1. well laid out poll! has all the options, not inflammatory. this is it.
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 08:25 PM by codegreen
though i've recently seen people write about the fact that some of them live in a state that will, more or less, definately not go to Bush.

perhaps there could be 2 different 3rd party columns, one aknowledging you live in a swing/red state, another insisting you do not.

but that's it

Undecided.

I'm still waiting for another canidate to EARN my vote. So far, no dice. :mad:

Is it wrong to want to vote FOR someone instead of holding my nose, AGAIN?

3. Naturally, I am expecting Kucinich to get the nomination.
He's the best and he would win at a brokered convention. If for some reason someone else gets the nomination (hopefully not a conservative like Dean), I guess I'll just have to do my best to defeate BUSH. Bush is the real enemy.

14. I voted that I would vote for the nominee

But what bothers me the most is the fact that we are being taken for granted, knowing how most of us dislike what Bush is doing to our country, we're just expected to just fall in line, no questions asked. I'm just so tired of being put down because of my loyalty to Dean, and my support for him still remains strong.

19. I haven't decided yet either, this state is VERY VERY picky
about the Democrats it's willing to vote for. Some of the candidates literally have a snowballs chance in hell here. Unfortunately a liberal from Massachusetts may very well fall into that category.

I'll have to do a wait and see here. I'm unhappy about the pressure bearing down from McCauliffe and others to hurry up and push a candidate. I'm also a bit off-put by a few things about their chosen one.

20. To clarify before I get flamed
If there is ANY CHANCE AT ALL of the Democratic nominee carrying my state I will work my ass off for him, no matter who it is.

If there is NO CHANCE of the Democratic nominee winning my state I'm not sure what I will do yet. Too far in the future to speculate.

18. I'll vote for the Democrat nominee. If people don't vote Democrat
because they wanted another Democrat to be the nominee, they should go ahead and just vote for Bush. ANY DEMOCRAT IS BETTER THAN TO HAVE BUSH FOR 4 MORE YEARS. RE-ELECT A DEMOCRAT 2004!!!!

23. The ones leaning or will vote 3rd party are Greens anyway
We didn't have their votes in 2000 and we won't have them in November. They are out to destroy the Democratic Party anyway as is any other opposition party. That's why I've been saying for months now that Greens are the enemy of working people.

Its the Green's fault that we have had Bush for the last 3 years. But that's not good enough for them. They've got to have Bush for another 5. They can't get enough of Bush.

"I'll take my marbles and I'm going home because you don't play right! Wah!" Greens absolutely defy reason. But don't expect them to understand anymore than you would expect someone in the insane asylum to listen to you seriously. You'll get the same reaction and they're convinced they're right.

24. I think there is a higher percentage
of lunatics among the DU population than among the general population.

27. Lunatics at DU....
Oh, dear, oh dear.....you are so right and I'm so saddened to see this. After all we have been through since 2000, it is unbelievable that some high-and-mighty purists will pout and stomp off the playing field if their favorite candidate doesn't get the nomination.

If only 528 of the 90,000 Nader voters in Florida hadn't done so in 2000, we wouldn't be experiencing this exquisite agony right now.

I am voting for whoever gets the nomination in the Democratic party and I am going to work my butt off for that candidate. I will swallow my pride and do what is necessary to rid our nation of a plague.

Why do these folks come to a Democratic discussion board if they are going to offer their votes to another party?

26. My Response To Your Locked Thread: Hey TIA... People's Feelings Are...
Still Pretty Raw, And...

after getting one's ass handed to them after suffering both derision and gloat, one is not too keen to let the deriders and gloaters have the satisfaction of our unwavering support.

So...

Step 1) Get Primaries behind us

Step 2) Lick wounds

Step 3) Have a great convention

Step 4) Focus on getting rid of Bush

Step 5) Fulfill step 4

:shrug:

:hi:
