Clark, Edwards, and Kerry supporters, please vote in this poll.

Poll question: Clark, Edwards, and Kerry supporters, please vote in this poll.

Over the past few days, there have been many, many, many posts by Dean supporters who assume that because some of us have serious issues with his electibility that we are suddenly ABD where the general election is concerned.

I, for one, am not. I will vote for Dean if he wins the nomination.

I would vote for a pet rock against Bush.

I wanted to assume that most Clark, Edwards, and Kerry supporters would agree, but that would be presumptuous, so I ask you to vote.

1. Even I would vote for Dean

in the GE *IF* he won the nomination, and I strongly dislike Dean.

[mmonk]

2. turkey sandwich

'nuff said.

[boxster]

37. I love that one.

:D

[Rowdyboy]

3. I've always said, upfront, I'll vote Democratic

regardless of the name in front of the "D". Its too important that Bush be denied an outright "win". One more term and the courts (and most likely the country) are gone for decades.

[zanana]

4. I can't believe there are two votes for "stay home"!

Wow. I'm a Kerry supporter myself, but I'd even vote for Lieberman if he was nominated to defeat Bush.

[jbfam4]

5. Agree,

but I would have to hold my nose to vote for Liberman, but would do it against Bush*in a heart beat.

[deminflorida]

6. Me too...

I rather eat a Sh*t sandwich but I'd vote for Lieberman too.

[jpgray]

7. No kidding! (nt)

[boxster]

9. Don't discount the possibility that those are not C, K, or E supporters.

16. Here's a link to a stay-at-homer..

...Dean supporter

[boxster]

42. Yeah, they've gotten rather vocal in the past few days.

[Clark Can WIN]

15. I'm going to go out on a limg and suggest those may be sabatoge votes

from some Dean supporters.

[Anaxamander]

17. And now 3 votes for * ! (nt)

[Bucky]

24. I can believe there are "stay home" & "vote Bush/Green". We got freepers.

Freepers who lurk vote to disrupt our poll. This is a good way of gauging how many Freepos we have.

[boxster]

27. Honestly, I included them as options for that very reason.

I knew it would be easier to separate the lurkers/disruptors.

[Rich Hunt]

32. exactly right

I -know- that they are here.

You can tell because they don't pass as Democrats very well - they don't understand the logic behind typical Democrat issues.

[Democrats unite]

8. I have always said I will vote for the...

Democratic nominee.

[Cuban_Liberal]

10. Solidly ABB!

I'll vote for my party's nominee, unless it would be LaRouche.

[FreeperSlayer]

11. ABB! Period.

Bush Out!

[Clark Can WIN]

12. I wouldn't be happy, but I would do it

because we MUST get Bush out to prevent more wars and to restore our standing in the UN.

[AP]

13. I would vote for him, but I'd be less enthused than, say, Mondale race.

I'd be less enthused than Gore.

Those dems lost.

[Jack_Dawson]

14. I would need to re-up on my cough syrup, but I would do it.

[boxster]

19. Hey, ya gotta do what it takes.

Hehe.

[sandnsea]

18. Supreme Court,

must... vote... dean... I'd have to.

[MsUnderstood]

20. The party should treat this like a family does

Look I have some people who I do not get along with in my family, but when a crisis happens (ie death, trauma) we put aside our differences and do what needs to be done.

I will vote ANYONE but BUSH. That means that if Lieberman gets the vote I would swallow my frustration and check his name. Every person who wants to end the tyranny of BUSH should agree that regardless of what happens, we need to join together and get rid of bush. ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN BUSH. Sad but true.

If we keep bush for 4 more years we will face: constitutional amendment allowing discrimination (ie protection of marriage for heterosexuals), the draft, more war, less freedom, lies, more fear. . .must I go on?

Protect yourself, your family, your way of life.

[boxster]

21. I agree. There are STILL too many people who claim that some of our

candidates are no better than Bush.

That's ludicrous. As you said, anything is better than Bush and any Democrat would be light-years better than the current administration. Considering what the Bush Administration has affected negatively in barely 3 years, the thought of what they can demolish in another 4 is unthinkable!

[The Magistrate]

22. Persons Who said They Would Not Vote For The Nominee

Ought to be ashamed of themselves.

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Bucky]

23. This poll is inaccurate. If 84% say "won't vote for Dean", it's a 15% MoE

99% of nonDean supporters will vote for the nominee, no matter what. Clark might be 98% because he draws more independents and vets. But one you hear your candidate, whoever it is, attack Bush, there's virtually no chance you'd personally vote for the monkey-who-flies.

[boxster]

26. I agree. 80% is about what I was hoping for, counting 20% or so for

frustrated Dean supporters and others intentionally skewing the poll.

I mainly wanted to confirm my thought that most of us are Democrats first and that beating Bush is a primary goal, regardless of who the nominee is. Too many Dean supporters have been suggesting otherwise in the Dean-post-Iowa era.

I, too, have little doubt that once the dust settles and we have a nominee, everyone will realize that anything is better than another 4 years for Bush.

[Clark Can WIN]

29. I thnk you read it backwards guy.

it says 84% would vote for Dean. I'm thinking it's probably much higher than that but it's been skewed by sullen Dean supporters who want to make it look bad.

[boxster]

31. I'm sure that's what he meant, based on the rest of his posting.

[mohc]

25. Keep in mind

If Dean wins the nomination, more than likely there will be several states where there is simply no chance that Dean could win. Living in TN, it is quite possible that I will be facing the decision to either vote for a candidate I do not particularly like that I know can not win, or try and find someone else to vote for that I like (that also could not win). I will vote for Dean in a heartbeat if the race is competitive, but I am still unsure of what I will do if the things go the way I expect.

[WilliamPitt]

28. IMHO, the word 'duh' should be parenthetical in the first option

If Dean is the nominee, he has my vote. Duh. :)

[boxster]

30. It's an implied 'duh'.

Hehe.

[Uzybone]

33. Ill vote for Dean

very enthusiastically. To me its about replacing Bush.

[VelmaD]

34. Repeat after me...

ANYBODY BUT BUSH

[boxster]

35. All together now...Bush must go! Bush must go!

Get out of our house! Get out of our house!

:D

[sistersofmercy]

36. I would vote for Dean if he got the nomination. n/t

[John_H]

38. I'll proudly vote for, work for and raise money for Dean over Bush

[boxster]

39. kick

for the post-work, pre-debate crowd!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

40. I get the feeling there were a few spoiler votes cast.

[boxster]

41. About 25 or so, maybe?

:P

[PopSixSquish]

43. Absolutely!!!

and proud to do so.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

44. I'd vote for Dean but he damn well better have a very strong VP that's all

I have to say. AND also give a lot of power to the VP - like have him handle ALL foreign affairs.

Dean could do just find with the domestic end of it EXCEPT for the criminal justice end - no appointing judges for him...
