I'd like to claim Senator John Edwards please if that's possible of course, but if it were outside those candidates perhaps Mark Warner or Al Gore!

Yeah to add variation, I think allowing any viable Democrat would be fine. Which one do you want?

[NeverAgain]

I'll start this up tomorrow afternoon. Grab your friends in on this, I'd love to see Hill-Dawg, Biden, and Kucinich here if at all possible. Thanks all for this fast reaction, excited to get this underway!

[NeverAgain]

Looks like this is going to be a doozy! I'll be starting another thread tomorrow afternoon. Until then, I wish you all luck and may the best Democrat win!

[NeverAgain]

I'll take Donald Trump.

You are running as a Democrat, yes?

[NeverAgain]

I will give this another hour or two. I have the rules and stuff ready in another thread so if y'all could hop over there, that'd be great!

[NeverAgain]

I'll take Donald Trump.

You are running as a Democrat, yes?

Yes. He was still a democrat at this time.

Just making sure.

[NeverAgain]

Can I run as Jimmy Carter???

I would like to make this as real as possible. If you feel that Carter is your favorite and only choice then you can have him, I would urge you to pick a more realistic candidate as an 84 year old Carter is not really the "vibe" this country was going for.

I'm not feeling Al Sharpton makes any sense either 🙊

aye, he kind of does. He was exploring in '08 and ran in '04, though extremely unsuccessful he's basically a Kucinich-esque candidate.

He was also considering running again, before ruling it out after Obama started his campaign.

[NeverAgain]

I'm not feeling Al Sharpton makes any sense either 🙊

He almost ran in 2008, to be fair, but I'd give up Sharpton if we can avoid the chaos of having an 82 year old failed President running.

CC has changed already.
