David Puddy Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Evan Bayh (D-IN). I'm going against my instinct choosing a legislator here (at least he was a governor), but this is the guy I think has the best chance taking back some of those red states. Why? He's a midwesterner, has a history of supporting agriculture, sits on both the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, and is the main legislator pushing through fatherhood legislation. He'd be a much better candidate than Kerry or Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, just about ANYONE would be better than HILLARY at this point. I heard some Dem celebrities and politicians on TV saying that they need to get MORE progressive and even MORE to the left, to win over voters. Are they on crack?? They believe that playing the middle backfired. I hate to tell them this, but if they really think this, they deserve to lose in 2008! Assclowns! There's NO way in hell they will win ANY red states if they trot out some ultra liberal candidate that alienates those independents or moderates in the South.

FunkyBlueFish203 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'm going to betray the sisterhood and say Hillary Clinton should not run for President. John Kerry couldn't turn red to blue, a female senator from NY certainly isn't going to aid the cause. I think Edwards could run in 2008, but he doesn't have enough experience and that was brought up when he ran for VP with Kerry this year. He's a one-term senator and his history as a trial lawyer turns off some people. Richardson could be it, and perhaps Salazar and/or Obama a few terms later.

Jimmy Leeds Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Edwards will be out of politics for 4 years by 2008.......he' s kaput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoDevils Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 A think a Dem ticket of Gephardt-Liberman would've won in 2004, but Kerry somehow walked away from the Primary as a winner. 2008 be different, or will Hillary's possible toss into the Presidential ring cause a fracture in the DNC?

Zamode Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Edwards was a phony twit. Wench Woman wouldn't get far at all so I don't think her running or not is even an issue. I never got the final say, did Daschle lose? (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
