Republican Presidential Nominee You'd Most Like Us To Face In 2008

Poll question: Republican Presidential Nominee You'd Most Like Us To Face In 2008

Moderate Republicans with no chance of getting the nomination not included.

[liberalpragmatist]

1. Sam Brownback

R-Kansas

[Save The World]

31. Yup. Brownback or anyone like him will guarantee a Dem win

unless they run someone equally nutty. Any mainstream Democrat beats a hard-right Republican like Brownback.

[ProgressiveConn]

2. Can we get a Delay/Frist ticket? Please? nt

[norml]

5. A Bush/Frist ticket is more likely, in my opinion.

I think Jeb is their first choice. It's who the right wing media whores have been pushing.

[ruggerson]

3. Gary Bauer/Alan Keyes

A fundie wet dream ticket

[HawkerHurricane]

20. Keyes will never be part of a Fundie ticket

He's, you know, one of those...

[ruggerson]

29. yes, but he could continue the great GOP tradition of being

a far rightwing hack who fathered a lesbian child

[HawkerHurricane]

38. I'm not saying he isn't qualified...

It's just, you know,...

[NAO]

4. Frist would be the most formidable opponent

and the one most likely to win.

DeLay is of course a joke.

Norm Coleman is the most beatable.

[ruggerson]

7. Nope

Frist is Bob Dole II

Dour, kind of scary looking, very un presidential. Nothing appealing about his personality. Strange eyes.

All we'd have to do is nominate someone with a small sense of humor and he'd be toast.

[NAO]

18. Bob Dole did not have the support of the Religious Reich, nor was the

Religious Reich nearly as powerful as they are now. Unfortunately, I think they are coming into ascendancy rather than declining in influence.

In 2004 the Religious Reich defeated the largest, best funded, most inclusive, most organized, most mobilized progressive coalition in United States history and elected a bumbling moron whose disastrous policies have made him likely the worst president in history.

Now they are trying to subvert the independent judiciary. And they are just getting started...

25. Election fraud beat the Dems in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

It's clear that the Reich has been growing in numbers and power. However, I think the stories about the strength of the Reich or the "values voters" was/is a cover story for the stolen elections and the corporate media dutifully transmitted this propaganda.

You're right that they're just getting started. However, since they came into power through a coup, "winners" and "losers" don't seem applicable when the citizen's votes don't count.

Hopefully, all those citizens who don't vote will start to see a reason to do so real soon. It would be hard to steal another election if all the previous non-voters all went to the polls and all voted Democratic.

[HawkerHurricane]

21. But Dole has a sense of humor...

he's the one who quiped when Carter, Ford and Nixon walked into a room...

"There they are, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Evil."

[Hatalles]

15. Frist is very overrated.

This guy is the Republican version of Gray Davis just waiting to happen. People criticized Gore and Kerry for being too "cardboard." Can you imagine Frist going up against someone like this?



Frist doesn't have a chance.

[ruggerson]

19. Or this?

:)

[tridim]

6. Frist / Newt in 08!

[More Than A Feeling]

8. Norm Coleman?

he isn't being talked about at all. Why do you think he will run?

[norml]

13. Because he's on team Bush, and was groomed by them to take office.

They would consider him to be a stealth candidate for their agenda.

[More Than A Feeling]

16. if he was groomed by them, he isn't exactly stealth

as soon as he announced, his background would reveal that he was Bush's waterboy instantly.

Just thought I'd mention that.

[SerpentX]

9. Roy Moore hands down.

Gotterdammerung. Let's get it on!

[Ksec]

10. Tom Delay

I hate that guy. Hes everything thats wrong with government

[Lone Pawn]

11. Coleman's a joke.

We'd kick his ass easily.

[norml]

28. Norm looks like Veep material for the Jeb ticket to me.

[davidinalameda]

12. Newt!!!!

We want Newt!

[jaysunb]

14. You poll nearly as badly as

CNN.....
:evilgrin:

you left out all the REAL contenders.

[norml]

17. You must mean the contenders who have no chance of getting the nomination

Rudy G, Chuck H, and John M. And Rudy's big race will be to run against Hillary in 06, for her Senate seat.

[nedbal]

32. do you remember he did that once already vs Hillary

<<<<<<Rudy's big race will be to run against Hillary in 06, for her Senate seat.

he had to drop out cuz he was dragging the girlfriend around and left wifey and the kids at Gracie Manor, He must thank Osama Bin Laden daily else his name would be shit in politics.

[norml]

22. I just gave my vote to Bill Frist. I now think it's Jeb Bush/Norm Coleman

in 2008. Norm Coleman is better at smiling, and at looking normal. He could play the part of Just Plain Folks for the Bush Dynasty Ticket.

[elsiesummers]

23. George Allen and Sam Brownback should be on your poll.

Newt too. Even Condoleeza Rice. Don't leave off Cheney either (I mean the man did have the balls to pick himself for VP - who's to say he won't run?)

I agree about leaving out moderates like Rudy Giulliani and Chuck Hagel in that they won't ever get the nomination.

What about Mitch Romney (I've read he may run).

McCain - he has kissed the Bush butt so many times that I'm not convinced that he couldn't be nominated.

All in all, I think your list of possible nominees is damned short.

And I don't think Norm Coleman should be on the list at all. They may be grooming him to replace Frist as Senate Majority Leader.

If I was betting, I'd bet on a Jeb Bush/Bill Frist ticket.

Not sure who I think is more difficult or easy. Frist seems corpse like (and low on leading man style), but he does have the fundies in his pocket.

[BringEmOn]

24. Bring back Dan Quayle...now, he looks like a frickin' genius.

[spindoctor]

26. Hey, I'm the first to pick Jeb

Come on. Jeb's a pussy.

[norml]

27. He's their guy, and they are putting the full weight of their machine...

behind him.

[BlueIris]

30. Love to see someone face off against Frist. Hate him so much. n/t

[nedbal]

33. Stupid DU Liberals

It's stuff like this is why I'm embarrassed to say I'm a liberal anymore. 75% pick what most state is the toughest of the choices presented. So 75% want to go against the toughest choice instead of an unknown if they had their choice. Either this poll was freeped or DU'ers deserve what they get.

[norml]

34. I take it to mean that Bill Frist is viewed as the weakest of the three

And that Jeb Bush is viewed as the toughest to beat.

[nedbal]

36. looking at how DU responded, yes

but Coleman is a relative unknown. Frist has a solid repug support. so du picks what is the toughest of the choices presented.

[norml]

39. Coleman smiles better than Frist. Norm's got that plastic surgery look.

I see Norm Coleman as Veep material.



I see Jeb Bush as their Presidential Candidate.

[Bleacher Creature]

35. George W. Bush

I'm sick of hearing people on our side say that they are happy that he can't run again. Screw that! Amend the Constitution and give us another crack at the moron!

[BlueIris]

37. Oh, man. I was sure your post was going to read something like:

Because you know that's exactly what's going to happen.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

40. Are you assuming that the GOP gives up control of the....

...voting machines? If not, it won't matter who we face in 2008.

I'm still betting on Herr Busch declaring himself President for Life following the next "terrorist" attack.

[QC]

41. Rick Santorum. n/t
