Straight up or down vote, Gep for Veep?

[Walt Starr]

Poll question: Straight up or down vote, Gep for Veep?

Just interested in general DU consensus.

[k in IA]

1. Can I scream it for emphasis? NOOOO!

[Walt Starr]

2. Sure

I'm positive that an overwhelming consensus by DUers is they'd prfer somebody else, but I admit I could be wrong.

[goclark]

23. Ditto !!! No !!!

[JI7]

3. is this a vote for gephardt for vp or whether people will vote if gep is

vp ? gep is going to lose if it's a vote for those that support him for vp. but the numbers for whether one will still support the ticket with gephardt as vp may be different.

not that it matters much since kerry lost all du polls when asked who you want to win the primary.

[Gman]

8. Kerrry lost those DU polls as did Gephardt.

and look who's the nominee and who's not and who's in the running for VP and who's not.

[Skittles]

26. that does NOT mean

the were/are the BEST CANDIDATES. We could have done MUCH BETTER than Kerry. And we can do MUCH, MUCH better than DICK F***ING GEPHARDT.

[Walt Starr]

Striaght up or down vote

Gep for Veep.

Nothing else.

[JI7]

12. he isn't my first choice for vp, but i would support him if he is picked

[Walt Starr]

15. That's not what this poll is about

It's a straight choice, if you had your choice, would Gep be Veep?

[k in IA]

18. I sure didn't take it to mean a no vote meant you wouldn't vote

for Kerry. The VP slot is not that important.

[Walt Starr]

9. Striaght up or down vote

Gep for Veep.

Nothing else.

[Gman]

4. What is this sudden obsession with Gephardt bashing?

three or four threads this evening bashing Gephardt.

[Walt Starr]

10. How is a poll Gep Bashing

Would a poll doing a straight up or down, 'Kerry for Pres?' be Kerry bashing?

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. Sudden obsession?? Remember the Rose Garden?

How about Iowa?

Nothing sudden or obsessive about it. Stick a fork in Dick he's done. And so's Kerry if he picks that backstabbing SOB.

[Radical Activist]

5. Shoot me now

Do I really have to work for that ticket? Someone who voted for the war and someone who really enjoyed voting for the war? Once upon a time I liked Gephardt but I'm not sure he stands for anything anymore. ugh

[Bucky]

6. I'm not Gep bashing... but no, it's a bad call.

I like Gep. I respect him. He's not who we need. We need Bubba-lite. We need Edwards.

[mdmc]

7. gep over edwards

:hi:

[Rowdyboy]

13. I voted no, but I don't share the hatred of Gephart...I just think he's

the wrong choice.

[k in IA]

22. Agreed. No hatred at all. It just really seems like the wrong choice.

I would like Edwards, Clark, Richardson, and many others would be fine.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. Boring choice....no....please!.....n/t

[opihimoimoi]

16. Nice guy, loyal, passionate, true Dem, but not the man

[Trajan]

17. Boring ....

What a bore ...

Bush and Cheney are MUCH more exciting ! ...

Exciting wars ...

Exciting kleptocracy ...

Exciting promotion of dislocation, death and destruction ...

MUCH more exciting than that damned loyal and dedicated Democrat Gephardt ...

FUCK GEPHARDT ! ...

</extreme sarcasm>

[Radical Activist]

19. Didn't Sharpton get more delegates than Gep?

I know Kucinich did. Why are picking the biggest loser from the primaries that was soundly rejected by the party?

[UTUSN]

20. I Voted "no" But George McGOVERN Disregarded My Opinion, Too

So, what's the point?

[ibegurpard]

21. Where's the "fuck no?"

Other than the unthinkable of Lieberman or McCain, I can't imagine anyone I would hate to pull the lever for more.
If he's indeed going to go with one of the former candidates then go with Edwards or Clark not the failed leadership of Gephardt (and not Dean...I don't want him muzzled by the constraints of running with Kerry).
I suspect that this might be the case, however, and it will be a reward for dirty work done well for the Democratic Party in Iowa.

[puerco-bellies]

28. It should be right above the "Hell fucking NO!!! eom

[jobycom]

24. Absolutely a better choice-- but would Bush choose him?

Of course, I have no concern over who Bush chooses. As long as Kerry doesn't choose Gephardt.

[Skittles]

25. NO N NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

HELL F***ING NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlemingsGhost]

27. Ouch! Not much love for Gep.

The numbers are something I'd expect from Lieberman.

[kiahzero]

29. No, but not a strong no

Gephardt on his worst day is miles ahead of Bush or Cheney on their best.
