To the Administration of DU, I and the following members respectfully request

[bobthedrummer]

consideration of an official DU straw poll of all the announced Democratic candidates in the near future.

It would be much appreciated.

on edit: DU members that support this request check in.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

1. Can't barely wait.

:hi:

[karlrschneider]

2. What a terrific idea! It has been hours since we had one!

:D

[bobthedrummer]

5. We haven't had one at all, as you well know. That being said are you for an Admin poll or not?

[Bjornsdotter]

3. Okay

...I'm in.

:toast:

[Ghost in the Machine]

4. I'm in

KICK

[MissDeeds]

6. Me too

Might be interesting to have a once weekly "official" straw poll to track movement in support.

[piedmont]

7. Sounds good. And maybe have Skinner send out a PM announcement of it to increase participation, nt

[cali]

8. do you mean one that would be pinned to the top of the page?

I'm not a big one for candidate polls, but that could be fun- and interesting.

[bobthedrummer]

14. That would be up to Admin-it would be whatever they want, as long as all

announced candidates are in it the details would be theirs, I think it's time for one.

[fed-up]

9. I'm in-but not on Friday or weekends...when many Duers are busy nt

[ruiner4u]

10. count me in...

[orleans]

11. i live near chicago. can we vote early and often?

i think it's a good idea (is gore in the race yet?)

how 'bout something biweekly so we can do some comparison? and you can vote across the span of one week. after that, results are tallied and posted. the following week a new straw poll appears.

will there be republican candidates in this poll? (if so i just want to let you know right now i probably will not be voting for any of them. :evilgrin: )


on edit: i read this back and although i was just f*cking around when i asked about republican candidates and i meant to sound a little stupid & flip about it--but i also want to clarify just so there really is no confusion: i would kill myself before i voted for a fucking republican. just so you know.)

[femmocrat]

12. Sounds good to me!

Count me in.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. I'll vote preemptively

None of the above.

[bobthedrummer]

15. Every DU Group of announced candidates has a link to this too.

Who else supports this request besides us?

[MuseRider]

16. I'm in.

I would find it interesting instead of all the polls that so many miss.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. You know I'm in

:hi:

[bobthedrummer]

18. I know now...and there will be more of us in the morning-maybe a reply from Admin

to our request.
:hi:
IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST-IMPEACH CHENEY NOW!

[Vektor]

19. Sure, why not?

I have no idea who I'll pick, but why the heck not?

[wildbilln864]

20. K&R! n/t

[John Q. Citizen]

21. Maybe run it for a week, with a weeks notice? sounds good.

[alittlelark]

22. Sounds good to me.

[rhett o rick]

23. K & R

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

24. Count me in too!

n/t

[Nostradammit]

25. Yes, please

Let's do.

Could be most revealing.

[Catchawave]

26. Official Straw Poll may encourage more to vote ?

Not to mention "see" it :D

[lazyriver]

27. Sounds good to me.

[robcon]

28. Official!!!!

[Ganja Ninja]

29. Yes please.

[KoKo]

30. Sounds good...if it's official maybe more folks will partcipate.

[bobthedrummer]

31. .

[hootinholler]

32. What would be cool is one that stays open

That would let us change our vote by voting again as our views change.

-Hoot

[Debi]

33. Sure, could be interesting! n/t

[Truth2Tell]

34. Good Idea

Might draw off-board campaigns to affect the outcome... but that could be a good thing... bringing in people...

[madhoosier]

35. Sure

[dweller]

[ronnykmarshall]

43. Why THANK you!

I'm so honored you noticed.

Hoooowwwww niiiiiiicccceee!

[MonkeyFunk]

39. How would this differ

from any of the other straw polls posted here?

Frankly, I don't think the admins SHOULD give any stamp of legitimacy to such an endeavor.

[peace13]

41. Yes,,,let's do that!

I say vote already, that should clear a few things up! Peace, Kim

[SkyIsGrey]

42. K&R

[VOX]

45. Agreed. The Iowa caucus is less that two months away. It's time. n/t

[Zhade]

46. Kucinich might even win this one.

Be nice to see.

[LWolf]

47. Checking in to add my support

in light of recent "push polls" trying to find a different outcome than the regular straw polls consistently show.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

48. I think it would be a great idea

seeing all that has happened this week.
