3. Right Before an Election

Allll righty thennnnn...

[KingFlorez]

4. David Gergon

WHO??

[OregonBlue]

8. Used to be managing editor? U.S. News and World Report.

Very smart, savvy, influential Republican. It used to be Gergon and Shields on The News Hour (before Brooks or Gigot). He's a really decent sort of guy. Worked for the Clinton Administration for a while. Always thoughtful, insightful and balanced in his approach!

5. How about a Stewart-Colbert ticket?

coming soon

9. Might be a little too "truthy" for Americans to swallow, but otherwise

I say go for it!

6. How can you have 600+ posts

and "no such user profile"?

Anyway, If you want the Republicans to win a third party, non-republican party would be a perfect idea.
Split the non-republican vote just like Nader did.
Not a good plan

12. Never got around to it. Sorry. My mother and aunt were both

president of the Young Democrats in Hood River County in the '50's. One of my aunts was Personal Assistant to Edith Green.

GREEN, Edith Starrett, a Representative from Oregon; born Edith Louise Starrett, January 17, 1910, in Trent, Moody County, S.Dak.; moved with her parents to Oregon in 1916; attended schools in Salem, Oreg., and Willamette University, 1927-1929; was graduated from the University of Oregon, 1939; taught school in Salem, Oreg., 1930-1941; radio work, 1943-1947; director of public relations, Oregon Education Associations; Democratic candidate for secretary of State of Oregon in 1952; delegate, Democratic National Conventions, 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968, and served as chairman of State delegation in 1960 and 1968; United States delegate to Interparliamentary conference in Switzerland in 1958; congressional delegate to NATO conference in London in 1959; delegate, UNESCO General Conference, 1964 and 1966; member, Presidential Commission on Status of Women; elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-fourth and to the nine succeeding Congresses and served from January 3, 1955; until her resignation December 31, 1974; was not a candidate for reelection in 1974 to the Ninety-fourth Congress; professor of government at Warner Pacific College; appointed to Oregon Board of Higher Education in 1979; was a resident of Portland, Oreg. until her death on April 21, 1987.

Not trying to undermine the Dems, but I do believe Spitzer or Cohen would be great candidates.

7. I suppose this is a joke, but on DU the rules state:

no promoting candidates outside of the Democratic Party. :-)

[OregonBlue]

10. Please note, I also agreed to vote for Stewart/Colbert ticket.

[Kurovski]

11. Well, just so long as they run on a Dem ticket.

Edit: I'm sure they'd get plenty of good press from the Corporate Media.

[snowbear]

13. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.....

and HELL NO!!!! :mad:

This is Democratic Underground .. not "3rd party Underground"

And I am a PROUD DEMOCRAT thank you very much!

[OregonBlue]

15. Maybe we could turn Gergon. He hasn't had one good thing to

say about * in years.

[Master Mahon]

14. Christopher Walken 2008

16. HELL NO

I DEMAND you retract that in favor of a better slate ......

[WePurrsevere]

17. How about we make Mr. Spitzer Govenor of NY 1st, give him a bit of time to

straighten out the mess here and then have him run for President but as a real Dem and with a fellow real Dem? B-)
