Will Zell Miller endorse * in 2004?
I could see him doing it, unless maybe Lieberman is the nominee. Now we all know that Miller is a DINO and a Bush sychophant, but many other less-political Americans do not. To them he is just another Democratic senator. If he were to endorse * the media spin could suggest that the Democratic candidate is "imploding" or that Democrats are "jumping off the boat". And remember that Miller is retiring in 2004 and is not constrained by having any future political ambitions.

1. No.
He's a yellow dog. He endorses every Democrat, no matter what their ideology.

3. No
DINO as he is, he's still pretty loyal to the party it seems, which is why he didn't jump last year. I've heard the GOP have been pretty nasty to him in local politics, so he probably isn't too fond of them. My bet is he remains silent and endorses no one.

4. Zell will endorse Joe
Those two are great friends and share ideological similarities. Joe, by the way, is the Democrats' only hope next year. Some of you may not like it, but it's the truth.

5. Joe Lieberman: The best candidate Ralph Nader could hope for
The Greenies will poll at least 5% with Joe L. as the nominee. I have no beef with him a Senator, usually a good reliable Democratic vote, but as a candidate he is the shitz. I could just see him in a debate with *:

*: My opponent has a burning hatred of America. He despises America and loathes the military!

Lieberman: Well, I respectfully disagree with the President...

8. * couldn't make that quote about Joe
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 11:12 PM by Videlicet03
Joe supported the troops. I would also like to remind you that Lieberman was the stronger half of the team that won the popular vote in 2000. Right team. Wrong order. Joe wouldn't have allowed it to slip away.

9. So did Max Cleland
And we were told that he hated America and was a gutless coward.

He is no longer serving as senator from Georgia.

12. Oh, he was great on "Meet the Press"
He capitulated completely to Tim Russert's badgering, thus allowing hundreds of illegally cast overseas absentee ballots and basically making it impossible for the Gore team to make their case.

6. You really think so?
I don't. I really don't feel Lieberman stands much of a chance because of him being too conservative. The nation isn't going to vote in a faux Republican when they have in the White House already.

13. Leiberman doesn't stand a chance in the Primary
This is a good thing, because he has even less of a chance in the general election. Lieberman will not only lose the votes of the left wing of the Democratic party, but he will lose the middle as well. If people want to vote for a Republican, they will vote for the real thing.

20. DING DING DING! You are correct sir...tell 'em what he Johnny!
Same goes to the rest of these wolves in sheep's clothing. One I can't stand is this dickhead mayor of Ft. Lauderdale, who is 150% repuke, BUT, he's runs as democrat and gets elected...and the only reason he probably did so is because there is NO WAY IN HELL a republiKKKan could get elected mayor of one of the biggest gay meccas on Earth! This clod passed a ton of retarded city ordinances and just destroyed the nightlife of not just Ft. Liquordale, but most all of Broward country thanks to it's ripple affect. JUST SAY NO TO FAKE DEM's!!!!!

10. I doubt it.
He really does endorse every Democrat, even if it were Barbara Streisand. In fact, his crappy endorsements of his fellow Georgia Dems in 2002 probably made them lose. He will either endorse the Dem nominee or endorse no one.

14. True...
but at that point everybody believed that she had Bush was responsible for September 11, right after it happened. Greg Palast later proved that assertion to be a right wing lie.
