Clark, Hillary, Gore, Kerry, Edwards or Rubber Ducky for 2008 Pres!

[KoKo]

Poll question: Clark, Hillary, Gore, Kerry, Edwards or Rubber Ducky for 2008 Pres!

The heat is on and here's the June Poll for 2008 Presidential Candidate.

If we can find agreement soon enough we can get our signs printed, our buttons produced and our bumper stickers on before June 15th. We can get this thing wrapped up and have all Summer to Campaign. Hell we have almost four years to campaign! Have at it!

[longship]

1. The General

Team Clark

[LittleClarkie]

4. The General

[elshiva]

14. LOL!

[FrenchieCat]

22. The Ass Kicking General!

[LittleClarkie]

26. So does mine

Um... sometimes.

[FrenchieCat]

29. Well as long as he's kicking Rethuglican ass

It's all good!

[LittleClarkie]

30. True.

Maybe people would prefer someone more clean cut, though.

[FrenchieCat]

33. Want my advice?

if he Loses the glasses, gets a tan, takes off the hat, lifts some weights, loosens the tie, ditches the suit and wins a war....you may be onto something.

[Somawas]

2. Get on to important stuff

like the 2006 election and being sure the votes are actually counted and tallied honestly.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Neither.

For Christ's sake.

Henceforth to be represented as "ibid."

[nickshepDEM]

5. NOTA... NOTA... NOTA...None Of The Above...

Governor Mark Warner

[LittleClarkie]

6. Why do you hate the duckie. Why are you a duckie hater.

How unAmerican.

[nickshepDEM]

7. Ok, Ill vote for the Ducky.

My guy will be on the ballot, and win when it counts. :woohoo:

[KoKo]

9. Ducky Reigns....until 2003!

:D I added a few for "speculation."

[KoKo]

10. I just added his name and a few others. To be fairer.

:D

[nickshepDEM]

8. Not fair! I vote for the damn duck, and then you add my candidate.

[FrenchieCat]

11. Politics is a

Blood sport....and you fell for the old "Vote for the Duckie or you are Unamerican" Trick! :spank:

[LittleClarkie]

16. Gotta be careful about that stuff

next thing you know, you wake up with a duckie in the White House.

[FrenchieCat]

21. You thought is not far fetched....

As we currently have a Monkey's ass in there!.....and that has certainly been terrifying!

[LittleClarkie]

23. I thought about that, wondering if folks would notice

if we substituted a duckie for a chimp.

[FrenchieCat]

27. Well if it quacked like a duck.....

they'll know it's not the illiterate chimp's ass! If he keeps his bill shut...they may not notice.

Would be nice to try....just to see.

[KoKo]

12. LOL's .....you could PM Skinner...and ask him to change your vote...

but for now you are stuck with the duck. Frankly he's my choice right now. :D I like to give things more time to sort out.

[KoKo]

13. Just added Bayh....and ditched the Repugs. Didn't want to

get thrown off here. Hoping the Duck get's more votes through the night.

[Auntie Bush]

15. I just got home and in the knick of time and voted for Clark and

broke the tie with Gore. Ha! Now Clark is ahead! Ducky doesn't have a chance.

Now I have to go and listen to Clinton!

[LittleClarkie]

17. I see little Miss Inevitable is losing to our fine feathered friend though

Har.

[AntiCoup2K4]

18. Rubber Duckie has some negatives....

you know, the whole Bert - Ernie - Duckie triangle thing.

But at least he's not DLC.

[janx]

20. Are you insinuating that the Duck is some kind of a pervert?

:shrug:

[Clark2008]

55. I was thinking that anything rubber wouldn't get the Catholic vote.

;)

[usregimechange]

19. Gore/Clark Fudge it!

[Texas_Kat]

24. Before I vote for Mr Duck, I demand to know

1. What is his position on the toxic waste generated by bath products
2. What is his health policy... (he better agree to a first alert bracelet in every bathroom, or there will be picketing!).
3. Is Big Bird his first nomination for SCOTUS?
4. Is he a neochicken in duckie clothing -- er, uh... feathers?
5. How long has he been a duck.... didn't he vote for some chickens earlier in his career?
6. Can he quack a speech to 'talk the owls out of the trees'?
7. Has he floated any new ideas on curing potential pandemics--specifically the Asian bird flu?
8. Is the Grudge report that he was seen with ducklings true?
9. Isn't there a swan in his family? (whats with up that?!??!?!?!??!)
10. Will he sink the budget by insisting on tax breaks for egrets while worker birds are left to pay the price?
11. Can he warble "Let the Eagle Soar?"
12. Will he explain what his campaign slogan "A chicken in every pot" really means?
13. When he said he could defeat other water fowl quickly, did he really have to say "like SH*T through a goose"? Does it mean an air war and miscellaneous bombing?

