9. I agree with you, I guess you're volunteering
Feingold/Kucinich would be my ticket. Good luck in your quest.

2. Why isn't Bill Clinton on the list?
Are you some kind of Hillary basher or sumthin? ;)

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.

We still have a congressional race to win.

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.

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...

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?

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.

That seems, dunno, inappropriate somehow.

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.

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.

Teresa Heinz Kerry, of course.

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

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

I think not to is very demeaning and insulting.

44. Isn't that how it's listed?
I only put their husbands in parentheses because some many not be familiar with their wives.

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.

33. Dr. Dean's wife -- the anti-Laura
...intelligent, substantive and poised. Literally cares for others.

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...

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.

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.
