Obama's Strongest Surrogate

[SuperTrouper]

[yardwork]

1. Republicans who are speaking out against McCain and endorsing Obama.

[darius15]

2. John Kerry and Debby Wasserman Schultz.

[Bicoastal]

3. I think Joe Biden really should be up there.

[Uzybone]

4. you should add Hillary Rosen

for another ex Hillary supporter she has been awesome when battling GOP tools. She skewers them.

[SuperTrouper]

6. OK

[jberryhill]

5. Wasserman-Schultz Rocks The House /nt

[speedoo]

8. Yup. She got my vote. nt

[NNadir]

7. I would add Ms. Rodham Clinton.

She's been magnificent. I think she should be our next Secretary of State.

[SuperTrouper]

12. It goes without saying. Hillary is the best but outside Biden, I tried to keep out

former Primary rivals. That is why I did not add Richardson.

[WillyT]

9. Michelle Obama

:shrug:

[gateley]

10. Biden. In addition to calling BS on McCain's policies and promises (as each

of these excellent surrogates do), he brings a personal element to who Obama really is as a person. He comes out and says he believes and trusts in Obama. It just adds another dimension that the others don't have the opportunity to address.

[asdjrocky]

11. The American People.

[cliffordu]

13. Me. The fuckers won't put me on television because of this fucked up

swearing problem of mine and the fact that I'd attempt to kick the shit out of anyone supporting Gramps in any perceptable way.

But that's it.

[grantcart]

14. Senator Hillary Clinton

[RoadRage]

15. Looking at this list makes me ask ONE FUCKING QUESTION:

WHERE THE HELL IS AL GORE?????????

Has he endorsed Obama yet? If not - why the fuck not? Drill baby Drill is what he'd rather see? Puh-Leeze.

And if he HAS endorsed Obama.. then umm.. my choice is other, and that's my choice.

19. Al Gore endorsed Obama late in the primary season

after it was clear that Hillary was going to lose. His Dem Convention speech sucked though. It was like a cerebral term paper meant for a newspaper on a complicated issue.

[sandnsea]

16. Claire McCaskill has been n/t

[Sidney J Mussburger]

17. I like Cutter and Susan Rice, who should be included in this poll

[endthewar]

18. Rice is phenomenal!

Wasserman-Schultz is my favorite TV surrogate. :hi:

[quantass]

20. Begala is my choice despite Obama has several good ones

[democracy1st]

29. he's been kicking ass

[malik flavors]

21. Hillary Rosen? She's hardly a surrogate. Maybe Hillary Clinton, but not rosen.

[11 Bravo]

22. Other: The batshit-crazy Sarah Palin. Every time that whack-job opens her mouth ...

the McCain campaign hemorrhages a few more independent voters. Please, Sarah! Don't hold anything back! Let your inner lunatic go!

[Phoonzang]

23. LOL...Rendell's on this list. That's funny. n/t

[1corona4u]

24. I voted Wasserman, but don't think Joe should really be on that list...

(since he's directly involved in the campaign)

[democracy1st]

31. should have been Paul Begala instead

[1corona4u]

35. True...

[grantcart]

25. anybody else want to add Hillary Clinton to this poll?

[Dem_4_Life]

26. Rep. Debbi Wasserman-Schultz is awesome!

:toast:

[BluRay01]

27. It's a tough call, but...

I went with HRC on this. That isn't to minimize the incredible support he's gotten from so many people in the party. Wasserman-Schultz, McCaskill, and Kerry in particular have been amazing. I went with Sen. Clinton because she brought a lot of people to the polls in the primaries. She has spoken strongly and sincerely in support of Obama, specifically telling her supporters that Obama's the person for the job, and a McCain administration would be disastrous for this country. The overriding thing that's happened, though, is that the party has come together overwhelmingly, when a lot of the MSM said they didn't know if it could happen.

[democracy1st]

28. Begala Begala !!

[Tatiana]

30. Hillary Clinton. She just torpedoed McCain in Pennsylvania and possibly Ohio. n/t

[blm]

36. McCain was already torpedoed there.....

Clintons are just jumping in front of a parade that had marched past them long ago and now they want to be seen as leading it.

[Faygo Kid]

32. John Kerry has consistently been very impressive

I really don't think Biden should be on this list.

[Guava Jelly]

33. Joe has been rocking the f'n house

Obama made a very wise choice.

[President Decider]

34. Sen. Claire McCaskill may not win this poll, but I sure as hell enjoy listening to her.

Love the way she consistently throttles Carly Fiorina on MTP ....
