Select all you would be happy with as the democratic nominee for president in 2016. Please only vote if you are not a republican and would potentially vote democrat in the 2016 presidential race. Also please add other names I missed in the thread.

Adding poll, please be patient.

Brian Schweitzer, former Governor of Montana.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

out of that list, Elizabeth Warren, with the caveat that there are several candidates listed that i know little about.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Alan Grayson would be a fine choice.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Other. As in, "none of the above."
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Out of those...Warren I guess?

Why exactly? The woman is the Michelle Bachman of the left.

I would like to see you win the nomination.

Oh, wait, you did say whom I would vote for. Brad Henry of Oklahoma is the only Dem that I would potentially vote for.

my impression of her is mostly from national news, but she seems to be one of the few who isn't completely beholden to corporate interests, and who isn't an establishment or a "next in line" candidate. i would have to do a lot more research before voting for either her or her opponent, however.

Let me tell you her problem positions: She thinks that having children is the #1 cause of bankruptcy and she thinks that women continuing to work after WWII was the driver in the destruction of household income. She is right as to the latter BTW, but that is not exactly going to fly so well with mothers, most of whom happen to be women. :wink2:

I am not sure what this is, whether it is republican, democratic, or independent, but I would like to see either of the father son duo Ron or Rand Paul run. The most important issue for me is the abolishment of The Fed. Not only would we have not gone to certain wars if we did not have The Fed, but the suffering of the business cycle might be altered if The Fed was removed.

i guess i haven't seen the superpac commercials yet.

A pentagram and a slug of whiskey and the woman is such an outlier that the democrat base would need a binoculars app on their Obamaphone just to get a glimpse of her.

She writes books you know.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Though Hillary is not my favorite Dem, its more important to me that the Dems win the White House than we have the perfect Dem running. I am a pragmatist. Hillary is pretty much a shoe-in in 2016, unless the Reps run Christie, which they will not.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Hilary Clinton/Julian Castro 2016. That ticket would be unstoppable.
 
Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim

Out of that list, my vote is NOT ELIZABETH WARREN.

i'll have to read one of them. if she really is the Bachman of the left, i couldn't vote for her. from my limited exposure to her, i didn't get that impression, but i always research my votes.

She's not the Bachman of the left. The only reason he is making that comparison is because she is a woman that he disagrees with.

She is rather level headed, not beholden to corporate interest, has the ability to compromise, and wants to get stuff done.

Out of those candidates, Hillary would get my support, so would Cuomo, Warren, and Patrick. Cory Booker would probably get me the most excited, I'd probably actively campaign for that guy.

that was my impression, but as i said, i've only seen her in news clips, and my exposure to her platform is limited. from what i've seen, though, she is the one i prefer out of that list.

Of those on the list I would latch onto Mark Warner, off the list I would like to see Senator John Tester of MT run, Retiring Senator Tim Johnson of SD or retired Senator Kent Conrad of ND. My favorite at this time would be Missouri Govenor Jay Nixon.

Dear god, no.
Hey, he has a degree from Harvard. He tells it like he sees it. God only know what he's seeing, but he's compelled to tell it anyway. Gotta like him for that. Hillary tells it like she wants you to think you see it. BIG difference.
