(I knew I was forgetting someone! :o )

[Pris-LA]

2. Where's The General?

I loves me some Wes Clark. I would back him in a heartbeat.

[XemaSab]

4. Fixed

:P

[Graybeard]

6. Wes Clark should certainly be in your poll.

He has remained in the public eye with TV appearances and such. I would not be suprised to see him as VP on somebody's ticket.

[XemaSab]

16. Fixed

n/t

[LBJDemocrat]

5. Dean

No one comes close to Dean.

[RestoreGore]

7. Thomas Jefferson

:-)

[Sherman A1]

8. Feingold

[PresidentObama]

9. First place for Kerry. Second for Gore. Respectable third for Clark.

My original three candidates, none in the race :(

[Tom Rinaldo]

10. Wes Clark is the guy who has long been warning us about the push for war with Iran

For that reason alone he earns support, but lord knows there are plenty of others. Al Gore would be great as well.

[nevergiveup]

11. Russ Feingold

with honorable mention to Dick Durbin

[Lena inRI]

12. The TRUE BLUE TICKET. . .

I'M WRITING THEM IN NOVEMBER 4, 2008 !

13. The sad thing for me about this poll is

I would rather vote for Wes Clark, Al Gore, Russ Feingold, Howard Dean, or John Kerry rather than any of the candidates we now are being asked to choose between. After the 2004 election it seemed every one of the above Democrats could have become real candidates for President in 2008, that isn't a fantasy list by any means. Dean took himself out of consideration early to run for DNC Chair, and I am proud of the work he has done there. Feingold flirted seriously with the idea. Kerry for a long time seemed absolutely certain to run again. Clark looked for sure like he was getting into the race when he spoke at the DNC's winter meeting early this year, and Al Gore has been urged by a lot of people to run.

These are all seasoned and progressive leaders. Howard Dean had the least national experience of the bunch but his vision for both the nation and the Democratic Party has been proved correct by history, so that fills out his resume in my opinion. The others all already had the gravitas to make Hillary Clinton look like a Junior Senator from New York compared to them, rather than her current position in the Democratic field of candidates where it is the other front runners who look relatively inexperienced compared to her.

[XemaSab]

14. That's how I feel

All three of the front runners are one-term senators. :(

Obama is about where Jimmy Carter was in '76, but the other two... :scared:

[Forkboy]

15. Jello Biafra

:P

[jefferson_dem]

18. Dude!

It's tough to quarrel with that one. A classic --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uu4SRvJbD0

[Forkboy]

27. What a great way to start my day!

Thanks!

I have that whole show on VHS still.Jello was,and still is,the epitome of the perfect frontman for a band.

Now I'm going to have "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" in my head all day.COOL! :)

[jenmarie]

17. No question, no hesitation

CLARK!!

I am waiting and watching and so far I feel a true leader has yet to step into the race.

[saltpoint]

19. There's a lot to like on that list, XemaSab.

In no particular order, I could go whole-hog for Bill Bradley, Al Gore, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., John Kerry, Russ Feingold, Gary Hart, Barbara Boxer, Bill Moyers, Mario Cuomo, and some others as well.

They're noncandidates but they are major points of reference and resource as we move ahead into the next 4-8 years. Think what a Cabinet we'd have with even half of those folks.

[Wesin04]

20. I'm waiting for Wes

He's the one that's sorely missing from the scene. The others leave me empty when I listen to the back and forth. We need a leader who knows what he's talking about.:patriot:

[PurityOfEssence]

21. Gary Hart

I'll always wonder what would have happened in 1984 if the Democratic Party hacks hadn't shortened the primary season and forced Mondale on us...

[Hart2008]

33. Wahoo! Draft Hart! Draft Hart! Draft Hart! Draft Hart! Draft Hart! Draft Hart! n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I prefer Kerry, Gore, Clark, and Dean

over all of our nominees, sadly. :(

[Telly Savalas]

23. Senator Boxer

[JohnLocke]

24. Feingold

[ProudDad]

25. Ralph Nader

<gd&r> :hide: :)

[riverdale]

26. 1. Nader 2. Michael Moore 3. Feingold

[summercat]

28. Clark's the man.

If I can't vote for him, I'll write him in.

[Dawgs]

29. Why no Feingold?

[XemaSab]

30. I forgot a few people when I originally posted this

:P

[SoxFan]

31. Mark Warner, Bob Kerrey

[Colobo]

32. Clark.

[Hart2008]

34. What kind of draft poll doesn't list Gary Hart?

:eyes:

His think tank, the American Security Project will release a major report tomorrow.

Let's get real here!
