[KoKo]

Poll question: Which Democratic Candidate will the the Best one for DU'ers "Collective" Interests:

I throwing this out there knowing that DU'ers are very diversified....and that's why I ask.

1. With Obama, there will be no War with Iran.

So, we will all win.

[msongs]

2. obama favors economic sanctions on the iranian people - war by another method nt

[IndianaGreen]

8. Why was he AWOL on Kyl-Lieberman?

Hillary was there to vote to give Bush the go ahead to bomb Iran, while Dodd and Biden were there to deny Bush another war authorization.

[DemFemme]

19. Because NV Billary campaign chairman Rory's Reid daddy Harry pulled a bait-and-switch

Thanks for the Billary spokesman Harold Wolfson talking point, though. It deflects from Billary's
warmongering, neocon vote, doesn't it?

Obama was there until Reid said there wouldn't be a vote. Then Reid "changed" his mind while Obama was
at a NH rally, giving Obama only an hour to get back at surprise notice.

Besides, as most intelligent people know, his nay vote wouldn't have made a difference as the measure passed
with the help of Vichy Democrats like Billary by large margin.

20. dupe

14. Unfortuantely, the bombardment will likely start long before the next President take office.

[Colobo]

30. I wonder what Dem Senators have helped that to happen...

[jody]

3. Interesting question because IMO DUers are polarized on several issues such that "Collective"

Interests or something like a compromise is virtually impossible.

[flvegan]

4. Kucinich.

Peace over greed/politics is in our best interests, I'd say.

[IndianaGreen]

5. Biden can get elected and he will end the war!

The war is the most important issue because as long as we are throwing money at the war machine, there won't be any money for any of the social programs we all love.

27. Second!!!

:thumbsup:

[youthere]

32. "Thirded!"

[youthere]

33. "Thirded!"

[youthere]

34. Oops that was a dupe...how about "fourthed!!"

[More Than A Feeling]

6. Other: The Borg. They are the only ones who truly serve the interests of "The Collective."

Sorry for my zaniness!:silly:

[TheDoorbellRang]

7. A poll including Gore? Thank you!

K&R for President Gore.

[seasat]

9. Richardson

He has the experience of pushing legislation through resistant legislatures even when the legislation is controversial. He'd end the war immediately. He's got a very solid plan on reducing green house gas emissions and has pushed through a solid plan in NM. He's got the best record on civil rights. He has the experience to engage other countries and rebuild international relationships.

[KoKo]

10. Apoligize for oversite...I just included him...sorry...n/t

[seasat]

11. No need for apologies.

I still support the guy but he's become the Rodney Dangerfield of candidates around here at DU, lately. Realistically, he needs a break out performance at the next debate to regain some of his earlier momentum.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Who cares about DUer's interests? I prefer to vote in the...

nation's interest.

[KoKo]

25. I dunno...but so many of us have spent alot of time on this site...I'd think we'd know

more about the Candidates than the M$M and much of the general (tuned out) public. :shrug:

[ozone_man]

13. What? You took my candidate away.

Put back Gravel! :)

So, I voted for Kucinich, because he is running and he best reflects DU progressive nature.

Gore would be my first choice if he was running. He's not nearly as progressive as Kucinich, but his anti-war, environmental positions, and experience/electablility are factors for me.

Winning isn't everything. We have to ask what we won if we elect a DINO. If we come down to an election between to corporate candidates, I will probably vote independent.

[KoKo]

15. understand what you say... I did leave off Gravel....sorry...

[ozone_man]

16. Just kidding with you.

I think he is in it just to add to the debate. He's not afraid to say what has to be said.

[gateley]

17. Biden - his focus goes beyond Iraq and Iran. He understands the need for

good U.S. relations with the rest of the middle east. The other day he communicated with Pakistan, President Musharraf to express concern and encourage strong security for former Prime Minister Bhutto as she returns to the country.

He has the big picture firmly in mind - what's needed to ensure cooperation and peace for the U.S. in the future.

Our future in the world is in our collective best interests.

[monmouth]

18. Biden is moving slowly up with each poll....People are waking up??

[Think82]

21. I can only hope they are. BIDEN, PEOPLE!

[Froward69]

28. They are

I get asked all the time for a Biden sticker. I saw my first Rudy sticker Today. Found a second Hillary supporter.

[KoKo]

22. Kucinich is going strong on this one..And, it's only posted in GD Polictics Forum...

What does this say?

[KoKo]

23. kick...

[KoKo]

24. Amazing...there aren't many folks here in DU Politics who care to do Internal Polling it seems.

But for all the Clinton Froo Fah...seems Kucinich gets the votes.

What's Up with that? :shrug:

[janx]

26. Of those currently running, Richardson.

People on these boards ignore him, but if they knew more about his experience and accomplishments, they might be a lot more interested in him.

[Froward69]

29. he has made too many national mistakes

[saltpoint]

31. Dick Durbin.

Kathleen Sebelius.

Russ Feingold.
