2004 Dems v. 2012 GOP

[King]

Who would win these epic general election fights?

1. Senators Punchline & Punchlinier: Edwards vs. Santorum
2. Fail Messiahs: Clark vs. Perry
3. "Ideas" Guys: Gephardt vs. Gingrich
4. Moderate Villains: Lieberman vs. Huntsman
5. The Beloved Blaxplotation: Sharpton vs. Cain
6. Crazy Hardliners: Dean vs. Bachmann
7. Hardline Crazies: Kucinich vs. Paul
8. Ignored Diversity: Braun vs. Karger
9. The Most Boring Men Alive: Graham vs. Pawlenty

Buddy Roemer can sleep easy knowing he was at least unique.   Oh, I almost forgot...

10. The *Yawn*minees: Kerry vs. Romney

I think Huntsman, Cain, Paul, and maybe Pawlenty would pull it out.  Otherwise, advantage Dems.  I hate Romney just a little bit more than Kerry and I think the nation would, too, in the end.

Mitt Romney makes John Kerry look like a principled, charismatic and inspirational man of conviction who is barely a robot at all.

No.

[Averroës Nix]

I still think that the best comparison for this field is the 1988 Democrats. Especially Ron Paul as Jesse Jackson.

in 05-06 the Republicans on this forum raved about Romney's charisma...

[Mehmentum]

I don't know, I feel Cain and Edwards would be better matches.  Both from the coastal south, both cheated on their spouses...
