Poll question: Who Is The Nicest Candidate
Regardless of who you are going to vote for which Democrat do you think is the nicest?

I'd vote Dennis Kucininch or John Edwards...

They seem the most mellow....

2. I'm not sure I'd call Dennis mellow
not a slam but he seems pretty wound up a lot of the time.

Edwards can get very pointed when he wants to rip new rectums (vis a vie Bush) but I really believe he's a gentleman.

3. I Guess I Like DK Cuz He's A Little Guy....
Bob Graham is also very "nice"

To me a nice person is a tolerant person who doesn't take advantage of those weaker than him .....

15. Eat 'em raw
Don't incinerate them or even do much more than cut them up bite sized!

5. That smile!!
No matter how nice the guys get--the smile of Carol Mosely Braun speaks volumes. She probably won't get the nomination--but it seems assured that she'll be right there supporting whoever gets the nod.
Maybe it is just me, but she gives off the aura of someone who wants everyone in the race to do well.

11. I agree.
Some people dislike the CMB smile. I think it's great. She brings a lot of levity to the race, and I mean that in a good way. She's a nice foil for those who would say that the Democrats are all "too negative."

16. She smiles too much.
She has a gorgeous smile, but you don't find any of the men up there grinning the whole time. It bothers me...slightly. It could be seen as unprofessional, or not serious enough, or something. Her policies are right on the mark, she's highly intelligent and well spoken, and the smile sometimes undermines her.Some already don't take her candidacy seriously, and there she is smiling all the time like this whole presidency thing is such a lark!

Of course, it could be seen as optimistic, pleasant, kind, etc. I go back and forth with my feelings on that smile, LOL.

8. Dennis isn't 'nice' ...
He's a hell raiser. But, that's ok.

Edwards for me.

9. Carol
I've never seen her without a smile, never seen her feathers ruffled. Always looks like she's having fun.

10. Kucinich.
By far is the kinder gentler candidate. He's so warm and fuzzy. Why if I was gay...well...naaaaahhhh

17. John Edwards is *such* a kind and good fellow. And Braun is delightful.
I think they're close, but I picked Edwards because I think Braun's niceness gets in her way sometimes and she smiles too much. Sometimes. But it was close.

Not a shocker that I picked Edwards, I know. He is the real deal of nice, though. Good guy.
