Gore/Dean running as independents

[PatrickS]

Wouldn't that be cool!

:evilgrin:

[Caution]

1. not even a little

[NNN0LHI]

2. Oh yea. Having Bush 4 more years would be so cool dude n/t

[abburdlen]

3. If by cool

you mean "the stupidist decision either one could ever make"

Then yeah, it'd be real cool.

[Larkspur]

4. Won't happen. Both are Dems and know that Bush has got to go

Getting rid of Bush is more important than their egos. Both are honorable men and that's why I like them.

[lancdem]

8. I agree

They're Democrats to the core and committed to removing Bush.

[PatrickS]

27. From the way other Democrats have treated Gore and Dean

One wonders why they'd still be loyal to the party

[leyton]

32. How exactly have they treated them?

We nominated Gore and did our best to get out the vote for him, but alas, his campaign was not quite as smooth as Bush's.

As for Dean - I don't think his support has diminished or anything. I think it's more that his support remained in the activist wing of the party but did not transfer to the larger electorate, which is not the fault of the party.

[Ficus]

5. it'd be way cool

to have Roe v Wade overturned...

[brainwashed_youth]

6. dumb idea

Gore and Dean running for prez, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

[HFishbine]

7. Very cool indeed

As Bush's approval rating continue to decline, there's no reason to think that the sanctioned dem ticket would be the only chance to oust Bush.

[PatrickS]

11. Exactly!

At least you've got a little imagination compared to others here!

[mydawgmax]

17. It might be a break for Bush

If two anti-bush tickets split the center/left electoral votes, then Bush wins, even if he is way low in approval. In fact, that might be the only thing that would save him.

[HFishbine]

24. Even that could be a Bush loss

if all he garners is the 29% of the electorate who identify themselves as conservative.

[lancdem]

14. Bush's ratings aren't going to get that low

A Gore/Dean ticket would only siphon off enough of the Democratic vote to guarantee another four years of Bush. Not "cool" at all, I'm afraid.

[NashVegas]

9. It Won't Happen, But ..

Yes, it would be way cool.

[Snivi Yllom]

13. Very cool

But it won't happen...or will it?

[Desertrose]

10. right...like TPTB would let *that* happen!

and people had a fit when they thought Dk would run as an indy/green.

I hate to say this & don't take it wrong...but can't you see how this would be spun by the media?

"Two whiny losers...take their ball and go play somewhere else..."

Peace

[BootinUp]

12. Only if you *really* want Bush...

Gore had his chance, and Dean isn't out of it yet. Keep your powder dry.

[PVnRT]

15. No

And thanks, once again, as I'm sure this is going to inspire yet another round of loyalty oaths for Dean supporters.

[liberalnurse]

16. A large part of me says yes.....

and would send money and give time to make it happen....but I do not know if they could rally the masses as they rally me.

[absyntheNsugar]

18. Can you say major vote split?

Can you say spoiler?

[MoonAndSun]

19. No....

they are Democrats, they want bush* out of the WH, they will support the eventual nominee.

STOP IT with the 3rd party stuff!!

[maddezmom]

20. NO

[bowens43]

21. No

It would ensure a Bush victory.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. Maybe Gore can be the Dem nominee. If something bad comes out about

Kerry and Kerry self-destructs....

[Anwen]

23. Even thoough it won't happen....yes!

:)

[movonne]

25. No not cool...maybe another time but this election is too important.

[Rowdyboy]

26. Cool! And maybe Kucinich can run as a Green and Nader

as an Independent, and Lieberman and Miller as Independent centrists!

Lets fracture the 50% Democratic vote 7 ways from hell while * has a unified party. Thats a swell idea!

[BootinUp]

29. LOL n/t

[goodhue]

28. not cool

[Stuckinthebush]

30. God, no!

That would be terrible - and I'm a Dean guy.

Look, I like Dean a lot, but there is soooo much more at stake this election than whether or not my guy wins the nomination.

Solidarity.

[PatrickS]

31. But...

you're assuming that Kerry will remain popular until the election. A lot of things could happen between now and the election.

[theboss]

33. Let the House decide?

You realize that if no one gets enough electoral votes, the House elects the President.

And you do know who controls the House?

[mitchum]

34. HAHAHAHAHAHA

no

[Padraig18]

35. N-O!

I am a Democrat, and I would not support them, if they did so.
