Please no more Democratic presidential candidates from Massachusetts

[coldmountain]

They've not done so well lately. Let Hillary win and work on lower offices like the Tea party has beat us over the head with.

[NoOneMan]

1. Say it after me...

2014. 2014

[Agschmid]

9. +1

[NuclearDem]

2. Besides Kerry (who did fairly well, actually) and Dukakis, who would that be?

And why the blue hell are we worrying about 2016 when we still have a midterm to deal with?

[NoOneMan]

11. There is a certain camp terrified of Warren

Its 2013 and we already have to deal with this shit

[coldmountain]

13. Yeah, the ones that don't want Christie or a Tea party president

I remember 2000 when the left pushed Gore too far out of the mainstream and said there was no difference between Bush and Gore. I also remember the left giving us Richard Nixon twice and Kennedy pushing Carter too far left.

[sabrina 1]

14. Gore won the 2000 election. Did you forget that?

[NoOneMan]

15. The left pushed Gore out of the mainstream? The guy who ran with Lieberman

Get a hold of yourself

[joshcryer]

31. Re-read what you just wrote.

Yes, Gore was forced to pick Lieberman because he was considered too progressive... think about it.

[CTyankee]

42. I was under the impression that Al picked Joe because he felt the need to restore

"integrity" to the party after Bill soiled us Dems with his Lewinsky scandal. That was before we Dems kicked JOe out of our state's party and he then went on a jihad against all Dems and killed the public option....

[Fumesucker]

16. Lieberman 2016!

Feel the Joementum!

[H2O Man]

21. Mainstream Joementum,

at that!

[HappyMe]

27. Oh boy.

That makes no damn sense.

[Douglas Carpenter]

33. In what ways were Al Gore in 2000 or Jimmy Carter in 1980 pushed too far to the left?

What positions did Al Gore run on in 2000 or Jimmy Carter in 1980 that were far to left for mainstream America?

[joshcryer]

30. Note: it's the END of 2013. We need a challenger NOW.

I want Warren with every fiber of my being, and I am considering writing an OP about how drafting Warren in the first two primary states should be our absolute priority, but I dunno how well it would be received by me (I had, at last count, some 30+ ignores before that feature was removed).

Someone needs to make an OP about this. If a draft Warren effort succeeds in the first two Democratic primary states, then I think she'd throw her hat in. At minimum it'd force Hillary to shift to the left. At most, Warren could win the thing!

[Iggo]

3. Reach.

[Duckhunter935]

4. please no more Clintons or Bushes

with over 300 million people in the country, two families should not run it. And 2014 is between now and 16.

[sabrina 1]

17. Exactly. Enough with the dynasties, especially ones who will continue the status quo. They are all

such good friends, these family dynasties, the Clintons and the Bushes, as Barbara said 'Bill Clinton is like a son to me'.

Hillary failed the most important test that would have made her eligible to be the president, she supported Bush's lies that got us into the criminal enterprise in Iraq. Anyone whose judgement was so bad that they would support the lies that were obvious to even the most naive person, should not be trusted with such an important job. And that goes for anyone who supported the War Criminals and their disgusting policies of fear.

[dionysus]

6. that's a rather paltry effort, frankly. nt

[alp227]

7. Relax, JFK, both John Adams and son, and Coolidge were from MA. Why not Warren? nt

[Whisp]

8. Why not Warren? Because she truly is the formidable one. n/t

[coldmountain]

10. Warren could barely win in Massachusetts, Hillary polls well everywhere

[elehhhhna]

53. Okay, Chelsea. Thanks for that unbiased opinion.

[California_here]

29. and Robert F. Kennedy had likely won if they had not shot him nt

[Nye Bevan]

12. I'm pretty sure Elizabeth Warren won't be taking any tank rides. (nt)

[solarhydrocan]

18. If she runs she will have to dodge some sniper fire!

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Say what, Chum?

[cali]

20. please, no more silly ops like this. please. please. please

[maddezmom]

23. Wow

I think you really are over the line pushing that RW meme.

[Bohunk68]

26. You got that right maddezmom.

I think we have just learned an lot about the OP. Not to be taken seriously.

[cali]

34. that's for sure. the op has shown his/her true colors

[NYC_SKP]

66. It never fails. Sooner or later.

The condition reveals itself.

[Le Taz Hot]

25. Oh, THAT'S some nasty shit!

"Indian princess Warren?"

[tenderfoot]

58. Your wish has been granted...

[ananda]

24. Truly insane.

We need good liberals.

