which canidate (drop outs too)would you love to have as a friend and why?

[corporatewhore]

pretty straight forward
ps thankyou to whoever gave me my star!!!

[Dookus]

1. I voted Kerry

cuz i figure he'd pick up the bar tab.

[Debi]

13. Don't you mean...

His wife will pick up the tab??

[AnnitaR]

2. Clark

Because I know if we were traveling together and my car tumbled off the side of a mountain... he'd risk his own life, grab a rope and repel down the side of the mountain to try and save me.

He did do that for his friend. Shows the kind of person he truly is.

[corporatewhore]

6. seems like quite a friend

[Piperay]

3. Clark

cause he just seems like a genuine all round nice guy and very capable of handling any problems that could come up. :-)

[not systems]

4. Dean I think Judy Dean would be a great doctor to know.

It is so hard to find a good one.

[Shanty Oilish]

5. Edwards

He's the only one of them that, I know for sure, understands the worst pain life offers.
Perspective counts a lot with me.

[spooky3]

9. same here+ Elizabeth Edwards

One sweet moment occurred when he introduced her during a speech as "the love of my life and wife of 26 years" but someone was distracting her at that moment. When she got free, she touched her forefinger to her lips and then touched his sleeve, then stepped back as he continued to address the crowd. It is really moving to see people who seem to be so smart, so dedicated to the right things in life, and so deeply caring of one another after all these years.

7. Dean

because he does what true friends do. He tells you the truth, even if it isn't exactly what you want to hear, then he fights like Hell for you through thick and thin.

[Minstrel Boy]

8. What I look for in a friend

I see in Kucinich.

An amiable guy with integrity who shares many of my values, who would likely be there for a buddy.

Dean seems like a decent, genuine person, but he's someone I could get excited about working for, not hanging out with.

If Kerry, Edwards or Clark were my friend, I can't imagine what kind of person that would make me. I'm not saying they're bad people, just that such people don't seem real to me. If they were to be my friends, they'd have to be imaginary friends.

[corporatewhore]

10. kick!

[BurtWorm]

11. Dean and his wife Judy

seem like my kind of people. I think I could relate to Dennis too, as a fellow Slav.

[Debi]

12. I vote Dean

Not only is the guy honest - he listens to advice and TAKES it.

(Plus he's handy...when I found out what he does to relax I told my husband we NEED him as a friend).

:pals:

[Padraig18]

14. Howard Dean and Judy Steinberg-Dean.

I just think they'd be cool people to hang out with. :)

[NashVegas]

15. I'm a Deanie Who Went for Edwards in This Poll

Why?

Occasional free legal advice & references.

[BurtWorm]

18. I won't ask why you might need more legal advice than medical advice.

I will just let my imagination run wild! ;)

[aldian159]

16. Dean

access the all-powerful prescription pad1

Really, I love doctors, and would love to have a cup of coffee (neither the Dr. nor I drink) with Dean.

[Debi]

25. Sorry...

But he doesn't do caffine either...how about a ginger ale..hear he likes that stuff.

At one event (a morning event) As the Governor sat down to a bowl of cereal (an my husband was eating a doughnut) He said to the Governor "We have nothing in common...I smoke, drink coffe and eat all that is bad for me, you on the other hand are all about being healthy." The Governor said, "doesn't matter, just take care of yourself." What a guy!!


Wait a second....Rush...is that you???

[Anwen]

17. Dean & Judy

They seem like such honest, down-to-earth people who know how to relax and enjoy life. It would also be quite nice to be friends with a couple of great doctors! :-)

[redqueen]

19. Kucinich

I have more in common with him than the others.

Also he's very smart. There's nothing I enjoy more than good conversation with knowledgeable people. :)

[Sean Reynolds]

20. It'd be fun to sit around and bash Bush with Dean.....

Couldn't really do that with the other candidates except Braun, Kucinich and Sharpton. The rest were pretty quiet when it came to attacking Bush when it counted.

