If you could choose whom would be President
If God, or the universe, came to you and said, "You can pick the President; just give me a list with three choices and your first choice will be elected. You must list candidates currently running!"

Who would be on your list of three?

2. Well, since the universe came to me
Edited on Mon Feb-16-04 02:49 PM by Vote_Clark_In_WI
LAST WEEK to ask me that question, I answered
****General Wesley K. Clark*** of course! :hi:


edited to say, I don't think 'select three of the remaining five running candidates' constitutes the universe telling me I can pick the president

The universe seems to be rather controlling wouldn't ya say? :D

23. Dennis Kucinich, Byron Dorgan, and Dick Gephardt
And if I could choose who would be the Republican candidate to oppose one of those, I would choose good ole Pat Buchanan.

24. Kucinich, Sharpton, Edwards
Kerry's okay but I disagree with him and Dean on trade. I disagree with Dean on criminal justice and the Bill of Rights so he's out.

27. Kucinich -
as for 2 others- I just can't pick. No one compares to Kucinich, which is precisely why I voted for him.
