If you voted today from the following: Hillary, Edwards or Obama

[Imagevision]

All responses are greatly appreciated - let's see where DU stands??

[the other one]

1. Edwards

Maybe a poll would be easier.

[Mass]

2. Of these three, it would be Obama, but my choice is Kerry or Gore,

and I am looking at Richardson and Clark.

[catabryna]

3. Edwards (n/t)

[xultar]

4. OBAMA.

[Deep13]

5. Of those three: HRC

She's the only one with the fund-raising skills and political savy to take on the Rove machine. Frankly, I think the other two are a little flakey--great speakers but no real management experience to back it up. Obama in particular hasn't even finished his first term in the Senate.

Top choice: Bill Richardson.

[bdamomma]

6. Edwards

you never know who will be his running mate will be???????????????

[Apollo11]

7. John Edwards

Today John Edwards is the strongest of the candidates who already announced.

But I haven't lost hope that Al Gore will change his mind and enter the race sometime this fall, if he sees that enough people want him to run.

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore!

In Gore We Trust :)

10. Barack Obama, so far...

[Warpy]

8. Edwards is the only one talking about kitchen table issues

something we haven't heard for 38 years.

It would have to be Edwards. At least he's noticed what the problem is. The other two are oblivious and think corporations will solve everything.

[Dhalgren]

9. Of these three, it would have to be Edwards. He isn't my first choice,

but of the three, he's the one.

[mnhtnbb]

11. John Edwards. No contest. I'm thinking of volunteering for his campaign,

since I live in Chapel Hill.

[Wizard777]

12. Edwards n/t

[Wizard777]

14. Even better! Edwards/Obama Yeah that's the Ticket. n/t

[peace13]

13. Edwards from that group.

[itsmesgd]

15. Edwards

[RubyDuby in GA]

16. Edwards

[elfin]

17. Edwards

Hillary is, well, Hillary and Obama will break our hearts. No way is this racist country going to put a black family in the white house. No matter how gifted.

On the race issue - while he may not strike many as "black" - his wife and kids will. This should not be a factor, but people are dreaming of a different America than the one in which we now live. I think he is putting himself and his young family in far greater peril than other candidates.

The "polls" may say otherwise - but once in the booth --- well, you know the story ala Harold Ford.

I pray for Gore, but will vote for anyone with viable creds other than Hillary or Obama at this point.

[NYCGirl]

18. Obama. NT

[Nedsdag]

19. It's between Obama and Edwards.

No way does Hillary get my vote.

[GreenArrow]

20. in order:

Obama
Clinton
Edwards

Don't really see much to choose from though, and I really, really dislike Clinton and Edwards.

[abburdlen]

21. Obama

While I hope to have other choices in the primaries of those three I'd easily vote for Obama. He's demonstrated wisdom in being against the Iraq fiasco all along, proven his intelligence being the President of the Harvard Law Review, shown his commitment to average Americans as a civil right attorney and advocating for the poor in Chicago. Plus I can see him bringing people to the polls how tend to ignore politics.

I won't say I dislike either Edwards or Clinton but I'm not impressed them as Presidential candidates.

[AndyA]

22. John Edwards.

I think he has what it takes to be President.

I will vote for the Dem candidate regardless, but at this point in time I'm leaning strongly toward Edwards.

How about a Edwards/Obama ticket?
Edwards/Clinton?
Edwards/Clark?

[rock]

23. Edwards

[generaldemocrat]

24. I'd vote Richardson, if Clark doesn't run....

but then again it's way to early.

[Hoosier Dem]

25. My head says Edwards...

but my heart says Obama. Of course, if Gore gets in, I'm going Gore.

If Edwards is the nominee, I think Richardson would make a great VP candidate orWes Clark.

[Clark2008]

34. I am so tired of hearing this.

Wes Clark will never be Edwards VP. Trust me on this one. Better yet, ask his son.

[ripple]

26. Obama

then Edwards, then Clinton.

[elocs]

27. Ah, but I'm not voting today. So I'll wait until it is closer to next year. n/t

[citizen snips]

28. Edwards

Hillary has a big unfavorable rating.

[bajamary]

29. GO-08

Gore/Obama 08

GO-08

[Adelante]

30. Like this, of the three

Obama
Clinton







Edwards

[Catchawave]

31. Edwards

http://johnedwards.com/ :patriot:

[bling bling]

32. If the vote were today:

edited to copy wesdems format because I feel exactly the same way

Obama then Clinton then




Edwards.

[Clark2008]

33. Wes Clark

I don't have a second favorite, yet, but I can tell you it won't be Edwards.

[KingofNewOrleans]

35. Edwards

unlikely to back Hillary or Obama in the primary. Richardson and Vilsack are on my radar screen.

