Poll question: Which Democrat Would Win A Survivor Series?

[rusty quoin]

1. What a question. I love it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Thank You

2. John Kerry. He'd be awesome. Smart, and diplomatic. nt

[yurbud]

6. If Kerry was captured by cannibals, he'd climb in the pot so they wouldn't strain their backs

lifting him in.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. Ouch

I'm thinking of Fred Thompson on the island... He'd have a heart attack...Mitt Romney would be lost without a blow dryer...

Now, if McCain was twenty years younger he would kick ass...Rudy would go on his own looking for Islamoterrorists...

[yurbud]

13. Rudy would go on and on about how he was there when someone else screwed up royally so he is

most qualified to win.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Exactly...and then when the cannibals...

...tried to eat John Kerry, he'd kill them with his bare hands
and they'd shoot him before the first bite. Then, decades later, an
amoral band of "Swiftpotters" would rise up and declare that
Kerry tried to swim away while he was in the pot and that he
was never really injured while killing those cannibals with
his bare hands, he just stubbed his toe.

[yurbud]

12. you are right about 1971 Kerry. 2004 Kerry let the swiftpotters kick him in the nuts and then

let the election be stolen from him without a peep.

Like Bush, he even took a vacation during the presidential campaign.

[karynnj]

20. The only times he was off the campaign trail

was a week in Idaho after he had won the nomination - where I assume that in addition to snowboarding, there was work done. Don't you thing that time was needed to refocus for the general election.

The other time was when the Republicans had there convention - a time where it is traditional for the Democrats to stay quiet - even that was not all vacation. In addition to about 2 hours of windsurfing, there were many hours of debate preparation - which resulted in the best prepared debater that I have ever seen.

[yurbud]

24. that business of keeping quiet during the GOP convention shows why Dem pols keep getting their ass

handed to them.

They are playing a polite, 19th century game of badminton, and the GOP is coming after them with a chainsaw.

In the debate, Kerry scored some good points, but his demeanor was far too meek and deferential to Bush.


Without raising his voice or being histrionic, he could have called Bush out for what he is: our most incompetent, corrupt, and dangerous president in our history. And bluntly cite the evidence why.

[karynnj]

29. Kerry's demeanor was polite - but his words were anything but meek

Saying that they neglected to guard the KNOWN armor dumps for months and that ammunition from there was in the IEDs killing and maiming "our kids". (Third debate - it wasn't known in first)

Not a War of last resort - that means it is not a just war.

The whole list of how he misled us into war - goes to both being dangerous and incompetent

That he outsourced to Afghan warlords, who were on the side of the Taliban weeks before the job of capturing OBL at Tora Bora.

Kerry gave more easily understood examples of this than anyone else.

[WildEyedLiberal]

30. Nothing you say about the 2004 election is remotely true

I don't know why you insist on lame snark in the first place, but it doesn't help that it's not even clever or factual. Grow up.

[babylonsister]

10. No, he'd convince the cannibals to 'get over it' and take a different tact! nt

[karynnj]

19. He might pretend to move in that direction,

only to make a clever get away.

This is a particularly stupid thread, but Kerry's athleticism and the creativity he demonstrated in getting out of real peril in Vietnam show that he would easily be the best here. Then it was not a silly TV show. Nothing in the pasts of any of the candidates suggest they have been tested in the way he has.

I prefer he avoid idiotic TV and continue the admirable work that he is doing in the Senate.

[slick8790]

26. HAHA!

You owe me a keyboard...

[MBS]

27. and a true athlete to boot n/t

[yurbud]

4. primaries are survivor too except without the alliances, just backbiting and challenges

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I'll Have A Similar Question That Will Get A Laugh Tomorrow Night

I don't want to overdo it... It will go from funny, ha ha, to funny, that's moronic...

[karynnj]

21. In that case, you may want to rethink your snark

Kerry won hands down in one of the most convincing wins in an open primary in 2004 - he, not Dean, Edwards, or Clark - was the one who survived.

PS there were alliances, though they shift. Two examples:
1) Kuchinich telling his Iowa supporters to go to Edwards.
2) A loose alliance where everyone questioned Dean, when he was the front runner - and everyone needed him deflated to win.

[yurbud]

25. Kerry had help from msm & gop in taking down Dean

[karynnj]

28. Dean was more impacted by attacks from Gephardt

who hit him very very hard in a series of ads. Dean responded with negative Gephardt ads. This was in December - Kerry was focused on his own campaign. The MSM did put out a series of stories asking if Dean were too angry. They did switch on Dean, but in that time frame only Clark and occaisionally Edwards got good press, Kerry mainly got stories speculating when he would pull out.

Kerry did get some very good press a few days before the election - when he was re-united with the man whose life he saved in Vietnam. Do you think it was unfair that the media covered that? The coverage I show was as emotionally charged and positive as any campaign happening ever. But - he saved someone's life! - How do you expect it should have been covered.

The same day Dean yelled at an old heckler - that was the unfortunate story that was back to back with Rassman crying and hugging Kerry.

8. Where is Ron Paul?

:rofl:

[tomreedtoon]

11. Clinton would kill and eat the others. Except Obama.

Him, she'd just kill. And yes, that's in the only honest version of Survivor, the one done in Japan called <i>Battle Royale.</i> I hear that's how they're going to pick their next Prime Minister.

[Froward69]

14. Bill Richardson.

he is closest to being a native american than anyone, and he knows politics. he is also heavier than anyone else in the field. they would starve to death before he would.

[eridani]

15. Kucinich survived living in a car

He doesn't sleep much and seems to be able to run all day on what can be extracted from used teabags.

[fightindonkey]

16. Hillary! Throw In A Couple Of Repugs and She'll Gobble Them Up Whole!

[w4rma]

17. Edwards is in the best physical shape of anyone running. (nt)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. That Honor Belongs To Barack Obama

[Hawkowl]

22. He smokes

So he most likely is NOT in the best physical shape.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Good Point

But he plays a lot of street basketball and he doesn't seem to tire... He's more of a sneaky smoker...I doubt he's smoking a pack a day...
