KPCC Election 2008

Which presidential candidate would you like to bring back?

We now have a presumptive Republican nominee, and the Democratic race has come down to two final combatants, but many other candidates on both sides have fallen over the course of this primary season.

On the Democratic side, we saw Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, and Mike Gravel (technically still running – possibly as both a Democrat and a Libertarian!).

For the Republicans, we had Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul (also still running, sort of), Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, and a candidate now going after the Constitution Party nomination, Alan Keyes.

Which candidate do you wish was still in the race? If you could wave a magic wand and bring back any presidential hopeful from the political dead, which would it be? Post your answer below, and tell us why!

    Al Gore (Can we do that??)

    The answer is obvious to me. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. From world diplomacy experience, understanding the congress, a firm grasp on the energy crisis, and lastly one of the first to explain how one coulkd disengage from the occupation of Iraq. A Governor, Executive, to head the ship of state as a seasoned Captain!
