1. God willing, the next President....

of the United States. He is the ONLY one so far to take the fight directly to Bush. How is it that Democrats don't seem to notice? There is no one better prepared intellectually, philosophically, and geographically to take on the BFEE than Bob Graham-NO ONE!. I can't understand how so many in the Democratic party overlook the obvious.

I'm not talking to you Greens; we all know where you stand. To you, Graham's a vicious, corporate-whore, war-monger...yada yada yada. I'm talking real Democrats who should be trying to find someone who can actually beat George Bush. That is our goal right?

2. You want Bush Gone Graham-Clark or vice versa in 04

As long as we cede National Defense we are a lost cost. If we pull the issue from them the post Vietnam era of "conservativism" is dead.

3. As a Floridian for nearly thirty years, I can attest that Bob Graham

is one of the great ones to come out of this state. He's right up there with Lawton Chiles. He's got my vote and my husband's vote.

4. How about...

Kerry/Graham w/ Wes. Clark getting a high cabinet position? I really like the sound of that.

5. Any combination of those three is a sure fire winner

Kerry, Clark, Graham
The Trifecta

I would say that is the real man's ticket.

Bush and Cheney is the male cheerleader's ticket.

6. You know I would not mind if Kerry or Dean, being on the ticket

if they could pull a few senate seats in the northeast for the Dems . Do you think they could this. These moderates like Snowe and Specter- need a firm challange. I know my Graham - Clark quasi endorsement sounds geographically prejudice. Its not just the south what about the mid-west, we need states outside New England and the far west, and that is if California will still be in play.

7. Graham

I agree with you, Rowdyboy.
Why haven't the Dems noticed Graham yet. Sure he jumped in the race late, but he's been making waves lately. And he is the only Democratic candidate that I believe can beat Bush. Not only that, but he will kill him in a landslide because he will win Florida as well as the south.
We as Democrats need to put Graham on the ticket or else we'll have to suffer another four years with the current idiot.



"Graham is like Tony Soprano playing a college professor, a street-smart tough guy who acts like a nerd. That's how he has whipped the Republicans every time they came after him in Florida."

8. ewww I like that quote

9. After the moral and ethical whiplash we've been through with Bush, et. al,

I am ready to send Senator Bob Graham to the White House. His untiring commitment to people is what this country hungers for now. We have been betrayed, lied to and sold down the river by the thugs squatting in OUR White House. It's OUR government. It's OUR reputation. It's OUR LIVES.

And we are angry. I am beside myself with fury and grief at what we have lost. People, Senator Graham is a gifted politician, he's from the old school and knows that he must serve the people, above anything else. And he continues to serve now, as he has since he was first elected to office in Florida in 1966.

I look at him and see that quiet expression, masking a determined and courageous fighter, one who will deliver the final knockout punch to the Bush thugs. And most people now are just beginning to notice. He's the real thing, folks. He's a winner if there ever was one.

10. I see the same promise and I feel the same rage...

I think Bob Graham may be the one who can do it-God knows they're going to pull every filthy trick in the book to beat us, but Graham has thrived in one of the trickiest political states in the union. He has the potential to pull together a coalition that could actually threaten this Administration and , by God, I think he intends to do it!

Stay out of small planes, Senator....
