Title: Who is your favorite Democrat for President (after Obama)?
Post by: milhouse24 on September 05, 2012, 11:08:45 AM
If another Democrat served as President in the White House from 2012 to 2016, instead of Obama, who would be your favorite Democrat to act as President and why? 

This could be anyone from Hillary Clinton, Mark Warner, Andrew Cuomo, Evan Bayh, O'Malley, Pelosi, Biden, etc.

What's quite sweet is that once you grow up a bit and either get to college or get a job you'll probably want to hit the you of 2012 for supporting Romney ;)

I came into this thread prepared to give you some friendly ribbing for "unpredictably" picking Cuomo/Schweitzer, but you foiled me. Well-played.

With a few exceptions for people like Zell Miller, they're all more or less the same. I don't know why people get so attached to personalities.

My top three favorites are Feingold, Hillary, and Cuomo.  Sadly, I don't expect any of them to run.

Both Russ Feingold and Bernie Sanders (though he isn't technically a Democrat) are both trustworthy, honorable people. I wouldn't mind either one being President, in the "I can trust this person to not be a special interests puppet" sense.


Title: Re: Who is your favorite Democrat for President (after Obama)?
Post by: Maxwell on September 05, 2012, 05:11:43 PM
1. Andrew Cuomo
2. Brian Schweitzer
3. Russ Feingold (massive respect for his votes on the Patriot Act and generally being very principled)


Title: Re: Who is your favorite Democrat for President (after Obama)?
Post by: CultureKing on September 05, 2012, 05:14:52 PM
1) Bernie Sanders (yes I know it's basically impossible, but if I could choose to make him president then I would)
2) Russ Feingold
3) Schwitzer or Clinton - depends on the day

I kinda forgot about Jim Webb.  But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense that he should run for president.  He's a veteran and a good speaker. 

It would be odd if Mark Warner and Webb both ran in 2016.

Hillary Clinton. I wanted/still want her to be president. She definately needs to run to prevent Christie from being in the oval office.

1. Bernie Sanders.  No chance it could possibly happen, but it sure is nice to dream.  
2. Russ Feingold.  Also difficult to see happening, but it's not impossible in his case.  
3. David Swanson.  I really hope he hops into politics.  
4. Van Jones.  Less of a longshot as the first three, but the McCarthyists wouldn't let him hear the end of it for the fact that he was a communist as a student.  
5. Tammy Baldwin.  Though yes, it won't happen.  Zero chance of it. 
6. Elizabeth Warren, that is, if she gets elected this year, which we all seem to be taking for granted.  She'd be much higher on this list were it not for her DNC speech.

I think Hillary wants to run, but at the age of 68, I think she will have trouble connecting. 
In general, voters like youthful energy and I think Warner and Bayh will also run in 2016. 
I think Cuomo should run, but he might also wait until later. 
Perhaps Hillary can split the votes and come out on top. 
But even though she is a celebrity name, she doesn't have the oratorical skills of Ronald Reagan, another old guy who won it all. 
She might win depending on who her republican opponent is.
