Schweitzer baby (none / 0)


Who do we want???

  1. A straight talking, charasmatic SOB.  

  2. Someone who brings in serious EVs in a state or region.

  3. At least some foreign policy experience.

  4. Someone with a sympathetic ear for progressives (at least).

Those ALL describe Brian Schweitzer:

#1 and #4 are pretty obvious.

#2-- he probably bring in CO, NV and NM (Schweitzer-Richardson ticket???)- or 18 EVs.

#3-- he worked in the middle east in private sector for years.  Since the asshats (my word of the day) running the war seem to equate private service with military service, seems they'd have a tough time critiquing him on this.

And yeah yeah- I know he said people drafting him are "kooky"-- but if he moves up in some of these straw polls and it becomes obvious he'd win a lot of western primaries and compete in places like NH (where his style would be loved- see McCain) - it becomes a lot less Kooky.

Would you hire George W Bush to be YOUR latex salesman?

I think that Schweitzer summed it up best --

Anyone who offers his name up as a possible candidate in 2008 is "loony".

I really, really like him.  But he is without a doubt not running.

Re: Schweitzer baby (none / 0)

This is a 2008 candidate poll.  Schweitzer is not an option.  He's not interested, not going to run, and wouldn't be ready for it if he were.  Schweitzer for MT governor in 2008, yay!  Schweitzer for president?  Maybe in a 2012 poll.
