Don't say "anybody but Hillary" unless you'd be happy with Andrew Cuomo or Rahm Emanuel.

[Nye Bevan]

Just saying.

[JaneyVee]

1. Clinton/O'Malley

That's my realistic 2016 prediction.

Fantasy picks would be: Warren/Sanders or Trumka/Krugman.

[Oklahoma_Liberal]

2. Anybody but Hillary.

[Thinkingabout]

3. Put up a candidate who is qualilfied, not one who says ten words and you fall in love with them.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. I wouldn't be happy with any of those 3 or vote for them.

[NYC_SKP]

5. Anybody But Hillary. This dynastic inevitability rob-us-of-choice bullshit has to fucking end.

Listen.

The very fact that she is basking in the attention and fucking around with whether or not to run disqualifies her, to me.

If she cared about us she might find a way to send a message about supporting choice, looking forward to the process.

Would Cuomo or Rahm be worse than Hill?

I don't think so, they all suck.

[geek tragedy]

6. Cuomo is much, much worse.

Ask New York Democrats.

[TheKentuckian]

10. They might be worse and seem mortal locks to be no better.

Getting Cuomo or Rahm would be the most silly wastes of effort ever.

I got zero energy for fighting to get a fresher Turd Way name, if it isn't about flushing the Turd Way than deal me out of the baby games and personality disputes because those are some of the traps that funneled us into this very pass in the first place.

[99Forever]

7. Nice bucket...

.. of fail you've got there.

Although the odor is stifling.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

8. On a list of 14 possibles someone put up a few weeks back,

there were 4 of the 14 I wouldn't vote for, 10 I would happily vote for.

[TheKentuckian]

9. Agreed! It is about flushing the Turd Way not just any particular floater.

[Scuba]

11. This is the most eloquent post I've read on DU all day. Perfection.

[LWolf]

12. Anybody but a neoliberal. nt

[HereSince1628]

13. BUt, but, Rahm hasn't been building the war chest! He CAN'T win!!!!!!

Too late, by his own Rahmwellian standards!

[Dragonfli]

14. That's why I go with "Ready for Someone else" not just anybody will do

I want somebody that will fight for me and the other 90% of below middle class working people. I would actually love it if ANY of them stopped talking only about the "middle class" (which means those making a coupe hundred thousand a year to people in DC that use that term) and of course those above that class whom they really appear to like and admire, people like Jaimie Dimon and Larry Summers.

Those of us that make under 40 grand or thirty grand or 20 grand are completely invisible to most politicians that no longer even appear to acknowledge our existence.

I remember when Dems talked about and worked for the working people and the little guys like me, I am not even visible to Hillary or any of the Republicans so yes,

I am ready for someone else besides Clinton, but not just anybody else, and certainly not another wall street groupie.

[foo_bar]

15. hell, Rahm is just Hillary writ large

He can "get things done" (never mind on whose behalf, the important thing is he's a great thing-doer!)

"No one I know is better at getting things done than Rahm Emanuel,” Obama said in a statement announcing the appointment.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/06/obama-names-emanuel-chief-of-staff/

"But Hillary Clinton showed in the Senate how she can work across the aisle, how she can negotiate. She can stand up and stand strong for what she believes in. But she knows how to get things done.”