Now that I've thought about it a little, you may be on to something here. Mr. Duck may just start a whole new 3rd party.

[FrenchieCat]

25. You got me with the Swan

:rofl:

[Texas_Kat]

34. Those who laugh together..... wind up voting together

Those who don't ... need a better sense of humor

[Gold Metal Flake]

28. Rubber DSuckie was Gannon/Guckert's code name.

Rubber Duckie, you're the ONE
You make bathtime lots of FUN...

[Clarkie1]

31. So, is all the Hillary hype part of "creating the reality?"

I wonder, I really wonder.

[Gold Metal Flake]

38. They didn't want to run against Clark in 2004...

...and they don't want to run against him in 2008.

You know that if the Corporment feared Hil that you would not see or hear of her in the Corpormedia. Hil can do great things in the Senate, especially if we manage to achieve a Dem majority.

[LittleClarkie]

32. Speaking of Gannon

Duckie's bald. Better keep him away from Bush then. I'm not sure Duckie would appreciate a courtesy rub.

[Crunchy Frog]

35. Ducky sounds just ducky to me.

:)

[Apollo11]

36. Gore Boxer 2008 !!

Let's allocate the positions based on experience and merit:

President Al Gore
VP Barbara Boxer
John Kerry - Secretary of State
Wes Clark - Secretary of Defense
Hillary - Senate Majority Leader
John Edwards - Cabinet position of his choice

[newyawker99]

41. Hi Apollo11!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[AntiCoup2K4]

67. Based on that lineup, I'd pick Edwards for Attorney General

Will Clark have his 10 years in by then and be eligible for SecDef?

[JHBowden]

37. Gov. Warner

Warner has done well with health care and education in Virginia. He connects well with rural voters, has a great relationship with the black community, and was a co-founder of Nextel.

[nickshepDEM]

39. JHBowden get's it...

:)

[KoKo]

40. Kick for the Ducky.

[MeDeMax]

42. BAD POLL...

I am sorry, but this is silly, one of the choices ought to be:

"You are wasting peoples' time on hypotheticals"

if you need something to do, roll up your sleeves and get working on '06 congressional campaigns, I know there are plenty of candidates looking for volunteers.

We need to win the house and senate, preferably in your state too, to even begin thinking about the WH in '08.

Waste of time poll.

[Texas_Kat]

44. Well, of course it is....

that was pretty much the point, wasn't it?

[Dr Fate]

43. I like Clark, Gore & Kerry.

n/t

[KoKo]

45. I'm still rooting for the Ducky....at this point...

:D

[KoKo]

46. Clark wins every vote! I'm still rooting for Ducky...though...

I like Clark...but think it's way too soon to have so many hearts out there for him. :shrug: Ducky doesn't have so much invested and could be the "Dark Horse" challenger. :shrug:

[bklyncowgirl]

47. Rubber Ducky You're the One!

And he even has his own campeign song

http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/rubberducky.htm

How cool is that?

[KoKo]

48. "Rubber Ducky, Your the one...you make everything Fun...Rubber Ducky

You're the One for me...for Me..."

:-)'s DUCKY REIGNS....over Clark! This thread is Freeped...Clark isn't winning it's "DUCKY!"

[bklyncowgirl]

49. Hey, Ducky beats Hillary but Clark kicks ducky butt. nt

[KoKo]

54. Clark is very popular.....But, give the "Duck" a chance. Okay? n/t

[iwantmycountryback]

50. Other...

Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold!! If you're going to do a poll like this, he should definitely be on it.

[KoKo]

51. I thought he said he wasn't running. He just had some marriage problems?

I'd definitely prefer him to Bayh, but haven't seen him pushed on DU in the last couple of weeks. My post was more about the "Frenzied Hype" than serious, though.

I'm still for "Rubber Ducky." It's too early for me to commit or think about 08 with 06 being so important and I'm still trying to get over 00 and 04. :shrug:

[ArtVandaley]

52. Here here

Glad someone said it. We need new blood, not recycled losers like Gore, Kerry, Clark, and Edwards, or Hillary (not a recycled loser, but old guard still).

