Members Soapsuds Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I would love a Clinton/Edwards ticket. But it looks like Edwards wouldnt want the VP position. I like Edwards but I dont think he has a chance to win for President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 And I apologize for my hot-headed response. I'm sorry. And I shouldn't have called you a neo-con without seeing more of your posts on the matter. You're response proves you are not a neo-con. I again apologize, so sorry man. QUOTE (Chris B @ Nov 18 2007, 07:33 AM) If Hilary is smart, she'll pick Joe Biden as her running mate. Obama is 100% out of the question because he will overshadow her, in addition to the attacks. Edwards said he won't accept VP, not that anyone would offer it to him. I would love Joe Biden as VP. He's actually one of my faves running. Sorry Roman. This is why I don't talk politics much in person. I'm too hot-headed about my Democratic beliefs. I apologize again to Max, Roman and anyone else that I've offended in this topic.

Members Roman Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Mulder, that was HUGE of you to do that. No problems, my man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thank you guys for mentioning that the "change" that I myself has seen in John Edwards. He's comes across as just plain mad and desperate these days. Here's my guesses: Democrat: Clinton as President. Obama as her running mate. Republican: It's a toss up between Huckabee and Guiliani(sp). I'm a moderate (more liberal), but the only Republican who remotely interests me is Ron Paul. The rest are all just wealthy rich white old men who are trying their hardest to impersonate Ronald Reagan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Does anyone eles think the so-called issues, possible scandals within the Dems, supposedly fostered by other Dems, are really Republican tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Wouldn't put it past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Michael, I respect your opinions. But, I just don't think this country will vote for a woman and a black man on the same ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 I can see why you'd think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 What would have to happen is that the 18-30 age group would have to come out en mass and vote for them. Also, the Vietnam generation still hasn't quite taken over. We still have either the Good Ole Boys or the racists who will just block that. I just don't see that happening. In this country, a woman sitting in the big chair is something I thought I would never see. Let's do that one first, and then move on to the next one later.

Members TC Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Good point, Roman. I was born in the US and hold dual citzenship, so I try to follow US politics as much as I can. But even in liberal Canada, we have not yet "elected" a woman into the prime minister's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 And it's a shame, TC, that Great Britain and Europe has dealt with the crap we are still holding ourselves back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 It is a terrible shame, but if we compare to Western Europe(excluding England), at least the US and Canada have a better record of electing people of African heritage on most other legislative levels. There is hope, but as you say, it's unrealistic to expect it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
