Poll question: Prez Ticket: Kennedy/Pelosi (or Pelosi/Kennedy)?
Seems to me that Ted Kennedy has been one of the few unwavering voices in Congress for Democratic values over the past decade, and he's still got a helluva lot of spark in him. Pelosi seems to be out there fighting the good fight as well - principled, fair, but tough.

These two seem like a refreshing break from the usual suspects - whaddya' think?

1. Neither.
We need BOTH to help keep the Senate and House SANE.

I don't want another GOP take over. Kennedy and Pelosi should do the people's work in the Congress.

2. Ted is
way too old and way too contraversial. That horse lost in 1980. He serves better in Congress.

5. Appreciate the sentiment but both are where they WANT to be, doing what they LOVE to do.
I do look to people like Teddy and Gary Hart for great input on serious government policy issues.

7. I think the last thing Ted Kennedy wants is to run for president
And Nancy Pelosi has never expressed an interest in it either. She has the position she wants.

8. No Freaking Way
Come on, Kennedy? The guy is too old and has way too many skeletons. He would be the R-wing equivalent of Bob Dole. You know -- the pity candidate being rewarded for years of service.

9. You can bet that Kennedy would not want to deal with the bullsh*t
He knows better than to have to deal with the mainstream media and what would be an atrocious revisiting of that infamous accident at Chappaquiddick on July 19, 1969...
