Democrats, who should we nominate for president?

[Peralin]

I know it is way too early to decide, but I've been watching some of the debates and can't wait for next year's elections. I think that the country is sick of the Republican Party and the Democrats will nominate the next president. I think the Democratic primaries will be closer than the presidential election, so it's extremely important that the Democrats nominate a good candidate. I just wanted to take an early poll to see who is most popular.



I agree most with Joe Biden and Barack Obama. I really believe that Biden will do what he says he will. He seems to have passion, and I think if we nominate Biden we will get exactly what we expect. But he seems a little too angry sometimes and I'm not sure if he'll be cool under pressure. Obama, on the other hand, seems to be very reasonable and logical and cool under pressure. What do you think?

I agree completely (See my location). Biden and Obama are the two candidates that are best able to lead the American people. Biden's more of a firecracker who sticks to his guns, while Obama's more of an intellectual, collected type. I see Obama as the man who would be a much better President. However Biden would bring a much needed spark to the campaign and keep things interesting, so I would love to see him get the nod for V.P.

I voted Barack Obama, and I plan to caucus for him next January.

 

[Arillious]

My mind is not made up yet. I agree that unless the republicans really spin **** around somehow the Dems should have the next election in the bag. I voted Barak just because hes who I am currently favoring.

Good choice. I would be much more comfortable with Biden as Vice President than as President, only I don't really know how much influence the Vice President has on the President's decisions. Only I think Hillary Clinton will be on the ticket, if not as President than definitely as Vice. She has so much support that I would be surprised if she was left off the ballot.

 

[Kandahar]

The ultimate ticket would be Bill Richardson / Mark Warner.

 

[26 X World Champs]

I think the most qualified candidate in terms of experience, time spent in the executive branch and whose policies I agree with almost completely is Al Gore.

However I would also support Obama, Hillary, Biden, Edwards, Richardson or Dodd if they were to receive the nomination.

A Gore / Obama ticket would be incredible, a lock that would be a total and devastating defeat for the GOP which would make me very happy.:mrgreen:

I think it's time for a fresh face in the Oval Office. That would rule out, for me, Clinton and Gore. I agree with them on many issues, but if the Democratic Party really wants to present change, we should try for change. Doesn' that make sense? Along the same vein, Bill Richardson seems like he's "playing the game" a little too much. Believe it or not, his experience could work against him.

Still, you couldn't run with a completely unexperienced ticket. So, say, a first-term guy (Obama) teamed with a six-term guy that not many people know of (Biden) would be an excellent combination.

It's a shame Warner's not running. His nomination would literally assure a Democratic victory. I'd bet the farm on it.

I think Gore running and winning would correct the injustice of the 2000 election. I also think he's the most qualified and has matured greatly since 2000 to the point where his creditability around the world is at a monumental all-time high and that would go a long way to restoring the faith of the world in America.

Bush has done so much to hurt us globally and no one is better suited to correct Bush's fuc kups more than Gore...and with Obama as his running mate we're than looking at a potential 16 year Democratic run in the White House.

Richardson

I am not a democrat but I voted other because I could vote for Joe Leiberman......He is the only democrat with any balls.........

You're not a Democrat so your vote is pointless, meaningless and as always not in the best interest of what Democrats believe.

I won't tell you who the GOP should choose because I would be prejudiced by my wanting someone the Dems would trounce...and how ridiculous is it for you to select someone who's not running or considering running?

Please do not bother to reply to this thread it is a waste of your energy because this one is meant to be DEMOCRATS ONLY....

 

[Peralin]

My main problems with Richardson is his support for gun rights and the death penalty. He definitely isn't one of my favorites, but if he gets the nomination he'll likely get my vote as well.

Im glad Richardson is pro gun and pro death penlty. You kill someone...well guess what the state is gonna kill your *** back.

I don't want to start a debate about the death penalty, but I do want to say that the reason I oppose it is that I believe that the court system is imperfect and it would be a tragedy to executions on criminals only to find out later that they were innocent (and it HAS happened, due to DNA technology). As for gun rights, I think the second amendment is way outdated and is no longer needed. It is my personal opinion that banning guns from civilians would decrease crime rates.

Again, I don't want to debate either of these issues in this thread. I just thought is was necessary to explain why I disagree with Richardson.

:rofl

I'm sorry I found that extremely funny.

Without getting into debates here, I wish there was a pro-gun candidate running for the Dems that has a realistic shot of me supporting and them winning.

I am neither a democrat nor a republican but I could vote for a democrat if there was a decent one running.....

Right and Phil Leotardo is on next week's Sopranos....or the KC Royals can win the World Series this year....

Let me put it another way? If ONLY Democrats were running for President I do not think you would vote for one!

Under what hypothetical circumstances would you vote for one of the current Democratic candidates for President? (Not including if Ron Paul is the Republican nominee)

 

[AcePylut]

Too bad Lieberman got the boot from the Democrat party because he wasn't enough of a surrender monkey.

Edwards is my choice for best of that bad bunch of apples. They're all bad apples for deluding the US populace into thinking that all we have to do is "leave" to end a war. That's as ridikulus as this spellling of ridikulus: ridikulus.

As far as the Dem's having a "lock" on 2008? Running "against" Bush like they did in 2006 ain't gonna work because they aren't going to be running "against" Bush. Funny thing though, is that I bet their entire campaign is going to be an "against Bush" campaign.

Easy for me.

If the Democrat candidate will stand and fight Iraq to win, and not pull some lame arse "end the war now by losing" legislation... and the GOP candidate is the surrender monkey...

Then the Democrat gets my vote, even if he is the biggest socialist wanna-be bastage this side of the sun.

 

[rivrrat]

Which candidate fulfills the following requirements:

is pro-choice
is pro-gun rights
is anti-socialized medicine
is anti-affirmative action
is anti-Patriot Act
is pro-drug decriminalization
realizes that Social Security has failed
will tighten our borders
will get rid of illegal immigrants instead of rewarding them
will support our troops by getting them out of Iraq (and stop sacrificing lives needlessly)
will lower taxes and government spending
will decrease government size



That's the candidate I want.

I'd have to seriously consider Gore if he ran again. But I don't think that's gonna happan.

Sounds like me and you are in the same boat with some exceptions.

I think you probably need to look at the candidates on the "(R)" side of the column, though I wouldn't hold by breath with # 1, 6, 10, 11 and 12 with them either. The (R) group will probably be better at running up more public debt (if recent history is any guage) if that is important to you.
