Which Democratic Presidential Candidate Do You Like The Most

[nevadamedic]

I am just curious which Democratic candidate would you vote for. I am asking if you had to which one would you support and why?

[nevadamedic]

Christopher Dodd, was born May 27, 1944, in Connecticut and is a five-term U.S. Senator from that state. Dodd was reported to be a likely contender for the Democratic Vice President slot on John Kerry's ticket in 2004. In May 2006, Dodd said he has "decided to do all the things that are necessary to prepare to seek the presidency in 2008", including hiring staff, raising money and traveling around the country in the next few months to enlist support.[6] On Jan. 11, 2007, Dodd announced his Presidential candidacy on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show with Don Imus.[7]
U.S. Senator from Connecticut: 1981–Present
U.S. Representative from the Connecticut's 2nd congressional district: 1975–1981

John Edwards, born June 10, 1953, in South Carolina, former U.S. Senator from North Carolina, candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 and 2004 Democratic vice-presidential nominee. As a presidential candidate, Edwards was famed for his populist message in his "Two Americas" speech and also for his optimistic, positive attitude. This was evidenced by his refusal to attack his opponents. In the primaries, Sen. Edwards had strong come-from-behind showings in the crucial states of Iowa, Oklahoma, Virginia, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Georgia. He also won the North Carolina caucus and the South Carolina primary. Edwards has kept his Federal Leadership PAC, the One America Committee, active to help Democrats across the nation win elections in the future. On February 5, 2005, Edwards spoke at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's fundraising dinner. On August 18, 2005, Edwards traveled to Waterloo, Iowa, to deliver an address to the Iowa AFL-CIO, a potential key supporter in the Iowa caucus. On December 26, 2006, Edwards formally announced his candidacy.[8]

U.S. Senator from North Carolina: 1999–2005
Director of the Center on Poverty, Work, and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: 2005–2006
Council on Foreign Relations

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, born October 26, 1947, in Illinois, U.S. Senator from New York and former First Lady of the United States. Clinton announced the formation of her exploratory committee on 20 January 2007, with a post on her website.[4] She has delivered several speeches which analysts say are intended to reach out to moderates. She has also been holding fundraising meetings, including meeting with women from Massachusetts, a key constituency of potential rival and 2004 nominee John Kerry; however, these activities are consistent with the lead up to a campaign for re-election to her Senate seat in 2006. Many Republicans appear to be hoping that Senator Clinton will run for President, presumably believing her to be a polarizing figure. If elected, Clinton would be the first female president. Clinton announced on January 20, 2007, that she will run in 2008 (the same day she announced the formation of an exploratory committee). She has filed the official paperwork for an exploratory committee.[5]

Bill Richardson, born November 15, 1947, in Pasadena, California, Governor of New Mexico, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Secretary of Energy and U.S. Representative. After reportedly informing party leaders in February 2005 of his intention to run for president, on December 7, 2006, Richardson said "I am running" during his response to a prospective question about the 2008 presidential election by Fox News, however he later retracted the decision and said he would make an official decision by January. Recently on The Daily Show, Richardson stated that he was definitely running for President. On May 21, 2007, he officially declared his candidacy. [15] If elected he would be the first Hispanic American to hold Presidential Office.
Governor of New Mexico: 2003–Present
United States Secretary of Energy: 1998–2001
United States Ambassador to the United Nations: 1997–1998
U.S. Representative from the New Mexico's 3rd congressional district: 1983–1997

[nevadamedic]

Barack Obama, born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S. Senator from Illinois. A "draft Obama" movement began with his well-received 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address. Obama was the featured speaker at Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's annual steak fry, a political event favored by presidential hopefuls in the lead-up to the Iowa caucus. He was endorsed by talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2006.[13] Various recent opinion polls have seen Obama's support falling, with him trailing only Hillary Clinton in several polls. If elected, he would become the first African-American President of the United States. Obama announced on February 10, 2007, that he will run in 2008. He has filed the official paperwork. He is also already wasting tax payers money by requesting Secret Service protection for himself and his family, the first candidate in history to ask for and get Secret Service protection this early in the campaign. This is a sign of things to come.

