Who are your favorite DU candidate advocates?

[WillyBrandt]

For the candidates, whether they're still in it or not, who are your favorite advocates on DU? Here are mine for Clark, Dean, Kucinich, and Kerry:

Clark: There are so many! Tough choice, but I think Jerseycoa (now WesDem) gets it. (Wyldwolf, DoveTurnedHawk, and retyred close in the running) On edit: I forgot Tom Rinaldo, who gets a very honorable mention. He advocated for Clark with the serenity and sense of an akido master, while I took the machine gun aggressive approach.

Dean: Tie between slinkerwink and Paraig18

Kucinich: JohnKleeb

Kerry: DrFunkenstein, no doubt whatsoever

(A positive thread--no nastiness, please.)

[Paulie]

1. some additions

Kucinich: Hard to decide, but I'd add dpbrown and redqueen to the list.

Ham Sandwich: WaltStar without a doubt! :D

[FrenchieCat]

2. I liked....

Frenchie myself on Clark......especially early on, during those heady days of the Clark v. Dean intense debates!

Oh, yeah...that's me. What Nerves!

<those French are sooooo arrogant>

Ok, Ok....for Clark, I always liked Family Doctor, WillyBrandt. during the latter 1/2 of the campaign, I loved Tom Rinaldo , JerseyCoa, DonnaZen, and crunchyfrog.

On Edit...how could I have forgotten RobbedVoter for Clark.......what's the matter with me?

Heck, all Clark people were very articulate and impressive. that's my conclusion.

[WillyBrandt]

4. Frenchie! Where have you been?

I was going to put you on there, but you disappeared!

So are you for another candidate yet?

[FrenchieCat]

9. Hey WillyBrandt!

Hell No!

But sure, Kerry is the most likely logical choice at this point...

and if he picked Clark as his VP...
we would have a "Heavy Medal" ticket......

ready to take the Incumbent Wartime Pretender President and his Svengali Vp down.

Whether the Dems party top echelon and Kerry will be that wise...

or buy the Made for/by TVee Candidate John Edwards that CNN and MSNBC are selling, remains to be seen!

Remember the good old days? Damn, talking about battles!

[WillyBrandt]

11. I remember--you know I took it to the streets in NH

Freezing in the snow of Nashua, trying to get people to vote Clark! And, of all things, I was standing across the street looking at Howard Dean's brother.

Heavy Medal--that's good :)

[FrenchieCat]

18. Well WillyBrandt....

My lips are off to you (if you know what I mean).....

Just remembered another great Clark advocate...Billy Bunter!


Anyways, saw that thread about Clark as VP...great info there....

3. only one answer

Tiniore hands down.

[Cuban_Liberal]

6. You beat me to it

I like her posts a lot, for precisely that reason. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Yep Tinoire all the way

She rocks! :bounce:

[kiahzero]

5. For Clark:

JerseyCoa and DTH... both far more articulate at advocating for Clark than I ever was.

[quinnox]

7. Mine

Clark: FrenchieforClark

Dean: no comment

Kucinich: JohnKleeb

Kerry: BLM and others, many good Kerry people here

Edwards: tie - AP, and AndyM (I think that is his name)

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

8. As a Brit, I've really enjoyed so many people's posts

because its helped me get a sense of how individual candidates inspire their supporters.

I find it hard to think of individuals, just because different people have different things to offer. But that said --

Kerry - blm
Edward - AP
Clark - DoveTurnedHawk

were such strong, very early advocates of their candidate I'd love to give them a real special thanks for 'selling' the strengths of their favorite months before the British press was interested. Dean & Kucinich had a stronger showing of support here, so there's far too many who I've really enjoyed reading to list.

[JI7]

10. John kerry-blm

i would have to say blm for Kerry. there are many who come in close though like Dr.Funk, petenyc, .

[rucky]

12. I'll Play

Kerry: BLM, PeteNYC, EileenD

Edwards: AP, AntiNAFTA

Kucinch: Tinoire, RichM, Mairead, Redqueen, CorporateWhore... hell, too many to mention.

The other candidates had some good ones, but it's too chaotic to follow who's for who now.

Edit: None of The Above: DuctapeFatwa!

[JohnLocke]

13. Edwards: AP and Cuban_Liberal; Kerry: Magic Rat

[MurikanDemocrat]

15. Being fairly new, I'd have to say blm for Kerry info

I see a few other standouts too for Kerry and others candidates and too many to name so I won't try because I'll forget someone.

[tishaLA]

16. My nominations

Dean: slinkerwink and Paraig18

Clark: jerseycoa, Tom Rinaldo, DTH (but all excellent, IMHO)

I don't know enough about the other Edwards supporters to make a conclusion, but I can't think of any of the Kerry people that I like.

[Kathleen04]

20. I say:

Clark: I won't even start cause I'll forget someone. ;)

Dean: Definately agree with your choices of slinkerwink and Padraig18.

Kucinich: JohnKleeb, Tinoire, redqueen, Corporatewhore, ZombyWoof

Lot's of Kucinich supporters stand out. :)

Edwards: AP, spooky

Kerry: blm, J17

21. ABB: The Magistrate

Clark: Tom Rinaldo (most positive); Billy Bunter (best smackdown)
Dean: David Zephyr
Edwards: AP

24. Don't forget DuctapeFatwa for "None of the above"

I'd like to see a smackdown between DTF & Mr. Magistrate

[DoveTurnedHawk]

25. There Have Been Several

Although all quite civil, and they often end up at the same place, albeit by taking very different routes to get there.

DTH

[rucky]

28. And that's pretty much where we all end up

'cept for the "civil" part

38. Locking.

I know this thread was started with good intent. But so many times these threads turn into popularity contests and people's feelings can be hurt...like the moderators, whom nobody mentioned..;)

Thanks,
