In your perfect world, who would be President and VP now?

[mvd]

I pick Kucinich as President over Boxer, only because I agree with Kucinich on even more. Though I wonder if Boxer's death penalty stance (weak support) is only to satisfy her constituents and doesn't reflect her values. Boxer would be my choice for VP, becoming President after Kucinich's 2 terms are over. What are your choices?

[LiberalEsto]

1. Kucinich-Boxer

That's perfect enough for me

[marmar]

2. Dean and Obama

Time to Barack the vote again!

:party:

[Withywindle]

38. A 43-year-old who's been in the Senate three weeks?

You're talking about your perfect world circa 2013, right?


(I keep harping on this, but I don't wanna see him pull an Edwards.)

[imenja]

3. Boxer---Shelia Jackson Lee

Not Kucinich. I can't see him being a good president. He has lovely ideas, but is too uptopian to govern well. Boxer is tough. He's do a great job.

[mvd]

14. Big thinking is always good IMO

It's one reason I chose Kucinich. :-)

[PROGRESSIVE1]

4. President Al Gore and Vice President Boxer would be starting their...

second term!

:dem:

[katmondoo]

13. Yes President Gore

He would have been our finest President

[Bridget Burke]

34. VP Leiberman left to spend more time with his family....

And VP Boxer has done so well that she's on the short list for the party's presidential nomination. (Although there's lots of talk about Senator Wellstone.)

President Gore's health care initiative is beginning to bear fruit for all. His encouragement of high tech, education & infrastructure repair have infused the economy with new life after the slight dip of 2001; the surplus surely helped.

Saddam is still being watched like a hawk, but the lifting of sanctions has helped the Iraqi people. Two towers still stand at the tip of Manhattan.

W sold the pig farm & went into rehab; Laura has filed for divorce. Republicans bitch & moan--some things will never change.

[Hippo_Tron]

5. Bartlett/Hoynes

[Blue_In_AK]

6. Kerry/Edwards, the real winners on 11/2/04 n/t

[EVDebs]

9. Agreed.

[Warpy]

7. Any of the Dem field would do

although I agreed with Kucinich on more, I backed Dean because he'd done an end run around the stinking DLC and built his own organization. Lieberman was my least favorite, for obvious reasons.

DLC loyalists in Congress and throughout the whole government would have made it impossible for either Dean or Kucinich to do much, though.

I really think the first order of business must be to diminish their party power. As kingmakers, they suck.

[ieoeja]

8. Me and Catherine Zeta-Jones

[daydreamer]

10. Hillary Clinton with Elizabeth Edwards as VP

But any Democrat is better than that Texas shrub.

[utahgirl]

17. How about Boxer and Elizabeth Edwards

That would work, too.

utahgirl

[imenja]

19. great choice!

I love Elizabeth Edwards. She is incredibly smart and capable.

[UrbScotty]

11. Dean and Kucinich

Dean believes in regular people, and Kucinich acts like a regular person.

[Carolab]

53. Seconded. OR Dean and Cobb.

I've really come to admire Cobb.

[AntiCoup2K4]

12. President Dean & Vice President Clark

The ticket which should have been nominated in 2004, and the one that would have led to a Diebold-proof victory over Scarecrow & Tinman.

[saltpoint]

15. Bill Moyers and Alexis Herman.

Although that cheats the true winners last November -- John Kerry and John Edwards.

[LisaM]

16. I like that Gore/Boxer combo

I go with that. I think Al Gore had the potential to be one of the finest presidents we'd ever known.

[blonndee]

18. Kucinich/Boxer n/t

[Goldeneye]

20. Kerry/ Boxer

sorry Edwards...I love you too!

[Shrek]

21. Gore / Lieberman

Just starting their second term.

[zulchzulu]

22. Zappa/Vidal

Frank Zappa as Prez with Gore Vidal as VP...hey you said "perfect world".

[mvd]

23. Yep.. I did

I wanted to hear our favorites - not the people we like who have the the best chance at winning.

Creative ticket, BTW. :hi:

[Cats Against Frist]

50. Yeah, I'd put a re-animated Zappa and Vidal in the cabinet

[dogman]

24. Clark/Kerry

Nothings changed that since last year.

[Tom Rinaldo]

25. Clark/Boxer, or Clark/Conyers

Let's bust a barrier while we are at it. And Dean for DNC Chair.

[ginnyinWI]

26. President John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden

Atty. General John Edwards, Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke,
National Security Advisor Wes Clark, Sec. of Defense Max Cleland.
DNC Chair Howard Dean, Homeland Security Advisor Dennis Kucinich.

[nevergiveup]

27. Kennedy/Dean

I am feeling very anti-war today

[borg5575]

41. Why not Teddy?

Why not Teddy? I know he's old but isn't it time that the last surviving Kennedy brother steps up to the plate and tries to save his country?

I know I would support Teddy in a heartbeat if he runs for the nomination. I'd like Boxer for VP.

