Poll: Preference for Democratic presidential nominee
This time, approve or disapprove candidates as you wish; you need not rank the candidates, or vote for only one.

For me:

Approve:
Dean
Clark
Kucinich

Disapprove:
All others*


* It doesn't mean I won't vote for them in 2004, but just that I wouldn't vote for them if the Dem presidential nomination were held by approval vote.

2. Approving or disapproving everybody...
...basically means your vote doesn't count toward any candidate.

Everyone has pros and cons, but in an approval vote election for Democratic primary, I'd approve Dean, Clark, and Kucinich.

5. ok
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 12:55 PM by sujan
Will definately vote for if nominated:
Carol Mosley Braun
Al Sharpton

Likely to vote for if nominated:
Dean
Kucinich
Graham

Definately no:
Kerry
Edwards
Gephardt
Lieberman

Until Clark leaves his strumpeting aside and comes about concrete on his political alliance, policy standings, I am regarding him an adversary alongside Bush.

6. My "approval vote" preferences:
Would approve:
Kerry
Graham
Clark (assuming he runs)

Not sure if I would approve:
Dean
Edwards

Wouldn't approve in an approval voting system:
The others


I'm not completely sure how an approval voting system works-- would there be some way to indicate indecisiveness or degree of preference? (That is, I'd definitely prefer Kerry, Graham or Clark, but I'd be less unhappy with Dean or Edwards than with Gephardt, Lieberman, Kucinich, Moseley Braun or Sharpton.)

7. Clark rules
Like the most:
Clark
Kerry
Dean

Ambivance or dislike for all the rest. Vehemently dislike Lieberman and Kucinich. But I'll vote for any of them over *.

Clark
Dean
Kerry


0 (D):
