How about Obama/Kucinich?!

[dubeskin]

It seems like we have a ticket which not only inspires hope and change, but also that unites the party against the greater evil, not to mention that both champion the common person!

1. I'm going to assume this is just wishful thinking

Besides, has DK even endorsed Obama yet?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

6. He told his supporters to go to him back in Feb. nt

2. That should cover the national security angle.

17. LOL

3. kr

4. The repugs are gonna pick a woman. Trying to get some Hillary supporters.

I'd be happy with Kucinich. I'd be happy with Wes Clark. A woman strong on national defense would kick ultimate ass!

[Swamp Rat]

5. YES!

:kick:

7. Well, they couldn't call Obama "too liberal" anymore.

[harun]

14. LOL, nope, that wouldn't work (n/t)

[4themind]

8. I like him but

I think he'd be happier, and have more influence day to day within congress, or maybe even a run for the senate. He wouldn't be able to draw up resolutions and bills on the issues he cares about while being V.P. His personality is too strong to play "second fiddle" IMO. He needs to have the freedom to speak his mind even if it goes against what obama wants, and to publicly remind and reprimand those who stray within the progressive spectrum.

9. Hell, why not Kucinich/Obama?

I hear the delegates can still change their minds... :evilgrin:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

10. Yes, that's a great idea.

Let's pair Obama with someone who makes Nader look like FDR. Maybe one of the Berkeley tree sitters will be available.

[progressoid]

11. .

:)

[BigDDem]

12. .

:rofl:

[MonkeyFunk]

13. No thanks

I'd rather win.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

15. What? You don't see the brilliance...

...of running on a platform of impeaching the man you will be replacing? It's genius! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[Phillycat]

16. Oh, good lord, no.

Someone who brings something to the ticket, please!

[MaineDem]

18. I'd have a hard time supporting that ticket

I can't imagine Obama even considering DK as a running mate.

[MercutioATC]

19. Oh, FUCK. NO.

Kucinich may be the "champion of the common person" here at DU, but he's a crazed elf to the majority of the U.S.

[Freddie Stubbs]

20. Kucinich hasn't even endorsed Obama yet

Kucinich and Gravel are the only former Democratic candidates who have yet to endorse Obama. Gravel left the party and tried to get the Libertarian nomination.

What is Kucinich waiting for?
