Poll question: If John Kerry is not elected in 2004, who is your choice for 2008?
Just hypothetical. Don't say John Kerry will get elected, because that isn't the question. I beleive he will get elected, but there is always a chance he won't. In that case, who would be your choice to run in 2008?

Edited on Fri May-28-04 08:51 PM by seekthetruth
when not around his handlers. with big dick's bunker building and the abject greed and disregard for human life, i really think that they know something WE don't know. there seems to be a sense of desperation coming from them, i dunno...

ok, i'll take off my :tinfoilhat: *sigh*

as they will give freedom-loving Americans no choice but total outright civil war, to recapture our government that they stole from us.

71. I will "vote" for whoever is heading the armed resistance by then.....
my guess it will be Clark, unless they assassinate the likely leaders.
I am serious, btw.
If Kerry does not win, it is Civil War.
And your choice will not be to vote. That quaint notion will be histroy. Your "vote" will be a little more bloody than punching holes in a booth. There'll be other kinds of holes, and we'll be hanging guys named Chad.

Why even think that Bush will be in for 4 more years? For one thing, if he is, I have NO IDEA what condition our country will be in 2008 except that it will probably be worse. If Bush's wet dream comes true, we'll be well on our way to Armageddon.

77. Reagan came close. in 1976..unlike Dean...
...very close... Dean collapsed totally and didn't win a thing with Reagan it went all the way to the Convention, Dean didn't even come close to that.

Reagan was a strong likable candidate he never hurt his public appearance of an "affable guy" Dean after Iowa seemed an angry radical and even before then there was that perception. Reagan was likable and articulate, Dean could be stiff and always seemed tense, not that he is not personally a decent guy... but he won't be able to win the Democratic nomination... ever after his complete failure... what is more Reagan didn't just come close to getting the nomination he did it against an incumbent President!! There is really no comparison.

If Bush* can "win" after screwing up the war, the economy, gas prices, the job market, and our relationship with the rest of the civilized world,:mad:x(:mad::mad::wtf::argh:
then there would no longer be any conceivable circumstances under which he could lose,
and they would likely dispense with opposition parties on the claim that they were hotbeds of dissidents and terrorists.
They would make Ann Coulter head of Homeland Security so she and Ashcroft could
mount a coordinated campaign against supporters of the outlawed Democratic Party.:scared:

We would have an electoral system similar to the former Soviet Union and
the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.:cry:

69. This could be a meaningless question
If John Kerry is not elected in 2004, or if, like Gore, he wins and is not allowed to take office, it is likely that there will be no meaningful election in 2008.

76. John Edwards…


But he would only be strong enough had he been the running mate with Kerry IMHO, otherwise he could still win but it might be tougher.

Others (in order of preference)…

Mark Warner (he could very well have been elected as a Senator by then, being term limited and out of office in early 2006).

Ed Rendell, (if he has sorted out PA, and got solidly re-elected).

Mike Easley (because he perhaps after Granholm the best Democratic Governor in the country).

Evan Byah, because I really respect him, and for the record he isn’t nearly as conservative as some like to paint him… he perhaps the most reasonable and civil senator in Washington, but I’m not sure he’s charismatic enough.

…Chris Dodd could be a possibility, however Kerry was from the North East and if he lost then Dodd could well just not be a credible candidate. Bill Nelson I like a great deal but can be a bit dull, but also at time quite entertaining to listen to. Harold Ford is too young and (fingers crossed) will have only been in the senate less than two years. Mary Landrieu is a possibility as is Blanche Lincoln.
