Hey! Let's draft a ulysses/jiacinto ticket!
Think about it: liberal/moderate, southern/border southern, multicultural since Carlos' background is latino, agnostic/faithful, we'd have to work on the women's vote but it's not undoable...

Yes, I'm being exceedingly silly. We're both too young...:silly:

Y'all, I just don't get the continual "draft _____________" things. It's not as if the Democratic Party isn't fielding a wealth of candidates, no matter where you are on the spectrum. Someone help me out - why do we need to draft anyone who isn't running?

2. Because there's no good candidates out there yet...
No Clintons for sure..

Clinton didn't enter until October 91.. I can't wait to see what happens later this year. I hope someone interesting runs, because these nine are lacking... Put Together they'd make one fine candidate.

9. I'd support....
A jiacinto/ulysses ticket.

You scare me a bit too much! :)


And by the way...You can count me in on the "Draft So-and-so" BASHING Bandwagon. They're almost as pathetic as the 9-11 conspiracy promoters.

Conspiracy...n...

2. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
3. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design.

13. "why.....draft anyone who isn't running"? Maybe because some....
Edited on Wed Jul-09-03 04:29 PM by LiberalLibra
....find a lot lacking in the choices at the moment. Many people want a Dem ticket that can wipe the political floor with Bush & Co. As for me, I just haven't made up my mind about any of them yet. My ideal ticket would be Gore/Edwards, Gore/Dean, Gore/Kerry, or Gore/Clark. So as you can see I am one who would join one of those "let's draft so and so" groups.

on edit: I just think making fun of someone for advocating such a "draft so and so" movement is counter productive. Flame me for such an opinion if you choose but at the same time pick one or two of from the field and tell me how they stack up against Gore. Now, that would be productive.

15. hey, knock yourself out
I just don't get it, though. Nothing against Gore, but the man withdrew from the race. Is it a sense of justice wronged over 2000? That I can at least get.
