Edwards, Richardson, Kucinich, Biden, Gravel & Dodd Supporters

Poll question: Edwards, Richardson, Kucinich, Biden, Gravel & Dodd Supporters

First of all - especially to Edwards supporters I am not at ALL saying that Edwards is or should be dropping out. But, there has been a lot of back & forth about how his supporters would go to Obama or Clinton if he were to drop out, thus impacting the overall Primaries.

Edwards, Richardson, Kucinich, Biden, Gravel & Dodd Supporters: I'd like to see - if your candidate is no longer in the running, who would you be most likely to switch and vote for:

Edited: to add Dodd

[Muttocracy]

1. Dodd has supporters too!

[RoadRage]

2. Sorry..

I couldn't fit anymore into the subject line. I did not mean to exclude any Dem currently running!!

[RoadRage]

3. Alright..

Got Dodd in there too. Basically, anyone who isn't voting for Hillary or Barack is invited to vote.

[stimbox]

4. Not much of a choice. I'll hold my nose and vote for the nominee. n/t

[RepublicanElephant]

5. i'd vote for bubbles the chimp before i ever vote gop!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LTR]

6. Oh will you give up on this fucking poll already

How many more times are you going to post this?

I'd support Obama, but some of his supporters are real gloating assholes. Total turn-off.

[RoadRage]

10. WHAT THE HELL?

Yeah.. i posted this poll.. 5 nights ago - after Iowa. Not sure if you noticed.. but a slightly different story tonight. Also, Edwards has now not won 2 of the states.. and every OTHER post on this board is talking about how all of his "supporters" would just hop right over to the Obama team. I'm looking above, and saying... Uhh.. it doesn't appear that way.

So don't vote in the stupid poll then.. there are like, i don't know.. 10,000 other posts you can look at. Really.. i won't mind! But getting pissed off at one post because it's asking a damn good and applicable question. And i'm not going to offend any other Edwards supporters by lumping you in with them. I find YOU to be somewhat of an ass.. but i'm sure not going to lump everyone together.

Sheesh

[LTR]

12. Your overall manner has been very gloating

And I'm getting tired of you pompous Obama bandwagon jumpers who think your shit doesn't stink.

It's this kind of attitude from Obama supporters that would make me wary of supporting their candidate.

[RoadRage]

13. Every Post I've made tonight

has been more then congratulatory to Clinton voters.. i've done or said NOTHING to ANYONE that is out of line.

[RoadRage]

14. Ohh.. and regarding the Obama "bandwagon" term..

I donated my first $100 to his campaign last March.. on the 31st. I've contributed to his campaign each quarter in 2007 - so it's not like I hopped on this bus last week. But.. thanks anyways!

[windbreeze]

23. His supporters shouldn't matter perhaps?

Only Obama, himself, should matter....as the only actions he is responsible for...are his own...wb

[jzodda]

7. If edwards drops out I am moving to Clinton

[LSdemocrat]

8. Same here, I support, in order, Edwards, Clinton, Obama

[goldcanyonaz]

16. Most Obama supporters here assume that Edwards supporters would move towards him.

[RoadRage]

19. Yeah.. if you read the chatter..

But if you look at the poll, it's exactly 50% - 50%.

Edwards fans, I hope your guy stays in the race.. because him dropping out frankly doesn't appear to help Obama much!

Now, how this play outside of DU could be a different story - and it'd be nice to see a poll on it, but they'd probably be off by 15% or so. ;)

[jzodda]

22. Maybe so but thats not an assumption I would make for the people in this region maybe

She has been my Senator now for years and I think she's done a very good job. I like Edwards message better because I feel like he does that we are in a real fight, a war here at home. I like her though because she's damn tough- I think maybe people outside the NY region underestimate her but she's a real fighter and we know that here. I like Obama as well and I am sure he would also fight hard. In any event I will vote for whoever we nominate.

[Kucinich4America]

9. If this means the General Election, Yes for Obama, Yes for Edwards, FUCK NO to Hillary.

But my vote in the caucus goes to Dennis Kucinich.

[AX10]

11. Biden supporter here.

I'm with Hillary now.

[goldcanyonaz]

18. Biden and Clinton were always my favorites.

[protect our future]

20. First for Biden, now for Clinton

[ursi]

15. Edwards to Obama

[Armstead]

17. Obama

I know "change" is already sooo yesterday -- But I really believe we need a change from the status quo

[LSK]

24. what you said

[RoadRage]

21. Clinton is Winning..

I'd love to see Obama take these votes.. but so far it looks like more people really want Clinton!