[mikehiggins]

21. Clark

He's as old as me and he still has a working brain.

[robbedvoter]

22. Clark - fun, smart, trustworthy - what more can I ask in a friend?

Ah, easy on the eyes too - doesn't hurt.

[Scoopie]

23. Mmmmm.... Clark

Most definately.
Besides being easy on the eyes - the man is funny as hell. You only have to talk to him privately for a few minutes to see he's just like one of us: thinks Bush is a dolt and a creep. He also makes some pretty good funnies about the lot of us wanting to get drunk on his front lawn - but that's a story for another time. ;)

[elcondor]

24. heehee--I agree

;-)

[stickdog]

26. Dean.

He's a regular, moderate guy just trying to do his best for his country against right wing zealots and corporate power mongers.

Just like I am.

[Debi]

30. Problem is..

some of THEM are pretending to be Democrats.

[Madrone]

27. Kooch.

Because he has a lot in common with me idealistically, spritually, and politically, and I know he'd be facinating to talk to.

He also appeals to me as a person who is very humble and just oozes integrity.

[sleipnir]

28. Kerry is in the tank, though it doesn't surprise me.

No one wants him as a friend, odd how they want him as President.

[Straight Shooter]

29. I'd like Kucinich as a friend, and Dr. Dean as my neighbor

I think Dennis would be most engaging in the realm of idealism and talks of a brighter future, trying to turn this upside-down world right side up.

On the other hand, Dr. Dean reminds me of the kind of guy who steps out in the early morning to retrieve his paper, gives me a big wave and a wonderful smile and says, "Hey, how you doing?" And maybe he'll come over to the fence and we'll chat for a while, very pleasant.

I don't want Al as a friend after what he did to Dr. Dean per suggestion of Roger Stone. Same goes for John Kerry and the Torticelli connection. I have to be able to trust my friends.

32. Joe Lieberman

I wouldn't vote for Joe in a primary, but he has proven he is a man of integrity and stands by his word. He, in fact, did wait for Gore to announce his decision before he announced -- just like he said he would. I'll take that kind of friend any day. Joe is just a good guy.

[Guava Jelly]

33. I picked Al Sharpton

Why because he's smart fast and fricken funny.
Please tell me one debate where Al Sharpton didn't have the best lines.
the man is a preacher and it shows.
I am a Die Hard Clarkie but imaginary cloud guy damnit I love Al Sharpton..And i am White :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Wes.

Who wouldn't want a friend who LOVES Cheetos, Chocolate covered gummy bears and Samuael Adams beer???! He likes Bob Dylan and rock and roll, he's probably one of the most intelligent people on this earth and he's a kind, nice, and warmhearted soul. What's not to like? Other than a Kerry endorsement. :(

[justinpower]

35. DK

Because he has more integrity than most people I know. I find him inspirational.

[MaggieSwanson]

37. Dennis Kucinich

Because of his quick wit, and the way his eyes sparkle when he makes a controversial statement.
A great thinker AND a great listener.
Not that I am biased.
;-)

[corporatewhore]

36. kick!

[Cuban_Liberal]

38. Dr. Dean and Dr. Steinberg-Dean.

They just seem such like normal, down-to-earth people. I can see us sipping iced tea and doing burgers on the grill, for some reason. :)

[chyjo]

39. Edwards

he seems like he would be very hard to not get along with.

[Kanary]

40. For a *real* friend, it would have to be Dennis

He knows how to listen, and can zero in on one person. He obviously has lots of compassion, and doesn't judge others. I would feel comfortable telling him things that are bothering me that I don't feel safe telling others. *That* is what a real friend does.

For a more superficial friend, more of an acquaintance, I would enjoy a good conversation with Clark, and maybe Dean. But, then, I'd also enjoy a conversation with Dennis, too. That man has a lot of knowledge about such a wide range of topics. With all he does, I don't know where he finds the time to keep so well informed. :)

Kanary, who *wishes* she was lucky enough to have a friend like Dennis!