[Douglas Carpenter]

28. and no insubordinate politicians who smart mouth and backtalk Wall Street investment bankers

With Hillary we will be able to raise more money from Wall Street than the Obama 2008 or Romney 2012 campaigns ever dreamed of.

[Scuba]

32. Corporate Dems are really terrified of EW, aren't they?

[Mass]

35. LOL. It is amazing how some HRC supporters are worried. If she cant beat Warren,

what makes you think she can win a Republican. This said, it is way too early for 2016. 2014.

[Le Taz Hot]

36. I'm going to kick this thread for one reason.

Read post #22 above. This poster exposed himself/herself for what he/she really is and all DUers need to know this.

[In_The_Wind]

38. It's all over now.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=301963&sub=trans

[Le Taz Hot]

40. Yes!!!!

"And it's all over now, Baby Blue."

[In_The_Wind]

43. Have a wonderful day.

[bullwinkle428]

47. Best news of the morning!!

[In_The_Wind]

50. It was too good to keep it to myself.

[HappyMe]

48. lol! I guess it just got a lot colder on the mountain.

[In_The_Wind]

49. It got happier back in MIRT.

Thanks to Skinner!

[HappyMe]

51. Good deal.

I miss being on MIRT. The first week or so I was and .

[In_The_Wind]

54. It keeps me outta trouble.

I was overwhelmed my first term. This time seems easier. Maybe it's the improvements or maybe it's because I know more but I'm enjoying the team work.

[HappyMe]

57. The team work on MIRT is awesome.

[Douglas Carpenter]

55. people who talk about Al Gore or Jimmy Carter being way out of the mainstream in the far left -

probably don't belong here

[In_The_Wind]

56. I agree with you about that.

[Capt. Obvious]

37. According to your hidden post in this thread

you seem like you wouldn't mind a certain candidate from Massachusetts.

[Tanuki]

41. Now, now, I'm sure the OP only reads Cosmo for the articles!

[img][/img]

[bigwillq]

39. I refuse to let Hillary win.

I will do everything I can to make sure she is not the nominee.

[Marrah_G]

44. "Let Hillary win"?

Is that what we've devolved into?

~facepalm~

[Capt. Obvious]

45. PPR in spectacular fashion

bye

[LanternWaste]

46. I think I'll base support on policy issues rather than imaginary blue lines on a map...

I think I'll base support on policy issues rather than imaginary blue lines on a map... but by all means, base your support on that if you think it accomplishes something.

[snooper2]

52. So what's your next handle going to be

hotplains?

windyhill?


how about lukewarmsavanna

[lpbk2713]

59. Trying to attract a new audience?

This is a bit of a surprise.

Massachusetts is in the Northeast.

Most of your previous attacks have been aimed toward the South.

[polichick]

60. Is this where we all do a goose step?

[lpbk2713]

61. Please, no more thinly veiled slanted RW posts from Coldmountain.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

62. Please, no more Clintons.

They are part and parcel of what is wrong with the modern Democratic Party. And I do not relish the idea of the Presidency of the Unites States being traded between two families for all but the last 20+ years.

[karynnj]

63. Pretty dumb theory -

Consider that if Ohio had enough voting machines, Kerry would have won an upset - in spite of a very biased media, a President whose approval was higher than Obama's when he was re-elected, and a lot of Republican cheating. Then would you have said that we should just nominate MA Senators -- or even nominate MA Senators with good hair -- or even nominate MA Senators with good hair and initials JFK? After all both fitting the descriptions would have won.

Not to mention, if you are ruling out people who fit patterns that have lost in the past - don't nominate someone for the DEMOCRATIC nomination who ran unsuccessfully in an earlier year. After all, Stevenson, Humphrey and Gore (who actually like Kerry was cheated) lost. (In that same time frame no one meeting that criteria won.)

There are good reasons to support any candidate - fitting a pattern of what state they represent is not one. Not to mention, as Scott Brown said hundreds of time " she is not from around here".

[Warren DeMontague]

64. more like

65. If not Warren, then whom? If not now, then when?

Complete thread on that subject here.

67. We need a Puma Pizz PPR emoticon!

Left the building, a member no more.

Good riddance.

[Major Hogwash]

69. Or force them to use a Porky Pig avatar.

Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!

[Major Hogwash]

68. Wow . . I heard they are throwing snowballs in hell!!!!

It must be colder than coldmountain in hell these days!!
