Schweitzer / Warner 2008?

[Rob]

The left would hate him, so he can't get the nomination in the first place.

Why?

They wouldn't like his views on gun control. And his red state image in general wouldn't go over too well with "latte liberals".

What about this guy?



and his A rating from the NRA?

[Moooooo]

So far the left is extremley satisfied with Schweitzer.  He has openly opposed Bush's SS plan and he wants the Montana National Guard out of Iraq and home for the wildfire season.  But I see where your comming from.  One wrong move and he will be on their sh**t list.

No one in the primaries cared about gun control, because of his opposition to the war. And he's from Vermont, which basically inoculated him against charges of not being liberal enough.

If gun control was an important issue, it would have come up in the primary. Vermont currently has a Republican governor. I think Dean had the least radical health care plan out of all of the Democrats.

The Left would turn on Schwietzer. That's not even a question.

Probably Warner too.

I agree w/ that statement.  If he did one thing wrong he would go from a favorite straigh to the sh**t list.

Oh come on, Kerry did some wrong things, and still got 59,028,548 votes.

Kerry was a true liberal though.

Kerry was a true liberal though.

There are about 20 Senators more liberal than him. He voted for this stupid war.  That was a really dumb move on his part. He would have been much more effective at criticizing going to war if he had clearly opposed it.

Generally, I don't like social conservatives as candidates, but I would vote for Schweitzer

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Generally, I don't like social conservatives as candidates, but I would vote for Schweitzer

These are the positions I found for social issues.

He's anti gun control.
He's pro-choice.
He opposes vouchers.
He's against the constituonal amendment to ban gay marriage, but says that Montana should ban both gay marriages and civil unions. If you ignore his opinion on Montana, that's the same position as Kerry.

He's moderate socially.

I thought Kerry favored civil unions

Schweitzer opposes the gay marriage ban amendment, so Kerry and his positions are the same on the federal level.

Interestingly, Bush said he's for civil unions, so he's more socially liberal than Schweitzer there, even though he's more socially conservative than Schweitzer on the amendment.

ok, i see what you're saying

ironically enough I probably find myself most in agreement with Kerry on the issue.  Probably not too many issues I can say that about.
