Preference Poll Including No Actual Candidates
Other than the people who are actually running for the presidency, who would you be most willing to support?

My choice: RuPaul. White House press conferences would have a bit of glamor and wit about them. And honestly, how many presidents have truly been supermodels to the world?

Who is your choice of the people who are not running for president?

7. Monica
Why she has experience handling a staff of Chief! :donut:

Her slogan could be, "Let's not blow it again."

16. Nice
Be sure to include a little joke like that when you write to Clinton to ask him to endorse your man.

If I wanted to read Clinton jokes, there are a million right-wing sites, and there's always Jay Leno, Chris Matthews and Dennis Miller.

8. Jerry Brown or Al Gore
Jerry is busy with oakland, and tony is busy getting toppled off the labour party leadership.

Mario Cuomo wouldn't be bad either.

Maybe Gary Hart.

Hillary Clinton...

Al Gore, had he not dropped out, would, IMO, be the best candidate to win again. I'm actually bummed that he dropped out... though i prefer dennis kucinich's policies... i also want to win.

11. Easy choice
Russ Feingold. The only one in the Senate to vote against the Patriot Act, the best ACLU ratings in the entire Senate, one of only a handful of Democrats in the Senate who are solid opponents of the death penalty, one of only a handful of Democrats in the Senate who went against the wishes of their own party and voted against most of the Clinton-era crime bills and anti-terrorism bills, and maybe the only person in the Senate who could rightfully be called a progressive.

12. I like Russ too even though I choose Nader before
We are very proud of our Dems here in WI especially Feingold and Congressman Obey who represents my district. Hey how about a Feingold/Nader Ticket. The Jew & the Arab. That definately be a kick.

13. Dave Obey rocks too
Russ Feingold and Dave Obey are both worth their weight in gold. We could use an entire Senate and House full of people like them.

14. Al Franken
when shrub loses the election I think the candidate who beats him owes a thank you to Al Franken for opening the eyes of millions.
