Buffalo

I was curious about who are the Democratic Party presidential candidates for this year. I googled it and found this link: Democratic Party presidential candidates, 2012 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I laughed at the name Vermin Supreme. I didn't know that he is a perennial candidate. Suppose he won the election.... President Supreme!!??? That sounds hilarious!

I was really hoping Hillary would run.

Maybe Obama will find an excuse for VP Biden to somehow get him to step down (e.g. aneurysm - Biden Healthy, But at Increased Risk for Aneurysm, Doctor Says | Fox News) and have Hillary be the VP?

Analysts say Hilary is not a likely pick for VP for Obama. I heard it on the radio earlier this week, and now I can't remember what the person's reasoning was. Dagnabbit!

I haven't seen any Dem candidates I like yet. I keep waiting.

It's like we are electing a Grand Poobah at the Waterbuffalo convention. It would be funny if it weren't so serious.

Looks like it wont be Obama....he totally lost the support of the unions yesterday. And they are a group of strong financial support. I wonder now whom they will throw their $$$$ behind.

How do you know? Link?

IMO and I've been active in the Union (APWU) for over 40 years, so I have an inside view of the union that you don't (unless, of course, you have been a life-long union member in someway).

Vermin Supreme? Now there's a name.....can't be real......

Beowulf

That's funny. The Unions I know are backing Obama.

Unions usually endorse Dems by default. Problem is, the NRA supporters vote Rep due to their anti-gun control stance, and there are a lot of NRA members in the unions I belonged to (Sheet metal workers, United Steelworkers).

There is no way the traditional manufacturing unions will ever swing republican, not as long as republicans continue to endorse outsourcing and shipping jobs overseas in the name of higher profit. Also, the vicious anti-union rhetoric of republicans for the past twenty-five years has not helped their cause at all and will take a long time to repair.

This O.P. is about Dem. candidiate for the president in 2012. Yes, the unions want a dem. president but will only settle for one who will bring create jobs in America. Obama has shown them that he is not the guy to do that (Keystone). Nor is he active in bring jobs home. So the unions are going to look elsewhere for someone better because they got fooled by the promises of 4 years ago.

Let the EXODUS begin. The Laborer's International Union of North American has gone on record of opposing Obama's policy.

Beowulf

They're most likely throwing in with Ron Paul.

Possible. I'm more concern with APWU. I'll be going to the local (Houston) meeting today and asking around about the union's position.

whatdidyousay!

I heard that Hilary is not going to be Obama VP running mate , Obama like
Joe Biden and will keep him. I keep hoping more Democrats candidates will run for president, but Obama is going the one the Democrats party will back up. At least this happening in my city.

Reba

You wish!

I cannot imagine Obama not being the Democratic nominee. The unions might not be thrilled with him; Democrats might be disillusioned that he has not done as well as expected; and there might not be the same huge wave of enthusiasm for him this time as there was 4 years ago. But for any party to toss over a sitting President for another candidate - the mind boggles. Short of him resigning for some reason (which I certainly don't see happening), he is the presumptive and I'm sure will be the actual candidate.

After wikileaks released documents stating she had told our dignitaries to spy on their foreign counterparts, she announced she was not going to run.

Dang. The Republican Party despises Ron Paul, I mean they really really despise him. If by chance he becomes the Republican nominee, it is not that far-fetched that the Republican Party throws its support behind Obama.

Hah. What does it matter, really? With no paper trail, what's to stop the powers that be get their way? A sense of propriety?

If people vote for a guy wearing a boot on his head I would not know who crazier Vermin Supreme or the voters!!

TXgolfer

It's really only one step from voting for a guy with a snazzy catch phrase.

When it comes time to vote Democrat.......
Vote for the lesser of two evils.

whatdidyousay!

I feel that way about both parties! Mitt Romney was governor of my state and now we have mandatory health insurance ,Obama got the idea of mandatory health insurance from a GOP. Both parties suck! If you think GOP are any better than Democrats you're fooling yourself! I do not trust neither party to be honest.
