Supporter Age Ranges

Poll question: Supporter Age Ranges

I'm curious the ages of the supporters of the next President of the United States, so I thought I'd better do this poll.

1. I'm equally curious,

so please add Wesley Clark's name to your poll!! ;)

2. I added mine

but I would also add this, but not on the poll since I can only vote once. My 19 year old son was home over Thanksgiving. He is a democrat but leans much more to the center than I do. He does not follow politics heavily but is aware. I asked him this weekend who he was leaning to and he said, "No question, Kucinich." I was stunned since I figured he would be a Dean or Clark guy. His reasons were that DK was the only one who made sense to him. My youngest who is turning 18 this month and will vote for the first time is also for DK. He has to listen to me all the time so I have probably heavily influenced him even though I tell him he must make up his own mind. 2 more young men for DK! My husband is still caught in the "unelectable" trap but is now without a candidate since he started with Dean, moved to Clark and is now unsure. He loves DK but will not commit to him. SInce we do not get to have a primary we will not get the chance to place that vote but I am sure we will all cast our votes for DK against Bush*.

3. Nice bell curve so far

The supporters of the next President cover several age ranges.

4. Stop dreaming

DK will never be president. I know you work for him, but live in reality please and do us all a favor.

5. dreams

Why do you find dreams so threatening?
Dan does not work for Dennis but rather is one of hundreds of selfless volunteers who share the dream.
Dreams can come true.

In case you missed it, this post seems an obvious riff on a similar post that did not mention DK. See

7. It is an obvious riff on that other poll

Thanks for noticing.

8. Thanks, dpbrown...I felt soooo excluded on the other poll

:) :) :)

I appreciate us progressives having a say in things here on DU.....
we still count in spite of what many think....

My son 26 and daughter 21 most likely will vote for Dennis in our early primary in AZ so there's more in the younger columns ...

Wanted to add- wait til Keeb comes on board later today...his enthusiasm should count for more than one vote!
:hi: John :loveya:

6. Say something positive or buzz off

I've offered arguments that show the strength of the progressive side of the bell curve.

I know that Kucinich came in second in the MoveOn.org poll.

I know that Kucinich came in third in the Army Times poll.

I know that Kucinich has won the POTUSpoll.com poll three times in a row.

I know that among Democrats polled in some counties in California, it's a race between Dean and Kucinich.

You don't speak for "us all" so why don't you do the rest of us a favor, and keep your preferential reality to yourself.

Thanks in advance.

12. I will say something positive about DK

He did stand on prinicpal to save that utliity company in Cleveland back in the 1970s. I do respect him for that, but I just don't see him winning.

9. stop dreaming??! Nope- never!

Dreams are what keep us alive...sounds like you might need to find some for yourself, Carlos. You are obviously not a happy camper....but you are the only one who can change that....

Peace
