Poll question: If the ticket is Clark-Edwards, who will win?

If the ticket is Clark-Edwards, who will win?

1. No doubt about it... Clark-Edwards!

[chimpymustgo]

2. That would be such a cool, exciting, absolutely fabulous ticket.

With serious coattails.

[JohnLocke]

3. We would.

That would be fantastic - we could take the south and the north!

[Bombtrack]

4. I think it would work better for 2008

after 4 years of Edwards being attourney general and instituting his justice department reforms (see his issues page).

Also electorally. In 04, our truely realistic southern states that we could win are FL, AR, and LA. By 08, GA, NC, VA, and TN would probably be more competative for dems (w/ a successful administration) because of the job growth, bussiness boom in the NC, atlanta, and Nashville metros, and in Northern and coastal VA

14. Of course it is a winning ticket any of the Dems can beat Bush!

I am a Dean person but a Clark Edwards ticket is a good one.

[Bombtrack]

26. no, Braun or Kucinich or Sharpton couldn't

sorry they just couldn't.

[kanrok]

5. Either way we win

Clark-Edwards or Edwards-Clark. Great ticket. Love to see it.

[mlawson]

6. I suspect THAT is the ticket that KKKRove fears the most!!

Now, as to whether we get that ticket, I dunno. I fear the DNC/DLC power brokers have far different ideas (which do not include Dean, either).

[Kathleen04]

7. Clark/Edwards

Love that ticket. :loveya:

[arewethereyet]

8. two points

Edwards isnt interested in THAT job.
I don't believe General Clark can win.

Obviously opinion.

[JVS]

9. Greens jump 5% hurdle.

[mot78]

10. Don't think he needs Edwards

Edwards supported the war while Clark opposed it.

[arewethereyet]

11. nah, I saw him on TV all for it !

Oh yeah and then he changed his mind.

Wonder which it is now ?

[JVS]

12. This isn't about issues like the war.

This is about pandering to the South.

[Clark Can WIN]

18. Pandering

............ Oh, you mean RECLAIMING the south. That enormous block of solid red. The region Gore surrendered.

[JVS]

24. This reminds me of the dog who dropped his bone trying to get the...

bone of the dog reflected in a puddle of water.

One of these days you are going to lose Michigan or Pennsylvania with this constant obsession on the South. It won't be pretty.

And yes it is pandering, because it has nothing to do with the politics of the candidates. It is purely a geographical gesture.

[Clark Can WIN]

13. Clark Edwards could really

Rock the south.

[IndianaGreen]

15. We are not running for the Confederacy here!

With all due respect to our Southern friends, an all-Southerner ticket won't fly North of the Mason-Dixon line.

Our Southern friends would squawk if we presented them with an all-Yankee ticket.

[Torgo4]

16. IndianaGreen...Sorry Fellow Hoosier But...!

Let's see:

Clinton: Arkansas
Gore: Tennesee

Worked for 8 years!

[Clark Can WIN]

17. Good point!

I like a Clark/Edwards ticket. They are both amicable and articulate people who come accross very well in person and on television. I believe it could really work well for us.

[IndianaGreen]

20. Gore, Georgetown!

Al Gore lived most of his life in Washington, DC area, first as the son of the Senator Albert Gore, and then as a Senator himself.

[Bombtrack]

27. so what's your point? We can nominate southernors as long as they

aren't working class?

The Gores are Tennessee political royalty, or at least the closest thing to it. His father is an idol there.

[arewethereyet]

23. you mean like Clinton/Gore ? twice ?

but sadly, General Clark lost his accent and is no longer southern so ... nevermind

[stickdog]

19. The military industrial complex.

[BobbyJay]

21. Your conspiracy theories are blasse

It's so 2 months ago.

[windansea]

22. so 2003 n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

25. You forgot- "I can't tell because of the medication"

Because for sure I'd be hospitalized for monkeys flying out of my butt

[sleipnir]

28. It's a winning combo punch

No doubt, they do have what it takes. Would I vote for them, hell yes! Not my ideal choice of candidates, but I'd welcome them with open arms.
