1. updated to add none of the above n/t

[verse18]

2. I support Dennis!

[SteelPenguin]

8. Yeah Kucinich gets my vote today

First time in a straw poll he has my vote. I think the whole Michael Moore sicko thing has made me really want to see HR 676 (?) be passed, and Kucinich, to my knowledge, is the only one backing that plan.

22. kucinich rocks

[meegbear]

3. But what if Gore does jump in ...

can I still vote for ______ in the primaries?

[ourbluenation]

7. i added another option just for you.

[PassingFair]

4. *uck it. You heard it here first.

No Gore, then The Kuch gets my vote in the primary.

I was undecided until now.

Obama lost me in the "Religious" debate.

[Swamp Rat]

5. Kucinich

[Nikki Stone1]

10. Amen.

GO DENNIS!

[peace13]

6. Yes Dennis!

And every time he stands up for me I send him $100 to keep on doing it. This is the only way we will get someone with 'American values' back in the WH!

[LSK]

9. Edwards n/t

[ananda]

11. I'll support Edwards!

I like Kucinich, but I don't think he has a chance.

[ourbluenation]

18. ditto - on all you said

[MessiahRp]

12. God I hope Gore jumps in

None of these candidates energize me at all. Kucinich is right on a lot of things but is grating to me with his forceful, angry personality. Obama and Hillary seem very corporatist a DLC friendly, of course so is Biden. Dodd's right on the war... now as is Edwards but neither strikes me as someone I just have to vote for. Gravel is bat shit crazy. Richardson is pathetic in the debates, has no sense of timing and ends up looking foolish when he runs over his time with long looping answers. Republicans are kings of the soundbyte after all and they have the media on their side.

Nobody makes me feel that my vote will really make a difference to get them into the Democratic slot and none excite me enough to say, "Yes! I would definitely vote for that guy/girl!"

Brains and Balls. What a combination!

[Individualist]

20. DK all the way!

[Stop Cornyn]

21. Why does Dennis Kucinich do so much better in polls in GD and worse in polls in GD:P?

[trashcanistanista]

23. Kucinich in the primary and hopefully

in the general as well. I've had enough.

[ProudDad]

25. GD:P

is infested with Hillary Zealots...That's why Dennis doesn't do as well there...

[Stop Cornyn]

28. There is more blatantly false bullshit about Kucinich and Edwards in GD:P than at Freerepublic

[ProudDad]

24. Kucinich

Of course, this poll if proving that he can't win, right???

[BlueIris]

26. Same guy I voted for last time. There, I posted it.

[DesertRat]

32. No warmongers.

I'm still holding out for Gore. But in case he doesn't run, I'd vote for Kucinich.

[bamacrat]

33. Ya know I know it's because we're all hardcore but I hope this Kucinich love means good things.

You never know.

[Faux pas]

34. Dennis is da man. Voted for him before and will vote for him

[Eurobabe]

35. RNSY, TE

Really not sure yet. TOO EARLY.

[some guy]

36. This is nice to see, finally.

Mr Kucinich well ahead at 55 to 36 over Mr Edwards, the closest challenger.

As an aside, Wyldwolf of all people, posted a pro-Kucinich thread in GD -

" A week before award- winning film-maker Michael Moore will begin to ask Presidential candidates to sign a pledge to make dramatic reforms in the U.S. health care system, Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich -- in Moore's own words -- "is 100 percent on board."

Speaking at a health care town meeting here following a screening of his new movie, "SICKO," Moore said he will be asking candidates to sign his four-part pledge and urged his audience to "hold the candidates' feet to the fire" on the issue of health care reform.

In addition to supporting a national, non-profit health care system, Moore said "true" universal health care demands the removal of for-profit insurance companies from the health care delivery system and the regulation of pharmaceutical companies much in the same way that public utilities are regulated. Candidates should not take any campaign funds from insurance companies, drug companies, hospitals, HMOs, or other health care industry groups, Moore said. "

37. Don't care for any of them but

I'll vote for whichever of them has the best chance of keeping Hillary from getting the nomination.
