C'mon Dems, come up with a Bush-beater!

Don't forget the big man, the leader, the big Kahuna...

He who shall not be named.

[Ming]

Back on subject or back to Mingapulco...

He who shall not be named. But may just have his name in blue in your signature.

[Venom]

What was the topic again? Beating Bush, right?

Give him the axe! Give him the axe ! Give him the axe, the axe, the axe !

That's off topic Ming. Ban him for that.

I think beating Bush is a priority.

Let's not forget the important issue here. John Kerry looks like this:



Democratic candidacy would give him a modicum of international media publicity. That would mean I'd have to look at his hideously mutated noggin for at least an year and, should he beat Bush, for 4-8 years more. Furthermore, the Democratic primary season is at the beginning of 2004, which overlaps with my military service, and thought of a man looking like this being the helmsman of the world's only superpower would seriously demoralize me.

I mean, COME ON! LOOK AT THAT CHIN!

[SlowwHand]

Borrow Gimli's.

[JohnT]

He and Jay Leno. Separated at birth?

[Chris 62]

Yes, it's back on topic now.

Still early to say who has a shot at Bush, I will wait till the field narrows, to many guys trying to get Bush.

**** Gephardt doesn't stand a chance in h*ll. I'm from the 3rd district in Missouri, grew up there, live there now and I'll tell you he's not really that overwhelmingly popular here. I don't see how he thinks he'll win a national election. His best hope for the VP slot, but he's so bland, I don't think I could stand to watch that.

His other problem, besides his unbelievable white-breadedness and Opie Taylor looks, is that he's never faced a Republican in an election. Politics in his district is a Democrats only affair. The Democrat who wins the primary is pretty much the Congressman and the Republican is usually a young lawyer with ten grand to spend on flyers who needs something for his resume. He's pretty much kept it this way for 20 years with redistricting too.

While I will say he's an alright Congressman as far as that goes, he's never really stuck his neck out either.

He's good at raising money from unions though, and that's about his only strong point. I'm sure he's thinking that makes him look like a strong VP choice, as it will round out the money-raising ticket with any another candidate, none of whom can possibly be as strong in this area.

[GePap]

Given that Gephard couldn't even keep the leadership of the House Democrats, I can see no reason why the party would back him. He has been a weak leader, with little chance.

I like Kerry (you guys think Bush looks like anyting other than a baffled Chimp? go to Bushorchimp to see the startling similarities) but since he is from the Northeast and liberal, he would not have much of a chance. Lieberman, with his very centrist, hawkish, "pro-family" style might seem like a good candidate, but in the end, he would just look like Bush-lite, the Jewish version, and that doesn't win elections: plus he's looks are all wrong, as far as presidential goes.

Of course, if anything goes wrong in the next year (which is the most likely course of events) then men like Edwards may have a chance.
