Then someone who can actually beat McCain - like John Edwards - can get in there. (No, I don't think much of Obama's chances anyomore.)

3. Edwards did beat Clinton in Iowa

And lost to Obama due mainly to starry-eyed Obama fans in the pre-Rev. Wright/Rezko/dumb Pa. remarks days.

7. My avatar is presented as a joke, FWIW.

Edited to add: I'm an Obama supporter. Mr. Clooney is not running for anything.

11. He's already been Best Looking Man of the Year
or whatever that award is. But there should be a Best Looking Man with Best Politics award too.

12. He has great politics, but like many actors what he really wants to do is direct.

but the idea of Al Gore on the second ballot at the convention is tempting.

14. If you believe that, then why do you even bother posting on DU?
BTW, the election hasn't even started yet.

22. That's technically true, but Obama is the mathematical and presumtive nominee.
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 12:30 PM by tridim
And I'll ask again, why do you post on DU if you think we've already lost? What's your point?

Maybe YOU do, but that's why I'm asking you these questions. The fact that you aren't answering speaks volumes about who you really are.

I wish he had done better, but he's out.

16. Even when Edwards was behind in the Dem primaries and caucuses
he was the one Democrat who was polling ahead of any of the possible GOP nominees.

21. and again I ask...what was it about the speech?
the fact he gave one? the fact it was televised? the reactions to it afterward? or was there something in the message that made you think this?

30. Please let Edwards go
The man had his shot. He failed to win even a single primary. And now -- after losing every primary he ran in -- he should get the nomination? Do you live in Bizrro World? Do primaries mean nothing?

32. I'm sure the voters wouldn't mind
the DNC just replacing the nominee at the convention.....not at all.
