Will Kerry's pick for VP affect your vote?

Poll question: Will Kerry's pick for VP affect your vote?

[yardwork]

1. Unless he picked Cheney....

[Khephra]

2. Lieberman would be a real kick to the balls.

And, although I'd still vote for Kerry, I'm part of the Hoosiers Against Bayh Squad.

[Piperay]

3. No...

of course I would like it if he picked Clark but I will vote Kerry no matter who he decides he needs, even if it were Zell Miller. :puke:

4. The right VP will make the difference

between winning decisively or winning by a small enough margin for the Bush Regime to pull of some kind of shenanigans. That's why I think Edwards is our safest bet.

:headbang:

5. Nope. However,

it will affect whether he gets my money, time and effort. If he doesn't choose Clark, he gets my vote ONLY.

7. Great attitude.

9. What's wrong with my attitude?

I think I've come a long way..baby! I DETEST John Kerry. He's lucky to get my vote. Period. Sorry I haven't fallen in line like I'm expected to do, but I DO think my vote is enough if he doesn't choose who I want for VP....considering I don't even like the man.

14. You're not alone.

I feel the exact same way. :hug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. I'm sure we aren't alone!

Not EVERYONE is going to LOVE John Kerry. Far from it. :hug:

[anti-NAFTA]

12. It is a damn great attitude.

If he wants to make Kerry fight for his support, then that's good. Follow-the-leader support that you're advocating promotes wishy-washy politicians and is an insult to democracy. Of course, I find his capriciousness about Clark a bit silly; but it's a hell of a lot better than blind support.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Silly?

:cry::cry::cry: I devoted 4 1/2 months working my behind off for Wes Clark. He's the ONLY candidate who has ever inspired me to get involved in his campaign. I wrote 900 letters for him. I made 100 phone calls for him. I drove from Illinois to Nashville, TN to work for his TN campaign for 4 days and we maxed out at $4000 donating to his campaign. I don't think wanting my candidate to be the VP because I feel he is the best choice, is silly or capricious. :( I LOVE that man and honestly believe...with all my heart, that HE is the man Kerry NEEDS to win. I really DO detest Kerry though. :(

I'm a "she", btw. :*

[jmoss]

24. I helped JRE in a similar fashion...and....

I haven't gotten over the heartbreak enough to start getting active for Senator Kerry, yet.....:hangover:

[Catch22Dem]

6. Not even a little bit

He could pick Satan himself, and I'd send Kerry/Satan $2K that very day. LOL

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Well, at least Satan isn't a PNAC'er

...from what I've heard anyway. He's no fan of Bush Jr, I know that much.

[adadem]

18. You wouldn't be alone n/t

[BringEmOn]

25. I hear Satan's down with Skull and Bones, too

He hedged his bet in 2004. .:evilgrin:
But, seriously, I have no choice but to vote for Kerry

[bain_sidhe]

8. Not my vote, just my enthusiasm

He's got my vote no matter who he picks. I'll be a LOT more enthusiastic about some vp picks than others, though.

[MnFats]

10. What, like I'm going to vote for Bush if I disagree...

....with Kerry's choice for VP?
He could pick his dog, or a toaster, and I'd still vote for him.
Now, if he picked Jimmy Swaggart or Brother R.W. Shambauch, I might have qualms....

[MessiahRp]

27. Hell a Toaster is Better than Bush

and it actually has something that comes out of it that you can swallow! I get the feeling a toaster won't care about war too much... I mean it might not have an issue with global warming because it doesn't have issues with things burning, but, I am sure that it will be content without ever going to war.

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. Talkie Toaster for President!

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. Yes. If he picks another Bush enabling warmonger DLC neoconservative....

...I'll stay home and pack boxes on November 2nd, because there won't be anything worth sticking around for if there is no alternative to PNAC fascism.

[rucky]

16. It will affect my level of enthusiasm

CLARK

[atre]

19. Same, but I'd be most enthusiastic for Edwards

nm

[populistmom]

20. Not even remotely

This is a time for unity. We HAVE to win!!!

[TNMOM]

21. He's got my vote no matter what

Bush has got to go. I don't care who Kerry picks.

[newyawker99]

31. Hi tawnnhan!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Crunchy Frog]

22. No,

I have a clear preference for a running mate, and my level of enthusiasm will be impacted, but I would vote for him and support him even if he picked Zell Miller.

Getting rid of Bush is by far the biggest issue for me.

[CalebHayes]

23. NO

[lams712]

26. Maybe

I will still vote for Kerry, but his VP choice can have an adverse effect on my $$$ contributions and volunteer time.

[Doomsayer13]

28. If he picked LaRouche

I might not vote for him.

[VOX]

29. He's got my vote, but I could be more enthusiastic about it...

With a cool VP candate on the ticket...Clark, Edwards, ????

On edit: He could also *really* dampen my enthusiasm with a stale, moderate, old-school pick -- Gephardt, for example. Gep is a fine public servant, but the American electorate has had numerous chances to support him over the last 25 years, and he's never caught on. Just one example...
