IMPORTANT!!!! WHO is NOT running for President?

[Horse with no Name]

Geesh...Chris Dodd?
Vilsack?
Hillary?
Edwards?
Obama?
Biden?
etc etc etc

Ought to make the primaries "interesting".
Undoubtedly the big names will split the vote and we will get stuck with someone really stupid who can't poor piss out of a boot.
I agree with Bill Maher. There should be a test for those wishing to run for President.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

1. Ron Jeremy

[BuyingThyme]

4. I have not heard him say that.

Do you have a link?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. I do - but it's not work friendly

:D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. I hear he wants Tammy Fay as his VP

To balance out the ticket.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. As long as they don't want Robert Van Winkle to be Defence Secretary

That wouldn't be cool

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. I'm not

but it looks like a great way to make a bunch of money.

[crispini]

3. Me.

I'm not running. :hi:

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Neither Russ Feingold nor

me. The world is worse off in the first case, and better off in the second.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Russ should run, even if he doesn't want to be president.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

6. Which Is Why We Need Al Gore! nt

[tblue]

7. Clark, so far

[RubyDuby in GA]

9. I'm not, but only because I'm not old enough

You can count on me for 2012 though!

11. I've ofter thought that there should be some

bare minimum for being eligible to run for presdident over and above being a US citizen and over 35 years of age. I mean some kind of achievement and experience in public affairs or public service. I would think that to be considered for the most important job in the world (or at least most powerful) you would need to have to demonstrate a great deal of ability and achievement. Having said this, some of the "best" Presidents we've had have been some of the shortest on public experience, for example Abraham Lincoln with only one term in the House of Representatives, or Woodrow Wilson with only two years as a governor of a small state. But then both of these Presidents involved the country in long and bloody wars, for better or for worse.

14. How about an IQ test also?

I bet **** would have failed. No way GHWB and the rest of the cabal can buy a higher IQ.

[Captain Hilts]

12. We have some good choices. I'm enjoying it. Add Clark and Richardson. nt

[LSparkle]

16. The REAL President: Albert Gore, Jr.!

Come on, Al, PUH-LEEZE throw your hat in the ring and give us a real chance in '08!

[Horse with no Name]

17. That's how I feel

:loveya:

[Mabus]

19. Not until after his book comes out in May

That's when "An Assault on Reason" comes out. Hopefully, he will have already trained 1,000 people to do the AIT presentations by then so he concentrate on saving the world as US President.

[JNelson6563]

22. Hear, hear!!

:toast:

[Mabus]

18. Pat Paulsen

Although if he were still around I'm sure he would throw his hat into the ring.

[PsN2Wind]

23. I'm feeling out MsPs

on the idea. If I should you can bet I'll use Pat Paulsen's slogan.

"I've upped my standards, so up yours"

[NewJeffCT]

20. I am announcing today that I am not a candidate

for the president of the united states.

Granted, i could do a better job than the current white house occupant - but who on DU couldn't?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

21. Bayh, Dashle, Dean, Feingold, Gore, Warner are probably the "out" names

about whom there had previously been the most speculation (with a slight questionmark over Gore).

Plus, of course, lots of other people who were never considered.
