"STAND UP AND BE COUNTED" ALL-DU POLL, NON-ANONYMOUS

[FlyingSquirrel]

Ok I'm starting over here, so if you posted yours before, please do so again in this thread. This time only people who choose to participate will be included.

Which candidate are you either supporting or leaning toward as of right now?

If you change your mind later, just post again further down in the thread.

Only people who post will be included in the poll. Just like only people who vote in the many anonymous polls on DU are counted. Just like only people who actually send in their ballot or go to their polling place have their vote counted in real life.

If there is anyone who still has issues with this, please post those issues in the following thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2545358&mesg_id=2545358

or start your own thread and link to it, so as not to cause this one to be locked or removed... for the sake of those who DO wish to take part in this poll. They should be given the opportunity.

Mine: First choice Edwards, Close second Biden.

[JeffR]

1. Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich represents my views, but he hasn't made any inroads.

[last_texas_dem]

200. My feelings exactly

[Mz Pip]

Oh hell, why not? I'll vote for any of them in the general but as of now I'll push the button for Biden who at least doesn't talk in soundbites. Maybe he's wordy but sometimes issues need more than a 10 second soundbite.

:bounce:

P.S. nathanhale and Jennifer C - you came in just after I finished totalling numbers & percentages, so I'll include your votes (and everyone after them) in next update.

[Seabiscuit]

67. Edwards.

I still love Dennis, but I don't think he knows how to run a Presidential campaign, and I really think we need someone like him in the House of Representatives.

[Sparkly]

79. 1. It Depends. 2. Kucinich.

It depends on what's going on by the time Maryland gets to vote. If there's a real race between two candidates, I'd vote for one of them, especially if one of them is a candidate I strongly do not want to see get the nomination. (There's only one of those.) If it's a done deal by then, I'll probably vote for Kucinich.

101. I wonder if Gore would let 'em run a write-in campaign if that happened.

It would be interesting.........

Our electoral system is in desperate need of help.

[NoPasaran]

[Plucketeer]

92. Edwards is IT!

My pick to lead from '09 thru '17

[zanne]

93. Obama. nt

[mtnsnake]

94. Kucinich-Clinton

In a general election, I'll also be confident that Obama and Edwards could beat the Republicans, too, but Kucinich and Clinton are my first two choices of who I'd prefer to see in the WH.

[Sparkly]

97. That's interesting.

I like how your two choices go against the "common wisdom." :hi:

[mtnsnake]

100. Those two have been my first two choices throughout the primaries

Most times, I'm caught up so much in defending the Clintons from the lies and innuendo spewn about them here, so some people think that Hillary has been my first and only choice all along. Kucinich has always been my heartfelt first choice and I've documented that in several other threads quite some time ago.

I think I know what you mean about how my two choices go against "common wisdom" here. The way I look at it, I don't limit myself to having one narrow set of values when it comes to picking the candidates I like the most. There are parts of me that love the best things that the most progressive candidates, like Dennis Kucinich, have to offer, and there are parts of me that loves what Hillary has to offer. Sometimes, people on DU are somehow under the illusion that if you like someone who's moderate, you can't possibly like someone who's leftist. That is narrow minded and just plain wrong. My umbrella is large enough to consider the best combinations of Democratic values out there, not just one set. :)

:hi:

[FlyingSquirrel]

102. I like that... an unintended consequence of this poll

People being able to correct misconceptions that others have of them (regarding their choice of candidate). It's kinda nice - hope it spreads a bit of calm in an otherwise very antagonistic & quarrelsome place!

149. John Edwards, Barack Obama - If Kucinich were viable, then it'd be DK, JE, BO

And if Hilary is to become the nominee, I shall either mail in my ballot with JE as write-in, or not vote at all.

I will not repeat my act of 2004 wherein I held my nose and voted Kerry. My vote was irrelevant then, and I simply will not vote DLC now. I can not and will not give my vote, as is my right, to HRC in any way, shape or manner.

[FlyingSquirrel]

182. Well since nobody has voted yet in real life......

I'll put you DK, JE, BO for now :-)

Her votes for IWR are the same as most of the other candidates.
She is a female in a man's world
She was vilified by the media for about a decade--did some of those lies stick?
She has a progressive agenda and a progressive record.
she stayed with her cheating husband.

What is the basis for your hate?

187. Biden, then Edwards

[murbley40]

188. Biden

[Hepburn]

191. Anybody but Hillary ~~ that is my first choice

I don't like her and I have never liked her and this started long before she ran for POTUS. I wish to hell she was not running because I strongly believe that she will lead to one of the POS Pubbies being elected as POTUS in November if, gawd forbid, she is our nominee.

I just don't trust her and she is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too conservative and waaaaaaaaay too hawkish and corporate loving for me. She comes across as insincere, uncaring and phony.

I like Obama, but I am not enthusiastic and I like Edwards but his support of the IWR is a real problem for me even tho now he says he made a mistake.

I wish to hell Wesley Clark or Al Gore would have run. I like Dennis Kucinich's policy stances best of all of the candidates but he has less than -0- chance of winning the nomination.

<sigh>

[momto3]

192. Biden. eom

193. My dream was Gore.

But since my telepathic-mind-vibe-voodoo-ray didn't seem to work on him....

I've been waffling a LOT between Edwards and Richardson, but since tomorrow's the big day, I THINK I've decided on Edwards.

So for me it comes down to..

Gore - if I could have him

223. I would be supporting Edwards if I were an American

I think Edwards is both the most progressive of the Big Three, and probably the most likely to win an election.

I don't know if that counts, though, because I'm not actually going to vote for him due to not living in America.
