[radfringe]

AOL is running a Presidential Straw Poll - the total numbers between Democratic candidates and Republic candidates is pretty interesting

poll is open through Monday Jan 14

I created an excel chart of the results so far:

1. go hilary

:toast:

2. I'm betting on Clinton winning

In order to assure a win, the dems will have to have Fla. and Ohio, and Clinton is the only candidate who can deliver those two states. They comprise 47 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. She has two endorsements in Ohio, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones and Ted Strickland, and right now, I don't think Obama has any Ohio endorsements. She has four endorsements in Fla. to Obama's one, and she does much better with the over 60 crowd and Hispanics than Obama.

3. You need a REALITY check

after what has been going on with all of Missy hillary's nonsense, she is toast.

She ALREADY blew it with the democrats of color, MOST will just stay home.
So if you want Hillary to get the nom, be prepared for 4-8 more years of ReTHUGS.....

[Uben]

4. No worries mate

She will win and will deliver!

[gaiilonfong]

5. well OK if you say so

Ah IGNORANCE is bliss

[Uben]

6. tis indeed!

[gaiilonfong]

7. I'll be remindin' ya

Can't wait to see Missy Hillary disected on Meet the press today, I am sure she will make all her supporters happy.......LMAO!........

[Uben]

8. She already has!

She's the one to beat, right now.

[gaiilonfong]

9. as I said

IGNORANCE is bliss

[Uben]

10. I agree wholeheartedly!

Hope you gotta salt and pepper shaker handy! LOL

Hey, we're on the same side, I hope. Whoever wins this thing, they have my total support.

Looks like super Tuesday will tell the tale this time around.

15. I live in Florida

and you're dreaming - the only Dem who might have a chance in this God forsaken state is Edwards....

by the time the swiftboaters get through with Obama or Clinton - the repunks will have the FL electoral college votes in the bag....

[skipos]

16. I am betting on Hillary because Dems have a history of picking mediocre candidates

As for the AOL poll, this is the only online poll I have ever seen that doesn't have Ron Paul winning. Are the Paulbearers giving up?

11. looking at polls (not just this particular one - but overall)

and comparing the number of Democratic responses vs republic ones - it looks like the next president will be a dem.

people want big time change and they know the republics are just talking out of their butts

[durrrty libby]

12. The people have spoken K & R

[Frances]

13. Which is MORE important to you:

that your candidate win in the primaries OR
that the Dem candidate wins in the general?

For me, it's that the Dem candidate defeats the Repub candidate.

I fully expect to disagree with some decisions that ANY Dem president will make. I'm sure I will get very upset about some decisions.

But I am equally certain that a Repub president would be infinitely worse.

14. as far as the primaries go

PA primary isn't until April, I expect the nominee will be pretty much chosen by then

anyone have any speculation on who a VP will be...or will asking this question start another brawl?