[KoKo]

53. A fresh face might come on the scene if we don't allow ourselves to get

"railroaded" by all these posts trying to hype candidates too soon. We already fell into this trap before... We have time, and with so much going on with Bush who knows what will happen.

"Rubber Ducky." For now....:shrug:

[paineinthearse]

56. Any particular reason for leaving BARBARA BOXER off the list?

After all, she has a perfect voting record AND was the only Senator with enough gonads to co-sign Rep. Tubbs-Jones challenge.

sheesh!

[KoKo]

57. ROOTING FOR DUCKY! COME ON! Slay CLARK!

:D...just having some fun here...just ignore.

[demwing]

58. Gore

Gore

[CalebHayes]

59. Warner!

[IndianaGreen]

60. Wes Clark always gets a minimum of 90 votes in every DU poll

Nothing wrong in having a group of dedicated supporters.

But, don't you think it is a bit premature to engage in these games? We have far more pressing issues in front of us, for example, which of the names listed (except for rubber ducky) has said anything about the Downing Street Memo? Shouldn't the partisans on this board be calling their preferred candidate to raise the issue of Bush lying to the country about WMDs? Shouldn't they be mentioning the "I" word?

I am sure that if we exert enough pressure on our politicians, eventually one of the Presidential wannabees will say "IMPEACH BUSH!"

Let's hope it happens sooner rather than later.

[KoKo]

61. My post is actually about fun...you just need to read the original a littl

more carefully. I think it's too early to pick a candidate. That's why "Ducky" is my choice.

I understand that most of us read quickly these days and there's little time for "nuance." I'm guilty of that myself. I posted because of frustration with "early candidates" when we have almost three years to go.

Thanks for your comments, though. I hear ya...

Give a vote for the "Duck." He's the one waiting in the wings...

[FrenchieCat]

63. Clark supporters didn't start this poll

But I guess that they are allowed to vote in it, no?

Indiana Green....that's kind of unfair picking, doncha think? Just because there's quite a few of us, doesn't mean we're not doing anything else!

[IndianaGreen]

65. It was an observation, but I will add the following comment...

I believe it is vitally important that we refrain from the bad blood that permeated campaign 2004. Let us recognize that we need a united front in 2006 and in 2008 to challenge the theo-fascists that hold the reign of power. Let us accept the fact that we have two groups of people opposing the Bush regime: the Democratic partisans, and progressive-issues activists. Many of the past fights in DU pitted the former against the latter because of the latter's disdain for political triangulation. Let us work united despite our differences for if we fail in this endeavor, we will also lose our last chance to save the Republic.

Of course, this does not mean that we must be less forceful in advancing our causes and/or candidates, it just mean that we must be more vigilant against those that seek to fracture the grand coalition in 2008.

I promise to do my part...

[kodi]

62. i like Wes Clark, a lot. but my heart is with Al Gore. He's the Man to me.

I believe he knows more about and understands America better at this time in its history than anyone in politics.

He is a good man, a smart man, and one who believes in the things I do.

If Al Gore runs for president, he has my total support, and I intend to go Roosevelt Grier on the ass of anyone who fucks with him.

[MODemocrat]

64. General Clark has the best chance of winning

He does not pussyfoot around for anyone. I've grown to love him. He's very smart, in that he figured out he was in the wrong party and swung over the democratic side. That takes courage.
:thumbsup: :dem:

[KoKo]

66. Looking at these numbers "Anybody but Clark" Wins?

Is that what I'm seeing.. Clark has most votes, but adding up the "others" it ends up Clark loses? :hide:

Meaning many folks here want to wait before they decide?

[CarolNYC]

70. Gee Koko

Obsessed with Clark much? Pretty soon you'll be adding a rotating star or two to your posts. When that happens, there's no turning back. It's only a matter of time until you're fully on the Clark Side... :P

BTW, did you ever read any of the Clark stuff in those links you thanked me for posting some time back?

Thanks!

[AntiCoup2K4]

68. I wonder if the Rubber Duckie candidacy is worrying the DLC yet?

I'll bet there's a "Fuck the Duck" memo on Al From's desk right now ;)

[jillan]

69. Why does the MSM keep saying Hillary??

They are all convinced that she is the one.

Every site I have been on gives her low #s.

Personally, I am still waiting for her to impress me.
Waiting, waiting, waiting.

So why do they keep saying Hillary?

[PresidentObama]

71. Senator Kerry of course

John Kerry!
