2016 Presidential Primary Poll

[Renew Deal]

Poll question: 2016 Presidential Primary Poll

Who would you vote for in 2016 if the election was held today?

[DefenseLawyer]

1. Al Gore will be 68 in 2016

Just hitting his prime

[FLAprogressive]

2. Of the options on the poll: Schweitzer....of the options not on the poll: Feingold.

Feingold/Schweitzer would be a winning combination.

Gillibrand has been anointed by the king (or in this case, queen) makers. She is not to be trusted.

4. Feingold couldn't even win in his own blue state, how would he win nationally?

[FLAprogressive]

5. The people of WI made a mistake and they know it. He has "fiscal conservative" street cred without

being the Republican type of fiscal conservative. I think he'd be a great choice.

12. I think Feingold is a perfect VEEP candidate.

[LAGC]

3. It's Schweitzer, not Shweitzer.

In any case, he is a libertarian-leaning pro-gun rural Democrat who could really win over a lot of moderates/centrists while still keeping true to key Democratic values. He'd likely win over most of the West, and maybe even make some in-roads in the Deep South as well.

He knows how to deal with Republicans as well, with his "VETO" branding iron:

14. And he's also A GIANT!!...nt

6. This is a stupid poll

This country may not be here in 2016
better to fix things today instead of dreaming about tommorow

[Initech]

7. Yup - RIP America. 1776 - 2012. Primary cause of death: Tea Party. Fox News.

[Renew Deal]

13. Although I agree that it's a stupid poll

It isn't for the reason you stated.

[ThatsMyBarack]

8. AL. FRANKEN.

That is all. :patriot:

[Axrendale]

9. Voted for "other"

He may have "retired" from politics, but if Al Gore were to enter into the race, I'd toss my support to him in a heartbeat.

Out of all the prominent figures that the Democrats have, he's not only the one I'd give the nod to for making the best President, but also the one who stands the best chance of bringing the bulk of the party together for an all-out push to hang on to or retake power (depending on what the fallout of the 2012 and 2014 elections are).

He was the President that we should have been given in 2000, but he was denied to us then.

[defendandprotect]

10. One liberal and a bunch of DLC/New Dem/Third way politicians?

[moksha]

11. Elizabeth Warren? I really hope it is a woman.

[Renew Deal]

15. I didn't include anyone that's not currenly in elected office but...

I really like her. I think Gillibrand is going to suck up a lot of oxygen in 2016

[moksha]

16. I would be very happy with a Gillibrand 2016 sticker on my car.

[FLAprogressive]

17. Avoid Gillibrand like the plague. She was anointed by the kingmakers and will say anything to win.

She's also a $chumer acolyte.

[LooseWilly]

18. Matt Damon, obviously.

Or Anthony Weiner.

Or both. It wouldn't even matter to me who's on top of the ticket.

[nevergiveup]

19. Just to be a meanie I voted for Mark Warner

:evilgrin:

[Tx4obama]

20. 2016: Alan Grayson. n/t

22. Elizabeth Warren or Sherrod Brown

[Renew Deal]

23. kick

:kick:

[LWolf]

24. Other: probably none of them.

I'd be voting for a strong, unapologetic, take-no-prisoners left-of-center Democrat.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. Another vote for O'Malley here. He rocks....

...literally!



And Maryland under him has a decent track record.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. President Not Sure?

Have we reached that time yet?

[Uncle Joe]

27. Al Gore for President and Al Franken for Vice President.

Thanks for the thread, Renew Deal.
