The last man standing
 

Since the primary season is in full swing, who do you think will be the Democrats choice for running for president? Who do you think will be his running mate?

Kerry will win by the looks of it and if he can get Edwards he will so he can try to win over the south.

To answer the question posed in the thread title:

GEORGE DUBYA BUSH! :D

I'm guessing at this point it could be Kerry or Dean. You never know though the way this race has been going.

Where is the a question or question mark in the thread title?

But if you want to mention George Bush as a deomocrat presidental canidate more power to you.

Dean's shooting himself in the foot - he's conceded that he will probably lose all of the primaries today, but has said he will still run...although the Democratic National Committee Chairman has said that anyone who hasn't won a primary after today should seriously consider stepping out. Dean has also already spent most of his money on hand; he went for broke in N.H. and Iowa and didn't leave much for the rest of the campaign.

I think it's going to be Kerry...he's getting more endorsements and more money every day.

Probably going to be Kerry but I am still gunning for Clark. ALSO where the Hell is everybody in Wisconsin except for Dean and Clark? We're having a freaking debate in less than two weeks and there's no visibility for other candidates.

We were discussing this the other day at the office:

If Dean loses the Democratic Primaries (which appears likely), do you think he'll run as an Independent?


I think Kerry is going to win the nomination.

No. It would probably be political suicide for any of the remaining candidates to run as independents. It would draw votes away from the party nominee and would help Bush. I hope all the Democratic candidates that lose in the primary run as independents.

Dean has said he will not run as an independent if he loses the primaries; like madmax said, it would be political suicide if he did so (although some may say he's in the process of committing it right now).

i think some of the candidates are going to start showing up more in Wisconsin, but this group of primaries is so crucial that they've committed themselves to them.

I can totally understand that - but starting tomorrow, I want some more appearance here. We're actually a fairly good microchasm - we've got everything here. I'm just frustrated about being ignored by so many of the candidates - if I wasn't voting for Clark I don't know who I would vote for because we've gotten so little attention from them.

What are everyone's thoughts on Kerry/Edwards ticket?

My roommate and I are all in favor of this option. Too bad NJ's primary is so late that it never matters anyway.

It looks like Kerry is going to get the nomination. Who will be his running mate remains to be seen.

Leiberman was extremely gracious in defeat; he really is a true party man, and although I don't support him politically I respect him for that.

The fact that Dean continues to run shows that he is in fact not a party man. He lost badly in all of the primaries, finishing behind Al Sharpton in South Carolina. There's no way he should still be in the race; it's still early, but his results have been awful.

Although, I would have loved to see Edwards as the presidential frontrunner...I think that the Kerry/Edwards ticket sounds good to me. This will give Edwards some much needed experience.

I think the Joe was pretty cool about the defeat as well.

I think the Kerry/Edwards ticket would be a good one.


I'm voting Democrat all the way in November, though; I don't care who's on the ticket. No more W!

I was thinking the same thing. Anytime Sharpton beats a candidate, he should automatiacally be forced to drop out of the race. Maybe its just because I'm from the NYC Metro area and grew up seeing his face plastered everytime Sharpton wanted attention; or maybe its because Sharpton called my brother, an NYPD officer, a racist when he arrested both a white and black guy for starting a fight; or maybe I just don't like Sharpton's hair, but I have absolutly no respect for this man. Whatever cause he once had, it has been clouded by his attempts for media attention.

I agree that Liberman's drop out was in good judgement, and he did it well.

Wow the gallop poll they showed on the nbc news had Kerry defeating Bush if the election was held today. I guess this Kay and Tenet stuff if really hurting him. They said Bush is going to start campaigning against the democrats earlier than he planned now. I hope Kerry's popularity now carrys over til election day.

The Shrub - ahem, our Commander-in-Chief - better start doing some serious damage control, lest it bite him hard in the ass come Election Day!

That would be something... Shrub pruned by a fellow Bonesman (conspiracy theories notwithstanding...) :)

oh, ivory.....i still have my john edwards sticker you gave me!!! LOL.....i was expecting him to be the frontrunner, too.....don't really know why. after hearing ivory talk about him, he seemed like a good democratic (and presidential) candidate. i was surprised that kerry was doing so well initially. i kind of still am, but whatevs. if i was kerry, i would pick edwards over clark....i know just by joining forces right now doesn't automatically mean it'll be a kerry/clark ticket, but still. that's my republican un-biased opinion. he'd do better with edwards.

i still see bush as the last man standing (gotta represent my dubya lovin' booty) ;), but as far as dem candidates, for now it does look very kerry. i'm confused about this clark guy, though. a lot of the candidates were saying he was more republican than democrat (this was stated while i was watching the NH debates), so this new alliance or whatever with kerry is odd to me. i think he's just doing it so he doesn't get kicked off the presidential island.

we'll see. i'm excited about this election year!

Clark removed himself from your presidential island. I want him to be VP BAD. I don't like Edwards much.

nono, i know that. just saying i think he jumped on kerry's side to stay in the vicinity of the presidential island.

make sense? or do i ramble? medications are slowly taking over, so i wouldn't doubt it. :cool:

I think if Edwards stays involved, he will be a good future candidate. He simply doesn't have experience and was portrayed too much as an ambulance chaser lawyer. One term as an elected official wasn't enough for him to overcome better known names. I'd still love to see him as a VP though. Or, if there ends up being any truth to the information posted in the Kerry thread, he could still be in the running.
