A poll on loyalty

[Stinky The Clown]

Poll question: A poll on loyalty

Here ya go, boys and girls. A poll to see how loyal you are to your 04 dreamboat.

Let's keep this simple and flame-free.

NO NAMES ALLOWED

The question is real simple ...... Yes or No: Do you continue to support for 08 whoever it was you supported in the 04 primaries?

To make it at least a bit interesting, tell us why - but without naming or using obvious references to your guy.

"I still support those four stars" is a non-starter.

"Because he blew it in the general election" is also a non-starter, as is "He just got married".

"He sucks, and "He rocks" are okay.

[Nicole]

Yep, I'm still with him

I think he is the most qualified for the job.

[MrSlayer]

1. I still support my guy.

Because he truly understands what needs to be done both at home and abroad and can get those things done.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. That's kinda not what I had in mind ....

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you forgot what's in your sig line.

[whistle]

2. There is no reason to support a candidate who said he would

...fight for every vote before the election, raised millions of dollars in support of the promise, then threw in the towel on the morning following the election. It won't work with me a second time, new blood is what the democratic party needs now.

[MissWaverly]

4. I am with you, a broken promise is a broken promise

[JohnnyLib]

3. at this point,

my new "guy" is a gal

[mcscajun]

5. Indeed I do, now more than ever.

:patriot:

[snowbear]

6. But.. but... but...

if it was worded..

"Do you still support the INITIAL candidate you chose, even if he wasn't ultimately the nominee"

or

"Do you still support the nominee in 2004"

You'd get a lot of different answers.

Betcha 70-80% (or more) of us had "initial" choices who weren't the eventual nominee...

[Stinky The Clown]

8. The question was about your primary choice

As stated in the OP: "Yes or No: Do you continue to support for 08 whoever it was you supported in the 04 primaries?"

[snowbear]

11. Oops.. I didn't catch that!

[0007]

14. LOL!!

[WatchWhatISay]

7. Yes, but he won't run

Same thing for the one that ran in 2000.

Although both of them are doing a lot of good in their own way.

[patrice]

9. Because we, each and every one of us, must be the Solution(s),

not the powers that be.

[daveskilt]

12. Other - I am hoping that someone who didnt run in 04 will be running in 08

[davidwparker]

13. No, because my guy is head of the DNC now and won't run.

My #2 and #3 are going to run. I hope they get together assuming Gore doesn't run.

[Guaranteed]

15. Hey! My guy's head of the DNC, too....

Weird. :P

[PassingFair]

22. This is CRAZY!

:crazy:

Mine is TOO!

I still support him in every way.
Look at the change he has brought
about in the party already.

Joe is gone, and the rest are
on notice.

The good doctor KNOWS how to rout
an infection.

[ArkySue]

16. Stuck like glue...

...to my guy, (my guy). Everybody sing along! LOL!

Actually, my guy has all the required skill sets to set the nation back on the right course. And in Spades!

[Catchawave]

17. Yes.

:loveya:

[primative1]

18. I supported Noone in the 04 Primaries

My view in 04 was I would go to the wall supporting ANYONE we ran to take down BushCo.
I would like to think my view in 08 can be more optimistic but time will tell on that one.
Right now my take is, give me a candidate and let me get to work.

[NMDemDist2]

19. I started supporting him in 2002

seems a shame to bug out now yanno?

[last_texas_dem]

20. Other, 'cause

it's too difficult for me to determine who I supported in '04! I held out for Gore until he announced he wasn't running, donated to Edwards in the primary, volunteered for Kerry in the primary (and eventually volunteered for and donated to him in the general), and voted for Kucinich in the primary (and Kerry/Edwards in the general election). So it's tough to say exactly who I supported; though I'd probably say Edwards overall. And in terms of '08, my favorites are Gore, Edwards, and Feingold, so in a way I'm sticking with my favored candidate(s) from '04, but still open to another possibility.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Names! Names! NO Names! The Game of NO Names!

From the OP: "To make it at least a bit interesting, tell us why - but without naming or using obvious references to your guy."

[last_texas_dem]

23. Haha, I need to work on my reading comprehension skills!

In my defense, I did just get off of a ten-hour graveyard shift so I'm not quite at the peak of my awareness!

[Stinky The Clown]

24. You did what?

[last_texas_dem]

27. Hey, I like that picture

Nice and creepy... I'm not sure what it's from, but it makes me think of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland for some reason!

[Lilith Velkor]

25. He's still a dreamboat

:loveya:

[rep the dems]

26. I was never completely settled on one candidate in '04.

I've always been more political than most people my age, but I couldn't seem to decide between all of them.

[alvarezadams]

28. Definition of "other"

I voted ABB - for the last time I voted not for beliefs but out of anger.

Did I like Kerry? Not at all. Dean would make a good eminence gris. Kucinich was closer to my beliefs but he's unelectable.

I'm waiting and watching this time around but I am NOT sanguine.

[Awsi Dooger]

29. No, because this is an open race, not vs. an incumbent

My '04 choice could have pulled from the center, vital in ousting an incumbent.

The '08 choice, IMO, has the most logical path to 270+ electoral votes.
