Question: How politically divided are we as a nation?
If you are…

I couldn’t think of one either.
September 29th, 2005 at 7:16 pm
I am a liberal
I would have to say John McCain.
September 29th, 2005 at 8:30 pm
I dunno. Zell Miller, maybe?
September 29th, 2005 at 8:36 pm
No, wait! Can I change mine? Charles Hill says he’s still a registered Democrat, so I say him.

I shudder at whatever the heck it was Sean was thinking and/or drinking.

Come to think of it, the late Edward King Gaylord was a registered Democrat, and he was somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.

This experiment isn’t quite panning out as I envisioned. Now I’m trying to imagine a dustbury party platform.

My nod would go to John McCain as far as Republicans go. I know that I would strongly disagree with him on a lot of issues, but would have been able to respect his leadership abilities. As unabashedly “lefty” as I am, I went to the polls in the 2000 primary in Missouri (where I lived at the time) to cast my vote for McCain. My reasoning: I figured that in the event that Gore lost the election that I’d rather have a competent conservative rather than an incompetent one – and Bush the lesser appeared to me at the time to be in over his head. I also very much resented at the time how the Bush team had smeared the veteran McCain.
Other than that, I’d be intrigued to know more about Gen. Honore, who seemed to really step into the vacuum as far as the Katrina catastrophe went, and provided some much-needed leadership.

Quick footnote: I’m making no assumptions about Honore’s political affiliation. Whether he swings Dem, Repub, or is independent or whatever, I was impressed enough with his efforts at restoring some sense of sanity in LA & MS.

If John McCain is the Republican nominee, I will grit my teeth and pull the lever (okay, we don’t have levers, but you get the idea) for Hillary Clinton.
(One of the best things about General Honore is that we don’t know his political affiliation: he’s presumably more interested in getting the job done than in seeing where the credit for it is allocated.)

I’m not keen on any of them either, but if I had to pick…
Democrat – Kucinich
Republican – I’ll have to keep thinking on that one.
September 30th, 2005 at 9:31 am
As Democrat/liberal it hurts to pick anyone, but I have to go with the crowd and say John McCain.
McCain would at least be a president with some kind of record of accomplishment, class and demonstrated integrity.
Of course, this is assuming there is NO Democrat to vote for.

Chuck Hagel for repubs, Conyers for dems
October 1st, 2005 at 8:16 am
As a registered Republican but committed independent, I suppose I’d say:
Repubs – McCain
Dems – Feingold

I’m a registered Independent. If I had to pick a Republican–oh sweet honey mustard!–right now, I’d be inclined to go for Condi Rice. As far as picking a Democrat goes–!!!!!!–despite his age, there really isn’t anyone except Zell Miller.

I’ve been sticking with third parties since Ross Perot gave us the Reform Party. Most recently, in NYC, I’d been a registered member of the Working Families Party. What I’d really like to see is Condi vs Hillary for 2008.

Here’s another GOP vote for Charles G. Hill, with Zell Miller as an acceptable second choice.
