Would you object to "democratic dollars" winding up in the hands of Bob Barr in these states?

Poll question: Would you object to "democratic dollars" winding up in the hands of Bob Barr in these states?

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New Hampshire and Georgia?

It is certainly a page out out of the 2004 GOP playbook in Pennsylvania.


But Barr siphoning off libertatians who hate Obama and McCain does works to our advantage.

1. It's a matter of ethical responsibility.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

We can win this election without becoming those we oppose.

4. I don't think it's un-ethical

I think it would serve the country well to have more than 2 viable parties.
While I don't think money should go directly from DNC coffers to the libertarians or green party or any other third party, I do think it's okay to make sure their message is heard.
Philosophically, I think the more voices in the conversation the better. Pragmatically it isn't bad for us because more votes will be siphoned from McCain than Obama.

Maybe Obama could ask that other parties be invited to the debates.

3. I need more coffee... Clarified the OP

5. I agree, it needs clarification.

The title asks if we would object, but the choices would be more appropriate to "should we do it?".

6. No I'd rather people get over their aversion to voting for Democrats.

Switching from brand A crazy to brand X crazy isn't healthy in the long run.

[abburdlen]

8. sure that'd be great but...

there are people who are just going to vote for crazy.
Wouldn't it be better if we kept that crazy vote divided up among a few choices so Crazy didn't get in the White House (again)

7. good idea, no to New Hampshire. n/m

[Alter Ego]

9. Yeah. I don't like Barr's hypocritical ass either.

10. A single reason for not supporting Bob Barr.

Mr. Barr shares some of the responsibility for where we are today.

11. If a 527 wants to do that, fine, but they wouldn't get any help from me--and no way in hell

do I want my donations going there.