[ginnyinWI]

63. too many skeletons in his closet. n/t

[txaslftist]

28. Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams

Hey...you said a perfect world, right?

[Adelante]

29. Clark/Boxer nt

[TheDonkey]

30. Kerry/Mfume

Kwame Mfume outgoing President of the NAACP is really impressive to me.

[ginnyinWI]

32. he is an impressive man n/t

[mvd]

33. After Boxer's terms are over..

I would choose an African American for President. We'll see how Obama does. Really like Sheila Jackson-Lee.

[Clark2008]

31. Clark and it doesn't matter

If I had Wes Clark for president, I wouldn't care who the vp was. I'd even take Edwards!

:D

[First48H]

45. me too

Wesley Clark and anybody he wants!!

[DireStrike]

35. Alda/Kucinich

...or the other way around, I guess.

;)

[MuseRider]

36. Kucinich - Boxer

I had not put those two together until I saw this thread and I am liking it.

[bunny planet]

37. Kerry/Boxer

[TOOLZ]

39. Nader & Arianna Huffington

[Withywindle]

40. President Gore will have just started his 2nd term...

Lieberman will have stepped down for personal reasons, and new Vice President John Kerry will be just settling in. :)

[JaneQPublic]

69. The "personal reason" Lieberman stepped down:

He lost his "Joe-mentum."

[Withywindle]

73. There's a pill for that...

...and he can do commercials for it like Bob Dole.

[tjdee]

42. Alby Gore and John Edwards.

:(

[cestpaspossible]

43. Kerry/Edwards

duh

[IronLionZion]

44. Dean and Clark, McCain, Cobb, Boxer, or Mfume

But I'd settle for just about any independent thinker over an establishment tool any day

[Donna Zen]

58. establishment tool

IMHO_I will not be putting McCain on any independent thinker lists.

[IronLionZion]

59. He's been a disappointment lately

but he was a kick ass maverick until the 2004 election. Denny Hastert and Tom DeLay hate his guts. he hates Bush's guts

[Maccagirl]

McCain talks the talk

but NEVER walks the walk. He puts party over principle every time.

[in_cog_ni_to]

46. President Wes Clark Vice President Howard Dean or Conyers or Rangel or

Boxer or Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson Lee. I REALLY want to see an AA and a woman as Prez or VP in MY lifetime.

[Mend]

47. Robert Redford/Paul Newman

really, I mean it.

[Cats Against Frist]

48. Noam Chomsky and a re-animated Thomas Jefferson

Lew Rockwell -- Secretary of State
Ron Paul -- Secretary of Defense

[Demi_Babe]

49. Kerry/Edwards

[VOX]

51. Gore/Edwards.

Gore would have been reelected by a huge margin, with Lieberman retiring.

Edwards, who **almost** was Gore's VP pick in 2000, would be just coming on board, bringing in a new wave of energy, and aligning himself as the man to beat in 2008.

[orpupilofnature57]

52. Robin Williams Pres. Bill Gates V.P

[OneBlueSky]

54. Robert Redford and Gary Hart . . . or vice versa . . . n/t

.

[DFLforever]

55. Gore/Dean followed by Dean/Boxer.

[FrenchieCat]

56. Wes Clark and Julian Bond.....

or Clark/Feingold

[trillian]

57. Wes Clark/whoever! n/t

[zulchzulu]

60. Steve Jobs/Cliff Stoll

Since we need Steve Jobs, a very good person who knows tech and gives a positive message about American technology as well as manages virtual worlds that Pixar produces, AND we need someone who is really up on security issues, UNIX, multiple spoken languages as well is a very swell fellow, Cliff Stoll would round off the ticket perfectly.

Now THAT'S a ticket.


Steve Jobs


Cliff Stoll

Steve is at Apple. Cliff has a page: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~stoll/

[LittleClarkie]

61. John/John with Clark as SoS and

Dean as Health and Human Services

Sharpton as press secretary. :-D

[mikita]

62. Derrick Jensen and Bill Blum

[Dinger]

64. Clark/Boxer!

I drool when I think of the debates. Still, I am sorry I missed Clark vs. the giggling murderer - that would have been one for the ages!

[KittyWampus]

65. Gore/Kerry... If Only Gore Had Picked Kerry

[Generator]

66. Robert Kennedy Sr.

Didn't it all end in '68? I'm afraid his death was the end of any hope of any real change. I've thought that many times before..and the more I learn about our great secret goverment, the more I'm convinced we don't stand a chance. But you never know.

[marcologico]

68. Good one. I'd settle for Teddy

maybe with Conyers as VP.

[Cheswick2.0]

67. Gore/Dean .............. and in 2008

Dean/Boxer or some other liberal and/or populist female candidate.

[marcologico]

70. yesterday's men, sorry n/t

[mithnanthy]

71. President Gore and V.P. Kucinich

Two men I trust completely to represent and stand-up for ALL the people, especially concerning the most important issues.

[gorbal]

72. Ben and Jerry

Ice Cream Heaven!

[Bonobo]

74. Frank Zappa and Kurt Vonnegut
