Ron Wyden 2016 - would you vote for him?

[JRP1994]

He's getting prominent coverage today in he wake of the CIA-spying-on-Senate story. If Wyden were to run for President in the Democratic primary, with-or-without Clinton as an opponent, would you vote for him?

My vote: Enthusiastically yes.

[Vega]

Yes, I would.

[BaconBacon96]

I would indeed vote for him.

[Bacon King]

Wyden is great (and his wife is hot) but unfortunately he's probably too dweeby to be a successful Presidential candidate

[Maxwell]

He would most certainly lose, but he would have my vote against Chris Christie or Jeb Bush.

[ElectionsGuy]

he would have my vote against Chris Christie or Jeb Bush.

[cbannon5]

In the Democratic Primary:
Probably.  Unless Dennis Kucinich runs.

In the General Election:
Probably.  Unless Rand Paul is the GOP nominee or the Libertarian manages to get ballot access in Oklahoma. 

[Fuzzy Says: "Abolish NPR!"]

He would most certainly lose, but he would have my vote against Chris Christie or Jeb Bush.

I'm not certain he'd lose.  He's a substantive guy, and more likeable than both of them.  He's also Jewish, so he'd be a "first".

[henster]

He seems like the Democratic version of Paul Ryan he's a wonkish guy and pretty boring and dull.

[Never]

Yes, depending on the Republican nominee. Wyden is a good senator, and I'd rather have a competent president from the other party over a bad president from my own.

[Horus]

Absolutely, he's one of the top five senators currently serving.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

He might not be ideal, but eh, better than Hillary.

[free my dawg]

Of course.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Wyden spends most of his time complaining about people having easy access to Sudafed.

[Indy Texas]

Am I the only person who thinks he kind of looks like a zombie bit him?

[CountryClassSF]

He is a liberal

[Bandit3 the Worker]

He is a liberal

No. He is not.

[Maxwell]

He would most certainly lose, but he would have my vote against Chris Christie or Jeb Bush.

I'm not certain he'd lose.  He's a substantive guy, and more likeable than both of them.  He's also Jewish, so he'd be a "first".

If you're a boring candidate, you have to prove that you're tough enough to move beyond personality, and he doesn't exactly scream tough.

[henster]

Am I the only person who thinks he kind of looks like a zombie bit him?

Ya, I'll agree he doesn't have that presidential look.

[nolesfan2011]

Absolutely, he's one of the top five senators currently serving.

Schweitzer/Wyden 2016!

[Vosem]

One of my favorite left-wingers in the Senate, along with Chuck Schumer. I'd absolutely vote for Wyden against a GOP nominee sufficiently far from my own views.
