3. Impeach and indict the criminals, repeal PATRIOT ACT and NAFTA, healthcare for citizens

restore our Constitution and way past time for a Department of Peace...

Dennis Kucinich has my vote, support and activism again.

[superkia]

36. You state some of the many reasons I also support DK!

What I don't get is why I don't see posts like this about other candidates, describing why people support them? There are so many reasons for everyone to support DK but I fight to see how the other candidates look better on allot of these same important issues but they have plenty of support?

[bigwillq]

4. DK!

:bounce:

[gateley]

5. Biden. I've never been more sure of my support for a candidate. nt

7. Someone should take the results from all these polls and make a graph.

See if anyone is visually trending one way or the other.

9. I wish Edwards would drop out of the election

The most important issue in this election to my mind is the war in Iraq, and war in general.

In the last election, Edwards was a hawk. This election Edwards is changing his rhetoric and trying to give the image of a dove.

What does a vote for Edwards say about the war?

Even if we elect a Democrat hawk, I would like to at least see a valid referendum on the war.

I have a whole lot of other reasons why I wish Edwards would drop but I think this is by far the most predominant.

10. I am a Bidenite!

[MichDem10]

11. Edwards - No Doubt!!

[Hepburn]

12. ABH here....

....anyone but Hillary.

[ElizabethDC]

13. Wow, Biden's really on fire these days; Hillary is doing a lot better as well

Obama seems to be lagging.

15. Kick! nt

16. Proud Bidenite here... have been for a few years now

[bobthedrummer]

17. .

[Anser]

18. In a country as rich as ours...

Edwards is the only one I trust to actually do something about the poverty that makes life so difficult for so many Americans.


Quick question: What is the fascination with Biden? He seems hawkish and socially conservative compared to the rest of the democrative field.

[Think82]

22. you are ill-informed. time ot get past sound-bytes. Here some starting points:

28. Anser...

Please take the time to look closer at Biden. I was originally leaning Obama, and never gave Joe a second thought. Then his Iraq plan caught my attention...the more I listen to him, and the more I learn about him, the more convinced I am that he is the right candidate. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...even if you don't support him, I think you'll come away with more confidence in the sr. Senator from Delaware.

[Colobo]

19. DU is so different from the rest of the country...

Only over here Kucinich is a top tier candidate.

[Andrew_Lindsey]

21. Yeah, don't let it get ya down..

As a Hillary supporter I lurk more than post in these parts, but where else can you come relax with a couple hundred fellow libs willing to argue your same points against you? ha ha.

[Colobo]

20. Obama until the end.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. I've only crossed Edwards and (just recently) Obama off my list.

I had even donated to Obama's campaign. I'd like a refund on that, please.

25. Another DU poll that shows how far

that DUers are not exactly representative of Dem voters at large.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. What I don't get...

Assuming that this poll somewhat reflects the political leanings on DU (and I understand that's a big assumption), why is every other thread about Hillary or Obama when only about 25% of us are in their corner?

[murbley40]

27. kick

[bobthedrummer]

29. That's a good question Jeff. Also with whatever our membership really is why so few participate.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

30. Another good point...

As of this moment, only 200 votes cast. And we've got a Brazillion members.

[bobthedrummer]

31. It would be nice to have a few thousand, since all announced candidates are listed

[bobthedrummer]

32. .

[Basileus Basileon]

33. Looks like Obama's taken a real hit here after the McClurken deal.

[More Than A Feeling]

34. Man, Dodd gets little love around here compared to, say Daily Kos.

I'm for Edwards, but Dodd is my strong number two.

[bobthedrummer]

35. Thousands and thousands of DUers and only 222 votes for all Democratic candidates

:shrug:
