Poll question: Hypothetical 08 ticket with Gore and Hillary, who would be at the top?
Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 12:28 PM by Skip Intro
Yes, I know 06 is upon us and that is where the real focus should be, but reading about Gore today has me fantasizing about 08, and I had the thought that maybe another Clinton/Gore or Gore/Clinton ticket would be our most advantageous ticket. (It won twice before, and damn, the campaign could be soley about restoring the prosperity and optimism from the Clinton/Gore years...However, Hillary would HAVE to admit attacking Iraq was not merely a "mistake" but a damned crime...)

anyway...in thinking about a new Clinton/Gore, Gore/Clinton ticket, I couldn't figure out who would best be at the top. Which one would draw more voters?

1. Gore won last time, put him at the top of the ticket.

He's also less divisive than Hillary. Actually, I'd choose somebody like Wesley Clark as VP.

2. So you think we could hold the 06 election first?
It is not guaranteed that the Democrats will take control of Congress this fall. We need to do everything we can to get the republicans out of control in this election before we concentrated on 08.

Ask me in November what I think. Until then my only response will be what about 06?

5. We do need to focus...
but it doesn't hurt to speculate into the future (especially since regardless of whether we succeed (overcome vote fraud/disenfranchisement and media bias) this year, we'll still be faced with the question of the Presidential Campaign in 2008.

3. No ticket with Hillary is good for us.
She is a DLC'er and needs to be kept out of the Presidential race. We need to change gubment...not get more of the same.

4. Gore for President with Clark or Feingold... No Hillary...
Gore for President with Clark or Feingold for V.P. (at least as things stand now)... No Hillary please (want to avoid Centrists or DLC Democrats in favor of Democratic/Liberal idealists).

6. your're right. I'm no fan of Hillary. Just had the "Clinton/Gore" thing
stuck in my head.

This is embarrassing.

I want President GORE!

I even suggested to a rw player at our poker game last night, in response to his "McCain/Lieberman" for 08 remark, that a "Gore/Feingold" would win in a landslide.

Agreed, tho - No Hillary.

7. Gore has a chance. But not with Hillary as running mate.

11. Hillary shouldn't be anywhere near the ticket in '08...
I believe she is unelectable.

12. Amen to that!
She should enjoy the next 6 years serving in the US Senate and spare us her polarizing candidacy.

13. If you MUST speculate
about the Democrat '08 ticket, you should simultaneously thinking about who the Republicans will nominate, and how your hypothetical ticket will play then.

Meanwhile, I wish I'd be reading more about how people here are going door to door on behalf of Democratic candidates at all levels, rather than one more stupid, useless poll about an election more than two years away.

The REAL danger is that Democrats are going to be complacent, rather as Republicans were in 1948, and assume we'll win without much effort. Wrong! We need to be out there fighting for every seat possible.

14.  Gore wants to WIN this time around.
Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 05:03 PM by AtomicKitten
I guarantee he will use more care this time in choosing his running mate.

Gore/Obama with General Clark as Secretary of State or Defense for me, please.

However, on edit, Hillary as Attorney General would be a punch in the face to the Republicans, and I'm fully into that.