U.S. Senator from Illinois: 2005–Present

Joe Biden, born November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S. Senator from Delaware and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, although he ceased active campaigning in 1987, before the first primaries. Biden first hinted that he might run in 2008 in a December 8, 2004, radio interview with host Don Imus, saying: "I'm going to proceed as if I'm going to run." Biden has repeatedly stated his intention to run, and did so as early as 21 March 2006. Biden's Federal Leadership PAC is "Unite Our States", which tracks Biden's public appearances and policy positions. On 7 January 2007, when asked by Tim Russert on Meet the Press "Are you running for President?" he responded, "I am running for President." He also said he plans to create an exploratory committee by the end of the month.[1][2][3] On January 31, 2007, he officially signed the papers with the FEC to run for president.

My choices, in order of preference:


Kucinich
Edwards
Obama
Clinton
Richardson

[glockmail]

I like Clinton because when she is Prez she will take us far left socialist, the economy will tank, terrorists will invade our soil, proving me correct. Of course I will have my portfolio invested in gold, lead and water purification, and have my ass secured up in the mountains with my guns loaded. After the stock market crashes I'll re-invest big time. Then we'll kick her failed ass to the street, the pendulum will swing the other way, I'll be boku rich, and we won't see another Democrat in the WH for 50 years.

[avatar4321]

Edwards. I think his power to channel dead fetuses makes him far more qualified than any of the other candidates. I mean seriously he has super powers.

I really don't see why any of you including the Liberal's don't like Senator Dodd. You guy's need to realize that if you have any hope of a Presidency it would be him. 50% of Democrat's said they wouldn't vote for Hillary, so that rules her out and 40% have said that about Obama.

dont really care about Senator Dodd or any other Democrat because there wont be a Democrat in the next election barring an act of God.

[5stringJeff]

Since "stick a hot poker up your rear end and perform a self-vasectomy with a rusty butter knife" wasn't an option, I chose Bill Richardson.

[nevadamedic]

I know there wont be, if the Dem's had any brains they would realize Dodd is their only shot at winning.

I'll vote for a dog turd on the front lawn before I'll vote for any democrap.

Just like in Monte Brewster, vote for "None of the above".

[Guernicaa]

It was Obama....But I'm starting to have second thoughts.

For now I'm sticking with Hillary...and Obamas not fat behind.

[Black Lance]

I chose Obama. I disagree with him on many issues, but at least he gives the illusion of being transparent and honest, which might raise the integrity bar a little for future Presidents. Also, his inexperience would make it easier for Republicans in Congress to prevent him from advancing a far-left agenda.

I disagree, he would be a nightmere if he got elected, but I don't think there is a chance in hell that he will.

Who? What?

Because I don't think out society is ready for a Black President. I am not racist at all I just really believe this.

[stephanie]

Obama is a smooth talker(except when he puts his foot in his mouth, which is quite often)...

He seems like a likable enough guy, but I hear a lot of socialist talking points out of him, also....

Hillery........she's a pure Marxist...she's just trying to hide it..

I think I'd go with Gravel.....................Ok..just kidding...

I'll go with............NONE OF THE ABOVE...

What difference does any of this make..

We know the ticket will be....

I would NEVER, under ANY circumstances, vote for a MOTHER FUCKING DEMOCRAP!!! I'd rather chug a gallon of gasoline and eat a lit road flare. :blowup:

Also, his inexperience would make it easier for Republicans in Congress to prevent him from advancing a far-left agenda. I think he's the worst of the bunch. When asked about what he'd do after experiencing an attack on US soil, his response was basically 'put out the fires'. At least Hillery had the balls to say 'retaliate'. And this has happened twice during the debates so it's a pattern, not a mistake.

