Potential Ticket?

I like it better than McCain

and can actually help in the south, especially louisiana.

acceptable choices for me!

:kick:

I mean, why do you like Breaux better than McCain?

I checked out Breaux's record, I didn't like what I saw. If you want someone with a consevative record, at least McCain has Independent appeal.

Let's stick with a Center/Left Dem. Try a governor - not another Senator - or someone with lots of experience in a past administration.

because while breaux's own voting record is conservative he has always been a loyal democrat. he has always supported other democrats and while he votes different from most democrats because he comes from a conservative state, he doesn't bash the democrats as zell miller and joe lieberman do. and for some democrats that' s a big thing.

I'm not supporting McCain, I'm just not enthusiastic about Breaux.

a DEMOCRAT. And he does appeal to independents.

Granted I wish he would vote more liberal in some cases but you can tell that he's not a Republican.

That's a winning ticket, too.

Breaux makes a lot of sense as VP, frankly. He's very well-liked in LA, a battleground/swing state, and he would help elsewhere, like AR, TN, FL and (possibly) NC and VA; he is also an able campaigner and a good speaker who could help our House and senate candidates, as well. While I prefer Edwards, Breaux works on many levels, too.

..but I don't think he would be right for Kerry, that said Kerry/Breaux could win and no doubt would carry LA. Breaux has always been loyal to the party sticking with us through think and thin and defending Mary Landrieu tooth and nail the other year in her re-election despite Bush heaping praise on him when he went to stump for Landrieu's opponent. Yeah he's a conservative Dem only a little to the left of GOP moderates like Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter but he's a good man and a loyal one.

But as I said not right For Kerry... Edwards is the only choice or perhaps Mark Warner.

And he really went to the wall for Mary Landrieu. I've heard that the GOP has tried repeatedly to get him to switch parties and he's told them to get stuffed every time.

...as I said he's a conservative Dem, but while the likes of Miller get scores in the 80's from the American Conservative Union Breaux get about 42, on a par with moderates in the GOP like Specter and Snowe (she's about 54 I think)... Apparently after he was "elected" (First US president elected by Five people... but enough of that :mad: )Bush invited Breaux to his ranch and offered him the post of sectary of state Breaux effectively said "Hell No" and then while Bush praised him he went the extra mile for Landrieu... this thing is in both parties its not about being a radical or a moderate its about being loyal to the party and its principles, Zell is not, to an extent Lincoln in R.I is not but folks like Breaux or Specter are, and both should be commended for that.

He's the driving force behind democratic dominance in Louisiana. All be it that some of our elected officials *cough Kathleen Blanco *cough are DINOs but still much better than the repukes.

I think we would carry Louisiana and Arkansas with Breaux. Also, he would keep Bush so busy in the South and border states, that it would help in the midwest. I don't really think that Breux is being considered, however. Have not heard of any vetting of Breaux. Unless he is the surprise choice we hear about sometimes.

I would vote for the ticket, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

a Democrat. He's as much a Dem as Zell is a Repuke. I bet he switches parties once we have control

he is no traitor like Zell.

...Are those two playing pussy-foot in that photo?
