Oh no, I hope she isn't running for president. She wouldn't win.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.
She made the comment that she wants to help the candidate make history or something like that.

at long last she can just let her hair grow it's natural color - lol

hey, I like her and think she is very fashionable
and i like her politics
i will miss her

but i can understand there comes a time when it all becomes just a bit too much

I would have thought Diane Fienstien would have retired first. :o

[owlstorm_9]

Clinton & Boxer as V.P. nominee?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Would be nice, but I think a woman will still have to have a guy on the ticket.
And you have the Far Left pushing Elizabeth Warren now. :o

[ericadawn16.livejournal.com]

Warren wouldn't win either. You need someone younger or at least younger seeming like Barbara Lee, Tammy Duckworth, Donna Edwards or Kirsten Gillibrand.

Two years ago, I thought they were setting up the Castro twins for bigger things. Now, it seems like maybe a VP position but...

In 2007, I thought Obama was going to be the VP choice so we might still end up with Joaquin for the Presidential Candidate with Duckworth or someone as VP.

I know everyone assumes Hillary will be the candidate but I don't know...she still epitomizes everything bad about liberals for a lot of people.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Gotta admit, I am still supporting Hillary. :)
I don't think the younger crowd of the Dems have enough of a name yet to go national like that.
I was pleasantly surprised that one of my Minnesotan Senators, Amy Klobachar, has been put out there for some of the lists of possible candidates. Nice to see her get some recognition. :)

[ericadawn16.livejournal.com]

I'm actually not that familiar with her.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's her problem, she's not known.

[ericadawn16.livejournal.com]

I actually saw a Warren for President bumper sticker today.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are some people really pushing for her.
The group moveon is too, and I am not happy about that. I wrote and told them if they are going to be a PAC for Warren, I would have to quit them.
If she would end up being the candidate I would support her, but for now she's not my candidate. :p

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

Is that a bad thing?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yes, because she is one of the good Liberal Democrats. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

you mean there àre GOOD Politicians?????

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yep, they are just few and far between.
Minnesota has a couple of really good Senators. At least in my opinion. :p

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

See??? You wouldn't be alone on the top if you went for it

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't go that high for now. Each state only gets two Senators. :p

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

and you would be perfect to be one of those.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

No, we have two really good ones right now. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you would be way better!!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

hmm.. had to think about what the subject was because the last comment I just made to you was about getting a guy into bed!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

We were taking about politics and Minnesota's Senators. LOL.........

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

yep I know now. But when I was reading you would be way better, i had to grins. :o) my mind was still with the Marry/date/dump-thing

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chaquir.livejournal.com]