I think you'd vote for him simply because of the 'white guilt' thing. :poke:

[GW in Ohio]

I know there wont be, if the Dem's had any brains they would realize Dodd is their only shot at winning.

Are you guys aware that if statements like this one.....Chris Dodd is the only Democrat who could win the 'presidency in '08.....were read by outside people, they'd laugh themselves silly?

You guys have no clue about the '08 election.

To begin with, the top 3 Dems have an enormous advantage over any GOPer, simply because they're not in the same party as the hilariously incompetent George Bush.

We will see after the election. 50% of Democrats said under no cercumstances would they vote for Hitlery and a pretty close amount said the same about Osama.

[Black Lance]

What do you think would happen if he were elected? Do you suspect that he would end up getting assasinated like JFK?

Did he say that he would not retaliate, or did he merely state that his immediate priority would be to 'put out the fires'? Obviously an attack on US soil requires a swift response, and almost certainly a military one, but the immediate priority after an attack should be getting Americans to safety. There is plenty of time to bring hell down on those responsible for the attack once American lives and property are out of danger.



I think you'd vote for him simply because of the 'white guilt' thing. :poke:

I don't give the 'white guilt' idea one bit of credence. The American justice system, and American society generally, would absolutely collapse if it accepted as true the absurd concept that people are responsible, even in a vague way, for all bad things done by persons of the same race. The reason I would support Obama of the three top DNC candidates has nothing to do with his race, or some kind of racial guilt complex, but merely reflexs the fact that he seems more honest and upfront than most politicians in our era, which might make for a refreshing change of pace after the Clinton and Bush Presidencies.

[Nate]

I like Bill Richardson the most.

With all due respect to Black Lance, I dislike Obammy the most.

I think he's a hack. He's a wealthy, foreign-raised, well-to-do White guy who wraps himself in the Black Struggle of the 1960's, goes to the ghetto, and screams "I feel your pain!" To me it's the most shameless, transparent example of pandering, even more so than Hillary talking with her lame Southern drawl at the church.

How dare he cannibalize the civil rights struggle? By the time he arrived here, segregation was a relic of the past, and affirmative action had already been implemented.

He has no ideas other than to raise taxes and pour billions and billions of dollars into social welfare programs. Hey, Barack, did you know that's been tried for the last 40 years, to no avail? Of course you do, but you have to ingratiate yourself to "those people" (and you can be damn sure that's how Obammy refers to African Americans in private) even though you know your proposals won't aid them in their plight one single iota, right?

Oh, and he's already been implicated in a shady real estate deal in Illinois - anyone ready for Whitewater II?

....During the April 26 South Carolina candidates' debate, Brian Williams asked what kind of change in the U.S. military posture abroad Obama would order in response to a hypothetical al-Qaeda strike on two American cities.

Obama's answer: "Well, the first thing we would have to do is make sure that we've got an effective emergency response -- something that this administration failed to do when we had a hurricane in New Orleans."

Asked to be commander in chief, Obama could only play first-responder in chief. Caught off guard, and without his advisers, he simply slipped into two automatic talking points: emergency response and its corollary -- the obligatory Katrina Bush-bash. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/07/strike_two_for_obama.html

Perhaps he's "refreshing" to you because he's so inexperienced and stupid.

Worse than John Edwards playing the class warfare card, and then spending the average families food budget for a month on a single haircut at the salon?

Nate, has Obama eagerly taken up the mantle of "civil rights leader", or have liberals simply hoisted that role on him? Obama seems willing to play along, but he's not Al Sharpton either.

Yes, but his inexperience would also make him less likely than the other Democratic candidates to be succesful in passing legislation. No small thing, given what's on the DNC agenda these days.

[nevadamedic]

What's so wrong with Senator Dodd, he is a lot better then the rest of the Democratic Candidates.

With all the Dem candidates, it is like asking what would you rather have? A broken right leg or a broken left leg?
