is ordained, she has been for a long time.

But we can dream. I kind of like Gore, but I think there is almost something bad about letting Global warming become a "Dem" issue. But I may be wrong about that.

[mdmc]

23. In NYS all the Leiberman dems are backing Hillary in 2008

I am often told to OBEY HRC (cause it is inevitable that she will win and of course you don't want to rock the boat of local dems running in 2007 and 2008 that want Hillary's support).

All the Leiberman 2004 supporters are now supporting Hillary 2008. At least in NYS.

[Straight Shooter]

5. Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore.

And Al Gore. :D

[Malikshah]

6. Gore/Feingold

None of the current crop are speaking to me

[EFerrari]

7. A sane adult. n/t

[mdmc]

15. sfexpat2000 in 2008!

God bless the sane! This is NAMI month so bless the ill as well. :hi:

[EFerrari]

24. You bet!

And you're right. I should have said, an adult who is managing his/her issues most of the time!

:hi:

[ThomWV]

10. Gore/Edwards

Experience and a ample consideration for domestic programs.

[mdmc]

17. They also compliment each other quite well my friend

Peace to you and yours...

[BurtWorm]

12. I'm waiting.

I didn't get behind Dean until August 2003. I need to see some of these characters in person before I get moved one way or the other. I'm doubting there will be another Dean in the race.

Unless Gore gets in.

[mod mom]

13. Al Gore!!!!!!

[Beaverhausen]

14. Edwards/Clark

I want Howard to run though.

[Melinda]

18. Gore, of course. n/t

[MasonJar]

20. Gore or if he does not run, whomever the dems pick. GOPers must go.

[Morgana LaFey]

21. Like? Absolute no one. I'm hoping someone else will enter,

such as: Al Gore (very, very slim to none chance, as I see it).

Hillary? She's so damned beatable the Republicans want her to win the primaries desperately. DESPERATELY. In fact, if ole Rove is stuffing any ballot boxes (or "switching" any votes, see http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x461782#461783 ) during the primary, it'll be to Hillary.

[Swamp Rat]

22. Al Gore, Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards, Barak Obama, Wes Clark, et al.

Howard Dean would make a fine president too.

Fuck the DLC!

[mdmc]

27. peace and low stress my friend

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

29. Thanks... we need that here in New Orleans... REALLY BAD.

We do not know if we will be alive by the end of this hurricane season because Bushler would rather use the national treasury to exterminate Arabs for oil instead of fixing our levees.

[mdmc]

38. My thoughts are with NOLA

:kick:

[mod mom]

28. I agree.

although I'm holding out for Gore, I could support any progressive (which means OUTSIDE OF THE DLC!)

[ananda]

25. If not Gore..

.. then I could support Edwards.

I like Kucinich a lot, too.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

26. Gore, if he doesn't run, then edwards

hillary's a rightwing fraud and obama is spineless

[dave29]

30. Al Gore.

no question.

[nevergiveup]

31. Obama , Edwards or Richardson

I am leaning Obama but think all would make great candidates.

[Geek_Girl]

32. Edwards

If Gore runs then Gore.

[Pastiche423]

33. GORE

[InvisibleTouch]

34. Gore, Kucinich, Edwards, in that order.

On edit: as I keep saying, though, I wouldn't be unhappy at all with any of our candidates.

[TheFarseer]

35. Dean was my first choice in 2004

Edwards was my second back then and he's top dog for me now. I think he's actually in good position. I theorize that Obama or Edwards will bow out and whoever is left from those two will beat Hillary because there is alot of anti-Hillary sentiment. I like Kucinich also, but he would get squished by the GOP in the general. Obama would be fine also, but I prefer Edwards.

[dsc]

36. I haven't really decided yet

I like some things about Richardson and like some things about Edwards and haven't made up my mind.

[KatyaR]

37. Nobody right now.

I was interested in Feingold, but then he decided not to run, and no one else has impressed me much, so I'm still in the "unsure" column for right now.

I want someone to inspire me, and none of them do that.

We need another Howard!

[Bravo Zulu]

42. me too

I read somewhere that a candidate that is the front runner this far away from the election has never won the nomination, so maybe HRC isn't a slam dunk!

[underpants]

39. ________/Richardson is as close to a lock as you will get right now

I would prefer that the name at the front be Edwards but any of them would do. Richardson is going to be hard to deny if he lasts past St.Patty's day next year.

[mnhtnbb]

40. Edwards. I especially like him taking Congress to task on the Iraq capitulation.

[Le Taz Hot]

41. Gore, then Kucinich.

And if Hillary "wins" the nomination, we won't have to worry about the General.

[DemGa]

44. It's Gore

Gore/Clark the more I think about it.

[Arugula Latte]

45. Edwards/Obama...or Obama/Edwards. nt

[WI_DEM]

46. It's between Edwards and Obama at this point for me but all bets are off if Gore

runs, but I don't think he will.

[w4rma]

47. Edwards and Gore. Obama and Hillary are both fakes. (nt)
