Out of the nine, which would you prefer as the First Lady?

Poll question: Out of the nine, which would you prefer as the First Lady?

Teresa Heinz Kerry gets my vote. :thumbsup:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. Me

Russ Feingold's wife.

hubba hubba!

:loveya:

[kliljedahl]

9. I agree with you, I guess you're volunteering

Feingold/Kucinich would be my ticket. Good luck in your quest.

16. Estranged, I thought. (On edit: Oh. I get it.)

:shrug:

[Nutmegger]

34. That what I thought. . . . . . . .

Thanks for the linky.

[havocmom]

2. Why isn't Bill Clinton on the list?

Are you some kind of Hillary basher or sumthin? ;)

[Nutmegger]

5. LOL

I tried to list those from previous primary runs. No secret message implied!

[havocmom]

11. just the same, best be puttin on some fire retardant treated jammies!

Some people get huffy to the point of hallucinating offense at their favorite political diva.

[Warpy]

3. Considering what a rotten unpaid job the First Lady has

I'd feel hard pressed to inflict it on any of the above. No matter what she wears, how she combs her hair, whether she's an activist or a homebody, people will excoriate her mercilessly for it.

In fact, the only one I'd really want to stick with such a lousy job is some shrieking harpy on the right. I just wouldn't want to pay the price of having another dreary GOP administration to stick her with it.

[gordianot]

4. I hereby vow.

Not to endorse any candidate for President (of either sex) on the merits of their spouse.

[liberal N proud]

6. Why are we talking about the presidential race?

We still have a congressional race to win.

[Why Syzygy]

8. And governors

I don't see any harm in the presidential angle. It keeps us fired up. We'll get the congress. The pugs are their own worst enemy. Just stand back and watch them implode. You cannot have an inbalance in power forever. It is against the laws of physics. But good point.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. I really like Teresa Heinz Kerry.

I'm not so much a fan of her husband, but since you're asking strictly about First Ladies...

12. Where's Gert Clark?

She was fabulous on the campaign trail.

[Nutmegger]

18. I will add her - she was good IMHO. [nt]

[Jane Austin]

28. Thanks. n/t

[Union Thug]

13. Teresa! Hell,not first lady; make that woman president...

she is soooo much more ballsy than her husband...She was the best thing to come out of the Kerry campaign.

[valerief]

27. I concur

[TahitiNut]

14. Elizabeth Harper

:shrug:

[rman]

15. You mean you haven't seen Kucinich's wife?

http://www.wkyc.com/galleries/galleries_fullstory.asp?id=39648

[TahitiNut]

17. Yep. That's Elizabeth Harper.

:woohoo:

[benny05]

20. Good for Dennis

To me, his bride sort of looks like Julianne Moore. Any links to how these two hooked up since he was the most eligible bachelor/politician in 2004?

[timtom]

21. Ask and ye shall receive...

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1030-04.htm

Great story! He deserves the very best.

[MasonJar]

19. That was a really tough one, but Thereas Kerry is one fine woman

and has fought injustice for so many years. Elizabeth Edwards should be President. Tipper is pretty sharp also.

[Bucky]

22. Um, do you mean to replace Laura as the current president's wife?

That seems, dunno, inappropriate somehow.

[Nutmegger]

23. There's is nothing deep about this poll

Just straight up, who would you prefer as the First Lady. No secret messages, no motives, just a simple poll.

[MelissaB]

24. I can't vote in this one.

I only know about the first three,and I'd take any of them. I love them all.

[phillysuse]

25. Bill Clinton would make a GREAT FIRST LADY!

Unfortunately I don't support Hillary for President.

Second choice would be Gert Clark - we've never had a First Lady with a Brooklyn accent.

[valerief]

26. C'mon. No one beats the Contessa as a First Lady.

Teresa Heinz Kerry, of course.

[Cocoa]

29. No first lady

Russ Feingold for president!

[MrSlayer]

30. Gert but only because it would mean Wes is President.

I really couldn't care less about the first lady, it's a non-factor.

[Booster]

31. Although Tipper would also be great, no one could beat Elizabeth.

[RB TexLa]

32. I'd prefer we refer to the President's spouse by their name

I think not to is very demeaning and insulting.

[Nutmegger]

44. Isn't that how it's listed?

I only put their husbands in parentheses because some many not be familiar with their wives.

[RB TexLa]

47. I mean the "first lady" part, it's insulting and degrading to refer to

someone as such when you know what their actual name is. It's kind of like how a dog can't tell you what they want to be called so we give them names, humans are able to tell you what their names are.

[TNMOM]

33. Dr. Dean's wife -- the anti-Laura

...intelligent, substantive and poised. Literally cares for others.

[-..__...]

35. Other - Monica Lewinsky.

There's something about a woman who knows how to enjoy a good cigar. :smoke:

[Katherine Brengle]

36. I voted "other" b/c there are no men on the list. That trend needs to end

Not necessarily with a Clinton presidency, but something's gotta give...

[oasis]

37. Elizabth Edwards, Tipper and Gert. My favorite people.

[Dorian Gray]

38. I'd like a First Man

in the White House. How about Bill Clinton? :)

[Nutmegger]

42. I agree

There are some great women out there who should be given a chance. This thread was just meant to gage how DUers felt these ladies at First Lady.

[Dorian Gray]

48. I know.

I didn't mean that as a criticism to the Original post. Just stating my ideals! It's time for a woman to be president. :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. Elizabeth Edwards is who I voted for, but Teresa Heinz Kerry would ROCK

too!:thumbsup:

[Redstone]

40. Salma Hayek.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

41. Elizabeth Edwards

I voted for her hubby in the Primary. Reading this thread actually pained me, guess I'm not totally over it. I really wanted Edwards for President.
Hope Gore runs in 2008.

[Melissa G]

43. Elizabeth Edwards Rocks!!! n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

45. Tipper...

I want Al to run, and I like Tipper too. (But the first part is the most important)

[NNN0LHI]

46. Other - No preference whatsoever. They are all great ladies n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

49. I'd rather see Mr. Boxer, or Mr. Murray, as first Gentleman.
