Poll question: What if the 2008 tickets looked like this.......who would America choose?

I realize this is a huge leap into fantasy land. Or is it?

After yesterday & today's events, it could become a reality.
Only corporate Amurika would be upset & shocked.

Anyway, just a "what if" scenario. Who would America choose?

2. I'd hope they'd support the Ohio Congressman, who is a dutiful and

exceptional citizen and public servant, as opposed to the racist right-wing kook Ron Paul.

4. I honestly don't know

But it would be a wonderful choice for America to have.

A principled liberal vs a principled conservative.

5. The Two Candidates who promise a real change.......

Two good men.

Only one vote....

Tough one.

Too bad the "nomenclature" will keep our choice much more simple.

6. Kucinich needs to get out of 2% land if that is going to happen

For an outsider, Ron Paul has raised big money and polls decently. Dennis, not so much.

8. There Were More (A Lot More) Ron Paul Signs than Kucinich Signs at the Recent Antiwar Protest.

10. LOL!

:rofl:

Polar opposites!

However, the Kucinich/Paul ticket could be interesting.

The Hoyer/Cheney ticket would be pure hell! (pun intended)

11. I'm pretty sure "Corporate Amurika" would love the ever-living

fuck out of a President Ron Paul. Why would they dislike a President who promises to destroy government regulatory power and cut almost all taxes?

12. That said, I have no idea who would win.

Both are candidates who (if polls are at all to be believed) are at the moment extremely unpopular with most Americans. I would say the winner would probably be Mike Bloomberg in that case.

16. I see freepers or what ever you call those supporting Ron Paul inflitrating here

I can't believe a third of DU would chose Ron Paul over Dennis?

"Colbert Did you shrink that constitution down your self?" Kucinich " No, No, No George Bush already did that!"
Got Fascism Yet?

Fascism Accomplished!

22. Any who would liken supporters of Ron Paul to "freepers" is as deluded as a "dittohead"

19. Ron Paul

just pulled in record numbers for dollars raised in a day. Right behind HRC and Obama. I can't underestimate him because he makes it easier for those who want to end the war to vote republican. The only one who could stand up to Paul would be DK because there is no way in hell the dems are going to win with a warhawk running against an anti-war opponent. I just can't see that happening.
