Question...
First off, let me say that I agree with a lot of TW's picks. I don't think I'd put Hillary at number 1, but I think he's a bit more of an idealist than I am. I agree that O'Bama is a great man, I think we'll see some amazing things from him in the next 10 years...plus he's got charisma coming out of every pore. I've always been a Dean-Head. I actually supported Dean in the primaries and was quite upset when he didn't receive the party nomination. I, too, don't necessarily think he's "presidential material" but having him somehow involved in 2008 can only help the party (I mean, look what he did with grassroots campaigning in '04. The Kerry campaign took a few lessons from him).
But I do have an important question (kind of fun) for some of you hardcore dems:
Would you ever vote a republican into office?
Usually people have a pretty strong opinion on this subject, so I'd like your feedback. Now, I know that you're probably thinking of John McCain when I ask this question, but I don't necessarily mean him. It's more of a conceptual question. i.e. Would you ever be able to support a republican presidential candidate? And don't forget to consider all of the aspects of this -- ex: Bush doesn't endorse him/her even though they're republican...They're moderate enough to actually get elected...etc.
Alright, go to it.

I think I would. I've said before that if McCain would've beat Bush in the '00 primaries (of course, he could have if Bushies hadn't called people telling them he had an illegitimate black child, when in fact, he had adopted a girl from Cambodia) I might have voted for him. Since then, though, my opinion of Gore has improved. After reading about him a bit more, I realized how smart he was and how much I agreed with him. I guess, to make a long answer short: Yes. I could vote for a republican, I just don't know of any out there right now that I would vote for. It would have to be a super-moderate, socially-liberal republican and the democrat would have to be Joe Lieberman or Tom Daschle, but it's not beyond the realm of possibilities.