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

25. I would go with Obama in any scenario, if Edwards dropped out

[MrSlayer]

26. I don't get to vote on it until April 22nd. Which is bullshit.

If by some miracle Edwards is in a tight race with whomever, I'm voting for John. However, it will all be over but the shouting by the time the state with the fifth most electoral votes gets to weigh in on it so I'm going to vote for Kucinich.

[RoadRage]

34. I'm in Nebraska..

Even later then you.. we're not until May (why even bother)? I hear ya.. i would love to see 10 primaries a week for 5 weeks straight.. and each election year they rotate which states start it. That way EVERY state counts.. and they'd wait 'till all 50 before most would think about dropping out.

Oh well.. you can dream, right?

[Seabiscuit]

27. Ignorant and offensive premise - Edwards is NOT going to "drop out". He's going all the way.

[Steely_Dan]

28. Biden Supporter

I will not vote.

-P

[Laelth]

29. Edwards --> Obama

Here's why: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4006622&mesg_id=4006622

30. ok, since my Michigan non-vote doesn't matter...

.... this probably means nothing, but I still voted, because I like to see the coloured bars change. I would most like to see Kucinich, Richardson or Gravel win - in that order. If, for some reason, all of these men were to drop out of the race, I would most like to see Obama win.

[Raine]

31. I'd go from Edwards to Obama

I won't support Hillary.

[bklyncowgirl]

32. Richardson to Obama

I want a candidate who had no role in getting us into this mess in Iraq. I support Richardson because he can correctly say that he was in New Mexico when these decisions were made and I feel that he is right in his desire to end the war quickly. I also like his record on the enviroment, education and of course his experience in getting things done in his home state.

Hillary Clinton is the candiate of the Democratic establishment. The Democratic Party must be changed from within if we are to see change in this country. Therefore, despite my reserves about his experience, I'd switch my vote to Obama.

[seasat]

35. You and I have similar views.

In addition, I was a little turned off by Obama's past support of the coal industry. He's running on a more moderate platform on some issues than I would like. However, he's got a very liberal voting record if you go back to his state senator days. He also does echo some of Richardson's very progressive foreign policy views. He's not as far to the left on foreign policy as Richardson but is decidedly less hawkish than Clinton. He's always been my second choice.

[LWolf]

33. Other.

Neither. After the convention, should HRC or Obama win, I will choose from one of these options: vote 3rd party, or independent, or write in a better Democrat.

[Lilith Velkor]

36. Most Gravel and some Kucinich supporters would vote for McKinney

I'm not advocating such a thing here, of course, just making an observation.

[protect our future]

37. Please change my previous vote.

... sigh ... Well, first I was for Biden, then I was for Clinton but it was very lukewarm because of our three great candidates, all of them electable, then when the media tried to turn Hillary's teary-eyed moment into the Dean Scream that came across as a disgusting attack on ALL women, not just Hillary, I reacted with anger as did thousands of women coast-to-coast, and I became solid for Hillary and thought it was going to last forever, then yesterday my anger level lessened and I started asking myself what in the world I could have been thinking and I'd probably end up switching to Obama or Edwards by the time our primary finally rolled around, and then today we have the Kerry endorsement and I'm in for Barack, and that's final.

I sound like a woman who cannot make up her mind, perhaps? Wrong. All three of our candidates have their own strengths. They also have weaknesses. It was very difficult to choose. My one little vote may not count for much, but it's important to me and I want to get it right.

I have been a solid John Kerry supporter since 2003. That would not have changed if he had decided to run this time. I trust his judgment and his integrity, his courage, his knowledge, most everything else about him, so here I am, from Biden to Clinton to Obama.

Please change my previous vote for Clinton to a vote for Obama.

[Lilith Velkor]

38. I don't have the power to change your vote

Anyway, it's just an internet poll, you can find plenty in GD:P and you can vote for a different one every day if you like.

[Blue_In_AK]

39. Not pleased with this outcome.

I'm undecided.

[redqueen]

40. Undecided... I'll probably base my decision on the OH SO IMPORTANT criteria:

personality and what their nastiest, ugliest supporters say on DU.

:eyes:

[Infinite Hope]

41. Obama. But this poll is pointless because obviously Hillary supporters are voting for themselves etc
