You wake up tomorrow and Dodd is prez and Max Cleland is veep.

[saltpoint]

Poll question: You wake up tomorrow and Dodd is prez and Max Cleland is veep.

Acceptable?

[AX10]

1. Works for me.

[rwheeler31]

3. ditto

[Buzz Clik]

2. Why not?

[maddiejoan]

4. Acceptable.

But I would send President Dodd a new necktie.

Everytime I see him on TV it's that same damned ugly green necktie.

It's driving me crazy.

[Froward69]

5. It meant someone slipped me a mickey

and i slept through the plane crash/scandle... my next step would be jumping off of the nearest bridge.

[sandnsea]

6. Oh My God IT'S A PARTY!!!

Acceptable? That's an understatement.

:party:

[sellitman]

7. And the point of this poll is? N/T

[rosesaylavee]

8. Hey OC, you saying you can make this happen?

How much would it cost?

:hi:

[saltpoint]

29. It's true -- I'm the lone control of all world events.

I make bread rise and bring powerful nations to their knees.

[rosesaylavee]

39. Wow. Really? I will prepare my list of wishes and needs

and send it along. I got a few people I would like to have brought to their knees. Ok, maybe its a long list but as they are all in the political arena and easy to find.

[saltpoint]

46. My guess is most of the ones on your list are in the Republican Party or

maybe on FOX News?

[rosesaylavee]

56. Man, you are psychic too!

:)

[book_worm]

9. Why not? Sounds good to me.

[SoCalDem]

10. I would think that the Ambien was making me hallucinate n/t

[Swamp Rat]

12. Does it really do that?

Btw, I like your Charlie Brown tree. :)

[SoCalDem]

16. Thanks.. most of my favorite Xmas pics get nixed by the admin

They are over the limit (not by height) but I cannot figure out how to make them "small" enough :cry:

[saltpoint]

30. "Does it really do that" indeed. Some of us may be asking our doctor for

an express prescription!

[Swamp Rat]

11. The Dude abides

:D

[Bolo Boffin]

13. And by "live" I mean

[TahitiNut]

14. I'd shave and resume my game of nine-pins.

:shrug:

[Truth2Tell]

15. Come to think of it....

Cleland would be an outstanding VP choice for any of our candidates, IMO.

[saltpoint]

34. Agree. One thought would be to avoid Walter Reade-type disgraces as

which have become pervasive under Bush and to recommit the nation to proper treatment to its veterans and their families and friends.

I think Max could preside over a Senate as veep to ensure that legislation reflects that recommitment.

And he'd be terrific on just about everything else, too.

[LandOLincoln]

17. I could live with it--heck yes--but those

pigs flying out of my ... nose, would hurt like blazes.

[politicasista]

18. Sounds good n/t

[saltpoint]

32. politicasista, I haven't had the opporturnity to say hello in

a while, so a big hello right now to ya.

[politicasista]

36. Hi OC

How are you doing? :hi:

[saltpoint]

42. Fair to midlin'. But very excited about all the fluctuations in the

political season. We're coming down to the home stretch to Iowa!

[emilyg]

19. I'd turn over and go back to sleep.

[Tejanocrat]

20. In this fantasy world, did Dodd ever come to his senses on the Downpayment Assistance Program?

[JDPriestly]

21. I could live with it because of his stance on the Constitution,

but I still would by far prefer Edwards. Dodd is not strong enough on the issue of corporate lobbyists.

[saltpoint]

33. I'll be voting for John Edwards in the primary. This is just a

glimpse at how people might feel if their very first favorites aren't on the ticket.

Kind of a "The Republic must go on" exercise.

[enigmatic]

22. Dodd's my pick

So I'd be elated.

[saltpoint]

49. Hi, enigmatic. He's a good man. The mainstream media is of course

ignoring most of our candidates.

Dodd would prosper under fairer media coverage.

[bridgit]

23. works for me, I like Dodd...and Max for that matter...

:kick:

[JeffR]

24. Acceptable?

I'd be delighted.

[saltpoint]

28. It would be just fine with me, too, JeffR. Two good people, they are,

and not oft mentioned as capable leaders, though I feel both would be.

[Yukari Yakumo]

25. I exclaim, "Who?" {nt}

uguu

[Hoof Hearted]

26. Damn Skippy.

I might even dance in the intersection, with a smile.

[saltpoint]

31. : )

[BlueIris]

27. Yeah, and that would suck because Michael Vartan would be married and telling me, "Since that night—

you've been missing...you've been missing for almost two years."

And then I would have to basically kill myself.

Okay, not really. At this point, I'm AnybodyButClinton, but I...wouldn't be loving that administration, that's for sure.

[mmonk]

35. Impossible but that would be great.

[AspenRose]

37. I'd feel like I could breathe again.

Definitely acceptable

[saltpoint]

44. There it is. Replacing Bush/Cheney with Dodd/Cleland or just about

any other Democratic ticket would prompt the same response in me.

Good way to put, and right to the point.

[LeftishBrit]

38. I think much of the world would breathe a sigh of relief!

[Mass]

40. Curious to see the reasons of those who voted NO? Dodd would be better than any of the Republicans

running and (IMHO) better than many Democrats and Cleland, though a little too conservative for me, is great.

[saltpoint]

43. Hi, Mass. Thanks for throwing in on this thread.

Good post, as always -- thank you.

True though it is that Dodd/Cleland may not be everyone's first choice, I was poking around the voting booth, so to speak, to see if people could adjust their only-my-favorite-first-choice goals into a broader party notion in which many but not every single person would feel a degree of satisfaction.

There's be better treatment of our veterans, for example, and better international relations, and I bet some strong Court picks.

[Bucky]

41. You cross a desert for a week. You're barely alive. Someone offers you diet coke. You hate diet coke

Drink it anyway?

[BuyingThyme]

45. Wow. Popular ticket.

[TheWraith]

47. Dodd/Cleland? How did that happen?

Cleland, okay, but did all the other presidential candidates suddenly die in the week leading up to Iowa?

[saltpoint]

48. It's true. You'll wake up tomorrow and Dodd/Cleland will be in the White House.

Is that cool, or what?

[fujiyama]

50. Could be a LOT worse

I think Dodd would make a good president.

[Raine]

51. I'd be thrilled! nt

[Perry Logan]

52. WHO!?

[saltpoint]

55. The Who you say. I LOVE The Who. I love WHO'S NEXT the best, but

I'm even happy with TOMMY and QUADROPHENIA.

A very competent band right now, but a perfect band when Moon and Entwhistle were still with us.

[cboy4]

53. They're Democrats. Right?

:thumbsup:

[saltpoint]

54. They are indeed! Neither gets much coverage for anything, and Dodd's a

candidate. I'm just trying out the idea that other Democrats other than one's very first favorite choices might do just fine in the White House.

Hope you're doing well these days out in the Golden Land.
