[UpsideDownFlag]

Poll question: who is the democrat you would most like to sit down and have a beer with?

(living)

for the purposes of this thread, i only included politicians. use the 'other' option liberally if you'd prefer a celeb.

[AlCzervik]

1. Jon Stewart n/t

[Worst Username Ever]

7. He's a registered independant!

Although you wouldn't know it. Colbert is a dem, though.

[Doomsayer13]

2. Ted Kennedy

he's supposed to be a very funny and amicable fellow.

[bif]

3. Howard Dean

Why isn't he on the list?

[BlueEyedSon]

6. Another for Dean

[cali]

11. and

another

[terrya]

4. So many, but I'd love to chat with Bill Clinton.

The conversation would be delightful. Such a brilliant man.

[The empressof all]

5. Barney Frank

I think he'd be a hoot and a half to get tipsy with.

[Forkboy]

14. He'd be my pick too

He's hilarious as it is!

[gWbush is Mabus]

8. DEAN

[John Q. Citizen]

9. Kerry

He's going to be the next president of the US.

[robbedvoter]

10. Wes Clark. And Clinton too

[derrald]

12. I'm not gonna get Kerry drunk on the day of the debate! Are you nuts?!

But Clinton and I are going to take a shot everytime Bush says uh.

[MatrixEscape]

13. I would pick ...

Ted over the rest, only because he has a lot of history I would like to talk about over a beer or, knowing Ted, two, three, etc., rinse - repeat.

[Sputnik]

15. Wes, oh yes.

Wesley Clark. But if he's busy, I'd be content with Kerry, Clinton, Gore, or Obama.

[wtmusic]

16. Zell Miller

I'd get him shitfaced on the floor and take pictures. :evilgrin:

[Hand]

19. Dammit...

Beat me to it! Except I was gonna get him plastered then kick his sorry ass and take his wallet...

:evilgrin:

[wtmusic]

21. R.O.T.F.G.F.A...

good 'un! :D

[UpsideDownFlag]

29. i thought about adding him, but there were too many real people i wanted.

lol.

[Astarho]

47. When he's drunk I'd bet he'll really let loose

with a rant that would make his Repub convention look dull.

[liveoaktx]

17. Dick Durbin- I always enjoy hearing him speak, concise

to the point, very statesmanlike.

[FunnyLady]

18. Still a Deaniac

Howard Dean of course!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. John Lewis or Cynthia McKinney

John Lewis for his memories of the civil rights movement and Cynthia because she has guts.

[VaYallaDawg]

22. Hillary Clinton, no question!!

Would love to pick her brain (and she's got plenty of it!!)

[Selwynn]

23. 1) Bill Clinton 2) Howard Dean 3) Jon Stewart . Reasons:

I'm fascinated by Bill Clinton. I didn't agree a lot of his politics, and yet I found myself agreeing with some of his underlying philosophy.

I am also fascinated by Howard Dean, and would love to talk to him about many things.

Jon Stewart would just be a lot of fun. :)

[Hobarticus]

24. The Big Dawg buys a round for all of 'em....

Count me in.

[RapidCreek]

25. Dick Durbin

RC

[wrate]

26. Robert Kennedy Jr. He was on CSPAN the other day and I finally understood

the reasons why this people have the reputation they have. Admirable people indeed.

[AmerDem]

34. He would be my second choice

good man!

[democratreformed]

27. Wes Clark n/t

[burrowowl]

28. Senator Byrd eom

[Kanary]

30. Since neither of us drink beer, I'm voting DENNIS!! ^_^

Actually, I can't imagine a finer conversation, with lots to learn, PLUS.......

SOMEONE WHO WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN!!!!

On the other hand, we won't have him around forever, so I'd really love to have some time with Robert Byrd. There's so much to learn from that fine, old gentleman!!

Kanary, who would *love* to have one of those handy, dandy pocket constitutions from the Grand Old Man himself. :)

[JohnLocke]

31. Robert Byrd (nt).

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

32. Any democat will do.

I need a beer and I don't drink with Republicans.

I voted for Kerry because I feel like he's not getting props in this poll.

RE the having a beer with Bush thing: Do people realize if he has even one drink, he will probably go on a binge that lasts for days? Shouldn't it be, "I'd rather choke down an O'Doul's with Bush than drink a Busch with Kerry?"

[ElsewheresDaughter]

33. Paul Wellstone...i'll catch up with him later and buy him a beer

[Rabelais]

35. Howard Dean

probably the most likeable person I have ever seen in politics.

[NoPasaran]

36. Howard Dean

My treat.

[KansDem]

37. Tally Briggs

At least I think she's a Democrat:

Here are a few of her "rants""
http://www.geocities.com/bardgal/rants.html

[K-W]

38. Come on people, Kennedy, that man has STORIES.

And that man knows a good time.

[jean]

39. Elizabeth Edwards

[UpsideDownFlag]

40. only EIGHT people want to drink a beer with the next president??

priorities, people.

[UdoKier]

41. Paul Wellstone, may he rest in peace

He seemed like someone you could really just talk to. And his kids seem so cool - the type everybody wants to be friends with - no because they're cool or popular, but because they're just so damn nice.

[RichardRay]

42. The Big Dawg, then the General, but best of all would be

Molly. I think she'd be a wonderful conversationalist and she probably gets very funny when she's had a couple of beers (since she's pretty darn fun to read even when both she and I are totally straight).

Richard Ray - Jackson Hole, WY

[UpsideDownFlag]

43. i expect a lot more votes for kerry now that he kicked it in the debates.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

44. jim hightower

though i have before

he's a good guy, that hightower

[deadmessengers]

45. It's gotta be the Dawg.

[ChocolateSaltyBalls]

46. Al Sharpton.

.

[Sugarbleus]

49. I was gonna say Al Sharpton. Wes Clark is great also!

I kinda like Jamie Rubin lately too...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

48. Where's Wesley Clark? That's who I want to have a beer with.

[alexisfree]

50. Bush Team Prepares Net Assault

wired news:

For the millions of television viewers who tune in to the first presidential debate in Miami Thursday night, the event will probably seem scripted, familiar and maybe even cordial. And for good reason. The Republican and Democratic parties worked out detailed ground rules, all but promising that the televised debates will be uneventful.

But both campaigns plan to take off their gloves on the internet. In some respects, the real debate, or a better semblance of one, will take place in cyberspace.
