Poll question: Who would you vote for in a Sheehan/Pelosi race?

[Red Zelda]

1. I'd vote for almost ANYBODY running against Pelousy

[Drum]

2. Given a choice

of candidates, where one seeks only one issue vs one seeking everything-but-that-issue (inpeachment)...it's not a hard decision for me. If I was in the district concerned (a constituent) I think it would be even easier: I'd vote for someone with some experience in governance, and with a larger set of goals for We The People.

:shrug:

3. Nancy Pelosi - No contest!

Cindy Sheehan has no qualifications or experience to be in the House of representatives, she is just a favorite of a small group of internet activists. As Dean proved, internet support does not translate to real world support. I'm thinking Pelosi will get near 80% against Sheeehan and it will embarrass all the left extremists who have made Sheehan their pet cause.

4. If you see 80/20, Nancy has some catching up to do nt

[mmonk]

6. Extremists is a loaded charge.

[quinnox]

8. yea I don't care!

I'm sick of the fringe green party members who aren't Democrats anyway and they continue to slander a great liberal Democrat like Nancy Pelosi, fuck them! they conveniently never identify the truth - they aren't Democrats to begin with, always keeping it quiet. I will continue to call them extremists and stand by it.

[mmonk]

12. I am disappointed Cindy chose the independent route

out of frustration but I don't view her as extremist. I view the bush administration as extremist. Cindy would have a better case if she pushed for Cheney to be impeached because it would be the more doable of the two. I always vote and work for dems but share Cindy's distaste for Pelosi's current position of letting this administration off the hook. I will work hard and constructively to change her mind.

[EFerrari]

24. Maybe Cindy can be persuaded to file as a Democrat.

She hasn't filed yet. :shrug:

[mmonk]

26. I wish she would but understand her position.

I think she might be more effective that way but we'll see what happens.

[Forkboy]

13. Go on with your bad self!

Damn non-Dems...always going to Live Earth and watching that propagandist Michale Moore.What a bunch of losers they are!

[wtmusic]

14. Well if Pelosi has good political instincts

she will ignore your advice to "fuck them". On a far left website like DU she is polling dead even with Cindy and I'd bet she'd be down elsewhere too.

The extremists are on the other side.

[Double T]

5. Where is "NONE OF THE ABOVE"?

[WinkyDink]

7. Whoever is the Democrat.

[Norquist Nemesis]

25. DING DING DING!!!

Same here. Personally, I wouldn't vote for Sheehan in the first place. Candidates have to be a little broader than just one, single issue in order for me to consider them.

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. Would the people in Pelosi's district ACTUALLY trade the Speaker of the House for a junior rep? n/t

[wtmusic]

11. Depends on how fed up they are

It seems to be trending that way.

[Betsy Ross]

15. No, they wouldn't trade the Speaker role.

I'm just across the bay from her district so I might be representative of her constituents (sp?). I sure wouldn't vote against Ms Peolosi.

[ComerPerro]

27. no kidding.

I think the Sheehan sycophants actually believe that Sheehan would become the next speaker, by default.

[ORDagnabbit]

10. Pelosi is looking more and more like a corporate tool. n/t

[BuyingThyme]

16. Is this a trick question? Why would somebody vote for Pelosi?

This is ridiculous.

[NaturalHigh]

17. Pelosi...

but I would puke for several hours afterwords.

[SledDriver]

18. It's not a matter of whether Cindy would get enough votes...

to actually defeat the *-enabling Ms. Pelosi.

It's whether she could pull enough votes away from her to affect the outcome of the race.

Think Ralph Nader in 2000, 2004...

[buddhamama]

19. where does Cindy stand on the issues?

i know she's against the war and in favor of Impeachment, but where does she stand on the issue of Fair Trade, Welfare reform, etc.,etc. ..?

[Nikki Stone1]

20. Much as I support Cindy, I'd vote for a banana slug with a (D) before I'd vote for any independent

The only hope we have is to get enough Dems to actually have some leverage. Eating our own is not a good idea.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. Pelosi Of Course. I Believe Cindy Has Shown Poor Judgment And Objectivity And Wouldn't Be Good.

I don't want more people in congress who have tunnel vision and the inability to reason and be objective.

[bluedog]

22. A Democrat of course.......

look at how we rant and rave about "Joe Lieberman" when he ran as a Independent.......how he took votes from the Democratic canditate......we were out raged..

where is this any different.......use common sense here!

[Matsubara]

23. I'd have to vote for Pelosi.

I agree with Sheehan's message, but she has not shown in any way that she is up to being a member of Congress. It requires a lot more than just conviction and stridency.
