Politically speaking, not necessarily my preferences...Feingold/Clark, Obama/Clark, Clinton/Schweitzer, Feingold/Richardson, Gore/Feingold, Gore/Clark, and many other combinations of these and other names. Republican pairings that would dine upon the bizarre pairing of two Midwest Senators...McCain/Giuliani, Romney/Frist, McCain/Huckabee, Giuliani/Huckabee, Romney/Rice, McCain/Thompson, etc.

Any ticket that doesnt featuere all Senators (who havent been elected to the Presidency since 1960, and before that 1920) and represents more than one region of the country.

Wisconsin beat Iowa today to go 10-1. The Badgers' starting qb was out, and a cornerback, and PJ Hill lost a rare fumble but they still beat the incredibly overhyped (up until a few weeks ago) Hawkeyes in Iowa for the first time in years.

His promoters should match him up with another Jeremy Bates type (maybe someone slightly better, like Rob Calloway) and put the fight on the actual Fox network. Give him one last chance to draw attention before going after a belt, presumably on ppv.
-
Yeah, a ticket with two Midwest Senators will really go far.

As far as liberal spending goes, I really think that the past decade has changed the perceptions in the minds of Americans of Democrats/Republicans. The GOP tried lying about tax cuts & spending, and the voters werent buying it this year. I'm not sure the 'liberal' tag will work as well in 2008. All this can change easily in the next two years, of course.

The GOPtoadie crowd tends to suggest Feingold is in cahoots with the terrorists, it is the image of him that they try to put forth. It seems to be the only negative idea that people might get instantly from a "Hey, Im Russ Feingold" introduction. He'll be bringing his office-hours tour to a nearby town in a couple weeks, Ill probably stop in to let him know that The Czech Republic likes some of his ideas.

Just stop.

And they havent done anything at all in like 15 years.

Yeah, the mullet bloc cant be impressed by this kind of thing.

What about an obese John Mayer?

How long until President Bush declares "we never said 'cut & run'"?
-
Obviously he wont get the support of people that get their 'news' from Fox, Czech. But I fail to see how Americans with a functioning brainstem will automatically link Feingold with the terorists. He has the most integrity & political courage of any Dem candidate, and is probably only surpassed by Obama for personal charisma.

Finally. After being proven correct 30 years ago, Congress will now listen to George McGovern. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/09/D8LA01L00.html

My costume & I would have really enjoyed Mobile/Memphis.

That could happen if the Right continues to refuse admit that the Democrats got votes on Tuesday.

Didnt Rush Limbaugh once make up some graphs to show how Ronald Reagan didnt really spend all that money?
-
I didnt say he was an 'uncharismatic loser'. Hes proven himself as a succsseful candidate for Senate, seems like a handsome enough gent, and does ok for himself on the stump trail. Unfortunately, he has only slightly more charisma than Gore & Kerry...he just exhudes 'regular', and that is not a trait that ever fares well on the national scene. There are many potential '08 Dems that have less charisma than Bayh, and several with more, but his pure vanilla image simply will not resonate with voters across America. Bland Senator with a dynasty to build upon makes for a poor Presidential candidate.

Higgins was right all along!

Vanilla Ice isnt a good character?

I'm glad I got to see Kanye before he jumped shark.

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/09/D8L9PBBG0.html Iraq's health minister says there have been 150,000 civilians killed.

I'll repeat here what I said at another messageboard: -When will the Democrats-dont-have-ideas/plans/platform thing stop? It seems to be the last shred of bullshit that the GOP toadies have to grasp onto (dignity & sense seem to be un-graspable for some). They ran on 'cleaning up corruption, raising the minmum wage, stronger national security/911 commission, Iraq changes, and middle class tax cuts' and have already said, rather bluntly, what they plan to do first. How is it dificult to admit that Americans might have voted for these things just as much as against the failed Republican policies? - If the GOP doesnt realize this obvious facet of this election, they wont do any better in '08. Social conservatism, ultra-liberal spending, and foreign-policy from the special-ed room does not make for a good/successful Party.

Evan Bayh will get no further than a Dick Gephardt. The Dems should have seen what a charisma-vortex from the Senate is capable of in 2004. Ed Rendell has about as much chance as Jim Doyle...which is none.
