Poll question: How many times have you switched candidates?
How many times have you changed the candidate you were backing?

1. Clarification--do you mean for the 2004 Dem nomination? Or in general?

3. Still for McCarthy, in 1968
Go, Clean Gene! As for today, started with Dean (the war), sticking with him, will support any Dem against Darth Bush with all my heart and soul.

5. Once I make up my mind a team of wild horses
couldn't make me switch
unless they had a dazzelling argument.

6. .
Being a Canadian, it's pretty irrelavent, but I liked Dean the most before Clark entered the race. I'd been following Dean since I read about him in Harper's Magazine, before the war. I was attracted to Dean because the others (Kerry, Gephardt) looked like Republican lapdogs at the time. As soon as I heard about Clark and the draft movement I was very interested in him as well.
I knew about Dean when nobody had heard of him and pundits were saying he'd be crushed by Kerry or Gephardt.

8. fluid
I really like three of the candidates, and on any given day my preference for one can go higher than another depending on what is in the news about their respective campaigns and other nebulous factors.
