"Fantasy Election" - who's your candidate?

[radfringe]

We've been bashing the array of candidates... so let's take a breather from the flames/fistfights and indulge ourselves in a fantasy election.

Who's your candidate?
rules:

1. Candidate can't be one of the current group

2. Candidate may be someone from the past or present (but not currently running for President or Vice-President)

3. Candidate may be a real person or a fictional person

4. Constitutional laws regarding who is eligible to run are suspended, so this means people who are not of age or not US citizen are eligible for this fantasy election.

5. You may name more than one person and if desired include a running mate.

1. John Kleeb, P, and Sean Reynolds, VP.

:hi:

Who's your choice, radfringe?

On edit: My "real" people would've been Paul Wellstone for President and Sheila Wellstone for VP. :cry:

[radfringe]

3. Minnesota heh?

My folks moved out there about 4 years ago - they live in Plymouth, just outside of Minneapolis...

they moved from Massachusetts - I've often told them that they are the only people that I know that have "retired" to a colder climate...

:D

My partner and I will be heading out there in September '04 for my folks 50th wedding anniversary

[Blade]

5. LOL...

I know where Plymouth is. I used to live in the Twin Cities 10 years ago for 12 years, til we moved to the sticks of West-Central MN. :(

Yeah, my parents are "retired" and still live here. When I retire someday, I'm getting out of here and moving somewhere warm!

50th wedding anniversary, eh? Congrats to them! My mom and dad will be celebrating their 23rd in April.

Nice meeting you, radfringe! :hi:

4. I was going to suggest Paul Wellstone, too.

But why install his wife as Vice President, when she could be a First Lady/co-president, leaving the Vice Presidency open for a third dynamo?

And I can't help but wonder how Paul Wellstone and Vice President John McCain would get along. I mean, would that throw Republicans for a loop or WHAT?

[Blade]

6. Eh..

good point. It's 4:30 am here and I haven't slept well at all for over 48 hrs.

Maybe Wellstone's VP could've been Mike Malloy. Imagine that ticket?

[radfringe]

10. Nice meeting you too!

my whole family is out there now - they keep trying to get me to move there, but I don't like the city life

am in a tiny town in PA now, (massachusetts transplant) - give me the mountains and cows anytime B-)

[JohnKleeb]

21. wouldnt it make more sense to make me the junior partner

being Reynolds has like 4 years on me I think, but lol.

[radfringe]

2. My pick

first one that comes to mind is Jeb Bartlet (West Wing)

of "real people" - Al Gore and Hillary Clinton....

[ErasureAcer]

7. Jean Luc Picard

for President.

[silverweb]

8. DEAN!

N/t.

[radfringe]

11. unless Dean has dropped out

he's not eligible for this FANTASY election...

[Crunchy Frog]

9. My choice?

Aragorn son of Arathorn (book version), also possibly King Arthur.

[moof]

12. Noam Chomski & Bill Moyers as VP or co pres.

n/t

[mrbill]

13. lisa simpson.

wonder how Barry Goldwater would do in an election in these times?

[ldoolin]

18. The Rethugs

Today's Rethugs think Barry Goldwater is too far to the left. They'd campaign against him and call him a RINO.

[thom1102]

19. too far left for the american electorate.

[Seldona]

14. My choices.

Cheech and Chong.

Well it is a fantasy poll! ;-)

And good to be here. I am a longtime veteran of the Yahoo News message boards.

winston_89_2000 is my tag.

Hello all.

[thom1102]

20. Welcome

:hi:

[Cheswick2.0]

15. Al Gore /Tom Harkin

that's it!

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Adlai Stevenson, Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jeanette Rankin

and Shirley Chisholm. Any combo with no particular choice of ranking of president and running mate.

[ldoolin]

17. Feingold/Unsoeld

Russ Feingold for President
Jolene Unsoeld (former U.S. Congresswoman) for V.P.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

22. The late great Sen. Paul Simon

who was eulogized on the floor of the Senate by people from both sides of the aisle as a decent and honest man. He was also extremely intelligent and would have directed the country in a far better way than Bush or his father.

[terrya]

23. President Gore Vidal. Vice President Susan Sarandon. eom

[JohnKleeb]

24. Franklin D Roosevelt- Robert F Kennedy

Best damn ticket :D
and they can have DK for secretary of labor.
