Wow, so many great choices... Can't get myself to decide between Brown, Church, Udall or Chisholm (Humphrey's time has gone, unfortunately).

Anyone wants to convince me to vote for their guy? Smiley

Church/Birch is geographically diverse, solidifies the democratic coalition, and rhymes. What's not to like?

Chisholm/Church is geographically, sexually, and racially diverse, also solidifies the Democratic coalition, and is alliterative.

Church/Birch

I think Church has a lot more cross-over appeal, and Birch Bayh is one of the greatest defenders of women's rights the Senate has ever seen. 

Also, we've had way too many presidents from New York!

No! We haven't had enough presidents from New York!

Ford/Rockefeller, although this is a great list on the GOP side.

If the Vice President isn't nominated then she should run as an independent Socialist-Democratic candidate.

Ooh, that would make the election far more interesting!

Is Eugene McCarthy going to be an option in the general election?

You seem like a good socialist boy. Why didn't you vote for Chisholm?

It's kind of silly to nominate a VP again under a different president.

Shouldn't Republicans and Democrats have a primary run-off first?

It wasn't even close for the Dems and Ford won by two votes, why would there be a run-off?

At least in the case of Church, he only won a 35% plurality. Haven't been following closely enough to know how Cath has dealt with situations like this.

Usually he has a top-3 runoff. The Udall voters alone will probably be enough to give Church an absolute majority.

The huge amount of voters in the Democratic primary compared to the Republican bodes ill for the general..
