Originally posted by kirksey957I think so too. John Kerry for president and Jonn Edwards for vice-president.
If he can't win in New Hampshire next week, I'm afraid it may be over for him as I don't think he will get a single southern state. OK, my prediction: a ticket made up of some combination of John Kerry and John Edwards.
England had a few Georges as king as well. To bad Dubya has no son...Americans tend to have quite sensible revolts whenever George III takes power.

All of you who will vote in the 2004 US Presidential Election: I won't be able to vote, as I will be 17, but please vote for John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party and make my voice heard 😛

John Kerry running for presz...with John Edwards as v-presz would be a tough ticket to beat...combo of north and south.....George Bush could have a tough time winning re-election....and where does this leave Hilary Clinton? seems like she is looking forward to 2008.....but if a democrat wins....just some thoughts from an undecided voter....would like to hear others opinions.....

Originally posted by royalchickenRead their platform on abortion and education. Then think about what it's like in the Bible Belt. Imagine a string of states where creationism was taught in the schools and abortions, though legal, weren't provided (because they could only be privately funded). Sorry, but I'm not a big advocate of state's rights when it comes to these issues. I'm voting for the person with the best chance of beating the the incumbent Prince of Darkness.
In the meantime, enfranchise a chicken and vote NLP!
There was quite an interesting feature on BBC Radio 4 recently where they suggested that no American was likely to be voted president (or they were more likely to be voted, I can't remember exactly) unless they had a southern accent, more specifically Texan, I think.
They went into detail discussing why this might be, but I don't think they had any firm answers, just that it seemed to make people like and/or trust them more.
PS. I saw Howard Dean on TV recently for the first time. I don't know what his policies are, but he seemed a bit excited, even ending his speech with a frenzied crescendo and a 'yeehaw!'. 😲
Originally posted by VargNow there's a question (to which I don't know the answer): when was the last time a left-wing candidate (Democrat, Republican, or Whig depending on how far back you go) from the North became President?
