[Richardo]

2. ..

[graywarrior]

3. Come on! We have a buch of people here smarter than he is!

[jobycom]

8. Those who are smarter than him know better than to run.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. A bunch? Apparently it's pretty much everybody!

The Obama / Lincoln parallels continue -- everybody in Lincoln's time thought they could run the country better than he did.

[SpiralHawk]

4. "I am Spartacus" - Generic Spartacus

[graywarrior]

5. The unrec people REALLY REALLY need to run against Obama

Seriously. Show your face and let us cast our votes for YOU!

[ClarkUSA]

17. I vote for a poll. Only there wouldn't be enough room for all the names...

We'd need a playoff system. ;)

[graywarrior]

22. We need a Survivor playoff.

[ClarkUSA]

24. Yes!

Complete with video of each candidate sitting behind their keyboards.

Although that might turn people off. ;)

[graywarrior]

28. With cookie and cake crumbs on their lips or should they starve and post in a heatless room?

[ClarkUSA]

33. I want them to appear as they usually are, which means we go w/the cookie and cake crumbs...

And the coffee stains on the rumpled sweatshirts that have the 90% off retail visage of a candidate who lost to Pres. Obama last year.

;)

[graywarrior]

44. Coffee stains?

Beer stains is more like it. Miller Lite.

[Blasphemer]

54. Which unrec'rs would you be referring to? The ones for or against dissent?

I need to know before I decide how I will vote.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. FREE THE DUCK!!!!!

:P

[jobycom]

9. Nobody really considers the emotions of the tape, though, do they?

[graywarrior]

15. Good question.

[livetohike]

7. K&R for a good question

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

11. Rickman 2012!

:hi:

RL

[graywarrior]

18. Oouu, I'd vote for him!

[HughMoran]

12. I am!

not :hi:

[FrenchieCat]

13. This guy will run!

[goldcanyonaz]

14. Can they campaign and run the country from their mothers basement?

If so, we may be able to find a candidate.

[graywarrior]

19. *snort*

[HopeOverFear]

56. HAHA!!

[Armstead]

16. I would -- But I'm charisma-challenged and have a short fuse

First voter who asked me a question, and I'd reply with something tactful like "What kind of a stupid question is that?"

Actually, I'm usually easygoing, but when it comes to issues and politics I make Barney Frank look like a diplomat.

[democrat2thecore]

20. Nobody could - the African -American vote would prevent any credible challenge

But, I think he should step aside as a candidate for re-election (and I personally believe he'll have no choice) no later than May of '11 so experienced and TRULY PROGRESSIVE candidates can gear up their campaigns and begin raising money, etc.

[graywarrior]

21. And who would that be from DU?

[onenote]

23. bookmarked for a good chuckle in June '11

[democrat2thecore]

25. Please do. This phony progressive offering hope and change has given us CORPORATE CONTROL

of the White House with his buddies Rahm, Summers, Geitner, etc. Please bookmark this post.

[graywarrior]

26. So does this mean you are running in 2012?

How should we print up your bumper stickers?

[democrat2thecore]

32. No, it means when he looks at the poll numbers, he'll HAVE to step aside

and let an experienced, TRULY progressive Democrat run. Mark it down now - if Barack Obama is the niminee, the Democratic Party is FINISHED.

He'll pull out like LBJ and the Democrats will run someone else. PLEASE bookmark this. Please.

[graywarrior]

35. But his thread is asking for DUers to run.

DU has experts and Obama advisors posting here throughout the day and night. Surely there is someone here you'd throw your support behind.

[democrat2thecore]

41. Skinner. ----- What a stupid question!! I would vote for HRC and I did nothing but bash her

for months and months.

[graywarrior]

43. Would you clarify that statement?

I don't know whether to laugh or run.

[treestar]

58. Corporate control did not exist before this?

:rofl:

The corporations would have you for breakfast. You'd be spirited off to an undetermined location by 1 p.m. on Jan. 20, never to be seen again.

[girl gone mad]

27. I nominate MadFloridian.

She's brilliant, progressive, hard-working and kind.

I generally agree with her on most positions.

I hope she picks KPete or AllentownJake for VP.

I hope I am not hurting anyone's feelings. If I ponder it a bit longer, I may think of someone else.

[LooseWilly]

45. I think AllentownJake has more experience in the "trenches", but MadFloridian works for me.

[Dinger]

46. I Was Just Going To Say The Same Thing (nt)

[Karenina]

53. Tansy Gold for president!

MadFloridian for Sec of ED
Octafish for Sec of Defense

Lemme think...

[jgraz]

29. Print out the GD:P forum page, throw a dart at it.

Chances are you'll hit someone who will be better for working people than Obama is.

[graywarrior]

31. I just did and you won!

[jgraz]

39. Only if you'll be my running mate.

[graywarrior]

42. Can I wear glasses and say "you betcha motherfucker"?

[jgraz]

48. That's a requirement.

[graywarrior]

50. Oh goody.

I'll have a baby and say my cat had it.

[graywarrior]

30. Oh pleeeeeeze, keep unreccing this, future presidential candidates.

You're so ballsy why wouldn't we all vote for you?

[Aramchek]

34. there are certainly a bunch here who think they could do a better job.

too bad they're full of shit!

[graywarrior]

38. So is Obama

or so they say.

[Aramchek]

49. He is accomplishing his goals one by one. What are the haters accomplishing?

jack shit, perhaps?

[graywarrior]

52. Poor jack always gets dissed.

What about jill shit?

[demmiblue]

36. I nominate Thom Hartmann!

:bounce:

[Moochy]

37. OMC / Wyldwolf 2012

OMC /Wyldwolf are planning a classic "internet tough guys" campaign, their "MOAR WAR + TAX CUTZ" platform will challenge Obama from the center right.

[graywarrior]

40. Yay, Unrec is rec, up is down, lie is truth....wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[grahamhgreen]

47. I will run against him. What issues do you need solved?

[graywarrior]

51. I don't have any.

Those who should run against him do.

[HopeOverFear]

55. gee, no one's stepped up? I'm shocked, I say...SHOCKED!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

61. I could have sworn on the duck's soul someone would step up to the plate.

[treestar]

57. At least they need Rahm's job

Since they know so much better what to do.

Frankly, the country would really crash.

[depakid]

59. Two of the last three Democratic presidents has faced a strong primary challenge

One over a quagmire of a war- another over healthcare and economic policy.

[bigwillq]

60. Me.

Donations gladly accepted. :)

Question for you, Gray, are you saying that if we disagree with anything Obama says, we must run against him? :shrug: Did you run against Bush? :shrug:

[graywarrior]

62. I'm just asking the question.

Pay no attention to that graywarrior behind the curtain.

[bigwillq]

63. Ok.

Just sounded that way to me. So where's my check? I'm running, don't you know?!??! :P

[graywarrior]

64. I'll cast a vote for ya.

But you'll have to convince the duck
