Who would you vote for in the general: Kerry, Bush or Dean?

Poll question: Who would you vote for in the general: Kerry, Bush or Dean?

Imagine if Howard Dean commits the unforgivable sin of running as a third party candidate - thereby all but killing any chance of the Democrats defeating George W. Bush this November.

Who would you vote for?

[Terwilliger]

1. OK...could we END this?? Howard Dean is NOT a Green and never will be

he doesn't believe in Green party values and I think Greens would be ridiculously conflicted if they promoted someone like Dean as party leader.

So....PLEASE!!

[Colin Ex]

4. Word to that.

Dean belongs in the green party like Karl Marx belongs in the Constitution Party.

[Cuban_Liberal]

9. Word.

:)

[DFLer4edu]

10. I'll second that!

[NoPasaran]

2. The guy with the (D) after his name

whoever that is

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. An unlikely assumption

because Dean has said he'd support the Democratic candidate, just as I will. (Note: I usually vote third party in presidential elections)

[jeter]

11. Dean has said much that he has reneged on lately

I'm beginning to seriously question Dean's mental state.

[West Coast Democrat]

5. Is this supposed to be serious?

wtf?

[patricia92243]

6. The Green Party was not even on the ballot in NC last election.

[Duncan Grant]

7. GD: 2004 Primary is now officially irrelevant. Shut it down Skinner. -nt-

[seventhson]

8. I do not think this is a possible scenario

so I am voting for Dean just on principle.

[poskonig]

12. This is a good poll...

for me to POOP ON! :crazy:

[Guava Jelly]

13. Clark

I would vote for Clark

[gristy]

14. Should have clarified if Instant Runoff Voting would be used.

IRV is wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't know of one damn politician who thinks so.

on edit: I always edit

[aldian159]

15. Who the hell voted Bush?

n/t

[Mass_Liberal]

16. Kerry

although I'm sad you force me into such a position. Howard won't run on a 3rd party ticket. Period. I'm voting for him a dem instead.

[David__77]

17. Who are these people saying "green" and why am I suspicious.

This serves nothing. Fight for the Democratic Party--it's worth fighting for. I'm voting for Dean in my state's primary, but he will not be a Green candidate--this is a rightist fantasy.

[killbotfactory]

18. How many goddamned times does Dean have to say he'll support the nominee

Before you'll take him at his word.

Jesus Christ.

[texasmom]

19. The General in the general n/t

[corporatewhore]

20. DAVID COBB!!!! The green party cannidate

[Piperay]

21. 'Yellow Dog Democrat' here...

I will NEVER vote for anyone who isn't a Democrat.

22. I am locking this thread...

This thread is inflammatory. Governor Dean is not a Green Party candidate.
