Poll question: If DK Doesn't Win, Where Would Be The Best Place For Him?

1. Speaker of the House.

Or head of the Department of Peace.

2. Speaker of the House

Agree completely.

Let's see what kind of legislation makes it to the floor under his leadership. :evilgrin:

3. Exactly.

I think progressives should make this goal real.

10. But don't we need a majority of seats for that?

I guess it'll take some time. But I agree that it should be the next focus for the dems - winning back the house. And that's where the disenfranchised folks could channel their energy right now - for this election - then everybody wins. I think Dean agrees with me.

I picked SOS for Dennis, tho.

[Renew Deal]

4. He should run for senate.

I think he could win and it's more power than a house seat.

5. I agree. I would support Kucinich if he runs for the Senate in 2006 (nt)

6. Do you think his performance in OH tomorrow...

affects his viability to win a senate seat?

How well does he have to do in his home state?

[Renew Deal]

9. It does not affect.

They are different races with different implications. He is a perfect fit for a senator, but a terrible fit for president (I don't mean this in a bad way).

7. keep his congressional seat for now

run for senate next time he can..

[MaggieSwanson]

8. My house!

:loveya:

[redqueen]

13. hehehe

Back off I saw 'im first!

:)

11. I think Dennis needs one more step up the ladder

As things stand currently, I don't think realistically Dennis can get elected Speaker of the House. If he "can't even" finish a close second in his home state of Ohio in the primary, he won't be taken seriously for a National leadership post in the Party yet.

Either the Senate or Governor would be a career and influence move up, showing his ability to win outside of his home Congressional district. He can keep building from there or choose to go the Jessie Jackson route of being an influential party activist. But as things stand, the Speakership is out of reach for now methinks.

Hopefully they'll retain him for longer than two weeks.
