Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
Shack is right....
Going back to a Gore/Kerry choice would be lethal for the Democrats.. A Romney style character is also not good for the Republicans either...
Hilary vs Christie would pretty much end up being decided by moderates... Christie has improved himself and now is quite well liked in NJ, and Sandy has shown that he is a good man who cares for his people greatly. Hilary is likley one of the most well liked and respected Democrats in the country. She actually enjoys a lot of respect from Moderates and Normal Republicans as well.
I think the only problem with Christie is that he is not a normal politician... He speaks his mind and well sometimes he says stuff that gets him in trouble... However, over time... What I have seen is that if people like the man they actually ignore the gaffes...

What's your point? I actually like Warren's tone, it's rather reassuring and kindly without being submissive. I could listen to her for four or eight years and not want to castrate myself.

"What's your point? "
Um choosing Warren would leave the door open to the Republicans to come back to the white house...

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
How, because she's hawkish on banks? Banks are pretty unpopular. It's a selling point, if anything. Though it might piss off the Geithner types the Democrats have wooed since the mid-1970s. Plus, she's also hawkish on Iran. Honestly, my dream candidate is Feingold, but that's seriously unlikely.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
Come on Tyler...
Running for President is more about image and likeability... I dont see Warren scoring high on either.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
I think most American would agree ^
Do you want Grandpa Joe Biden as President or another inexperienced man like Obama in office?
I think the next President needs to be one who can say "Yes I have and yes we can, yes we shall" Then "yes we can"

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
No. I don't want that. Because the person you're describing is some dick who is already in deep politics.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
There's almost no difference between Hillary or Obama politically and neither of them give a shit about us. They're careerists. The only Republican that could win is Fat Man, who is politically close to them or Cory Booker except socially a tad more conservative.

Most of the differences in candidates within parties stem from temperament and speaking ability. Any differences between those two are on the margins and maybe how they go about a policy goal rather than the policy itself. Same with a McCain and Romney. Although McCain's need to bomb people really seems to be marginalizing him further from based on the shift in the GOP over the last year or so on privacy/military action. I dislike Christie because he is fat and that suggests to me he lacks discipline. Whatever, genes, I don't care.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
Thats a silly argument.

Imo looking into the past Superfical leaders get nothing done.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
Presidents don't exist to be "leaders". They exist to distract from real power.

Re: 2016 Election: Back To The Future?
The Democrat candidates look to be Warren, Clinton and Biden. In my opinion, obviously.
I'd say that is a MUCH stronger slate than anything the Republicans throw out.
