Who would you like to see run that we're not already talking about?

[Renew Deal]

Someone mentioned Spitzer earlier and it got me thinking about who else is out there. Obviously we're all talking about Biden, Clinton, Sanders, Warren, O'Malley, and Webb. But who is out there that we aren't thinking about? Someone that came to mind for me was Russ Feingold. I have to wonder if he would run if he was still in the Senate.

Other names I've seen in the past are Kristen Gillibrand, Sherrod Brown, and Mark Warner.

1. Keep thinking.

Sherrod Brown said tonight, on Rachel Show, NO, and his wife also in the studio at the time, said she'd Veto such a move! Rachel discussed several names she's mentioned in the past.

[Renew Deal]

3. Didn't see it

But I'm not surprised. It would have been big news if he was interested.

Who did she mention?

[elleng]

7. Trying to recall; not total recall.

Klobuchar, I think has said/suggested 'No,' McCaskill has NOT declined.

[brooklynite]

2. I have personal contact with Brown's people -- he doesn't want to run

[sabrina 1]

4. Sherrod Brown would be a good candidate. Spitzer should be AG.

5. Barney Frank and/or Sheldon Whitehouse nt

[Renew Deal]

6. Barney Frank would be interesting, but he's 74

He would have been interesting in 2008.

[First Speaker]

8. Dick Blumenthal of CT...

... a really good man. Have had some contacts with him over the years, and he's damned sharp, and really takes constituent problems seriously...and was a ferocious consumer advocate when Attorney general. He'd make a great president...

[Agnosticsherbet]

9. Al Franken or Jon Stewart

[JayhawkSD]

10. Sam Nunn

I would not only vote for him, I would campaign for him. He's a bit on the elderly side, but...

12. Why is it always WHO and not WHAT?

Is there a problem with the idea that someone ("someone&quot with IDEAS as opposed to name recognition steps up?

IMO, we kill ourselves by demanding WHO as opposed to WHAT because it presumes that they have "star appeal".

It is putting the cart before the horse.

We should focus on what we want re issues and stances. When the will of the Left Wing is made clear, only then can we get a candidate that represents those positions.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. Gotta sell that candidate. Easier to sell a "who" than a "what" in the US.

[Art_from_Ark]

15. We need a "who" who also has the "what"

A Bobby Kennedy type. I know, I know, I'm just wishing for a rainbow-farting unicorn :sigh:

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Julian Castro for top of the ticket!

[ND-Dem]

16. Franklin Roosevelt.

[AtomicKitten]

17. JFK, Jr.

What might have been. Sigh.

[DeSwiss]

18. Nobody......

- Nobody is truly the one I can support because, you can always trust Nobody to do what's needed.

[madokie]

19. Sherrod Brown

By far my fav

[aspirant]

20. How about

one of the Ben and Jerry ice cream guys

Amy Goodman

Randi Rhodes, I would pay to see that HRC debate
