Now if we can just get Gore to run, we can have Gore/Obama 2008 and I won't need a new sticker for my car.

I'm for Gore/Obama -- I was ranting about a G/O ticket to Eli just the other day.

What about Clinton/Gore? It worked before.

Considering we are one more stroke, heart attack or plane crash from a Senate run by Dick Cheney. I honsetly think the Jr Senator from Boston needs to defend his freaking senate seat in 2008 so we don't loose another senate seat ala John Edwards.

I fucking love Senator Feingold, Howard Dean and Al Gore but they are not running in 2008 so I am not getting involved in the presidental primary so when Clinton or some other DLCer gets the ticket I will not be that let down.

Will, do you have a policy of repeating certain things over and over again, thinking that they will eventually become reality? E.g., "Underwater tunnel," "Gore/Obama"?

Not that I think it is a bad idea, but I have been wondering why you seem to say the same thing every chance you get.

With Gore as his VP.

Feingold/Obama or Feingold/Clinton would be great. It would set up Obama or Clinton for a presidential run after they have proved themselves in office. Just my 2 pennies.

Feingold would be the win for sure. I like Gore a lot but will people please shut the fuck up about Clinton. The only good thing that could come out of that is Bill as the first, first-gentleman.

Monique, Feingold already stepped aside a month or two ago. I am all for Gore/Obama! And the best part is Gore can win Presidential elections!! He did it before!!!!

what are the chances of clinton/obama or obama/clinton? although feingold ftw.

Jamie Pedersen for President!

@5 - it works, don't knock it.

@4,

So Jake - am I correct that you've somehow lumped Obama in the DLC camp? Please explain. I definitely don't lump him in with Clinton, etc - I see him as an inspiring and refreshing candidate - but that's just me.

@10 -"Feingold FTW" LOL....can that be his tag-line?

@9- He would be wise to opt-in later, once all the hooplah has died down and everyone is sick of the other candidates rhetoric. But I can understand him not putting himself in the race for '08.

No I did not say that Obama is a DLCer. I give him mad props in 2004 for telling them off after DLC.org tried to claim him as one of their own.

I think Obama is a great guy but I don't think a guy who is not even through his first term in the Senate can win in the circular firing squad Democratic primary deathmatch. Call me a bitter Deaniac.

I am also a bitter Deaniac - but I think he has that undefinable "it" that Dean was missing. There are a lot of bitter Deaniacs who are going to Obama meetups, etc.

It's too early to write anyone off yet (except Kucinich, and Gravel and Vilsack) - if he can come in second in Iowa (behind Vilsack), and come in ahead of Hillary in NH, I think we'll have a race on our hands, and it's a race that I think Obama can win.

We'll just have to wait and see. Sitting out and letting Hillary win really isn't an option.

Obama seems great and all, however I don't know enough about him or his politics or his experience to say I'd vote for him.

From what I've witnessed in the people I know, 1/2 of the ones screaming his name like teenagers at a rock-concert know exactly fuck-all about him. As good of an option as he may be for Indecision 2008, I don't believe his party will let him have the nomination due to lack of experience.

So we'll probably get stuck with listening to Hillary back-pedal for the next 8 years.

"Bitter Deaniac" is redundant.