[ileus]

36. Hillary

[yy4me]

37. Edwards.

[DaveinMD]

38. I don't know yet

but I'd lean Edwards over Obama. Close though.

[hopein08]

39. John Edwards

[caledesi]

40. Edwards/Obama - a winning ticket

[ieoeja]

41. Obama

Followed by Edwards. Then probably the Republican unless the GOP nominates yet another whack job.

Ideologically my vote would be (in order):

Old Fashioned Liberal
Old Fashioned Conservative
Neo-Con
Neo-Lib

I give the Neo-Con an edge over the Neo-Lib because election of Neo-Libs makes the move Right bipartisan. I'd rather any move further Right be viewed as purely partisan. I also find the former Far Right claiming to be mainstream less dishonest than a Neo-Lib (Old Right) claiming to be Left.

[BrokenBeyondRepair]

42. i'd stay home

[PresidentObama]

43. Of those three? Obama!

But I'm for Kerry.

Obama is impressive though, I will give him credit where credit is due. Edwards also seems like a good candidate, but I have my questions about John Edwards. And Hillary does nothing for me right now, and I'd like her to bring more to the table then her Clinton name.

[saltpoint]

44. Of these 3, Edwards.

For many considerations, but not least the idea that I'm sick of a styrofoam first lady like Laura Bush and would greatly prefer a more dynamic spirit for that role.

[Jacklyn75]

45. Edwards!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[question everything]

46. Edwards. Got my support and vote in 2004

and will get it again in 2008

[Cascadian]

47. Obama n/t

[mod mom]

48. Edwards. (but still hoping for Gore)

[Alhena]

49. Obama

[hamerfan]

50. Edwards.

A poll would've been easier.
dumpbush

[SemperEadem]

51. Edwards

[Robson]

77. Edwards

Edwards - Obama. I like Gore too as he has been 100% correct. I don't see Obama as the candidate for POTUS though. Too much of an unknown, too inexperienced and he will lose votes because of race (fact....like it or not).

[distantearlywarning]

52. Edwards. n/t

53. Edwards n/t

[ChiciB1]

54. Edwards....n/t

55. Of those three, Edwards.

[OhioChick]

56. Edwards n/t

[Digit]

57. Edwards

Definitely

[AtomicKitten]

58. Obama

but Gore first if he throws his hat in the ring

[elizm]

59. Today....leaning towards Obama..

I'm wanting someone who inspires me.

[VOX]

60. Edwards, by a very long mile. Then Obama, then Hillary. n/t

[AJH032]

61. NOT Edwards

Obama or Clinton is fine by me.

[Ninja Jordan]

62. Edwards

[MasonJar]

63. I am leaning toward Hillary, but my real choice is Al Gore. Obama

and Edwards and Clark and Kerry and Richardson are also my "cup of tea." I am totally open-minded at this point. I advise my fellow DUers to give Hillary a chance.

[EndElectoral]

64. Of these three I could vote for Edwards, maybe Obama, never Hilary

[durtee librul]

65. Edwards, Obama

and then a VERY distant HRC. Can't take her. She is the death knell for us in '08 imho. Too much baggage to go around and it would just be open season and I for one, am sick of handing them the ammo to shoot us down.

[AJH032]

81. all 3 of these have baggage

Edwards, Obama, and Clinton (especially Edwards, actually).

If baggage is your reasoning, better find someone else.

[mtnsnake]

99. What baggage does Obama have?

He's about the only one who DOESN'T have baggage.

[rhombus]

66. Obama, then Edwards. No to Hillary

Ideally, Clark or Gore.

[Geek_Girl]

67. Edwards

but only because he has the best chance of winning.

[mtnsnake]

68. Of the three,...Obama, then Hillary. Edwards stands no chance of winning,

[PaDem]

69. Edwards.............

time for a change. Hillary would make 28 years of Clinton/Bush.

[Beaverhausen]

70. Edwards

[lumpy]

71. Edwards

v

[Gloria]

72. Edwards. I've been doing a ton of research on Hillary and I really

don't believe in her anymore at all. I think she and her club will destroy all the gains we've made vis a vis the netroots and "crashing the gate."

[LibDemAlways]

73. Edwards would get my vote.

[Dean Martin]

74. Obama, then Edwards, than either Independent or not voting at all

if Hillary wins the nomination. I'm sorry, but I will not vote for a Clinton under any circumstances. At least not the way things stand right now.

[jefferson_dem]

75. Obama.

That is all.

[beachmom]

76. Seriously, I just don't know. I am very unhappy with this field. n/t

[Leilani]

78. Obama

[woo me with science]

79. Obama nt

[Blue_Roses]

80. Obama

[TSIAS]

82. Obama

I respect his opposition to the Iraq War from the beginning. I think he'll show the judgment of a true president.

[FrenchieCat]

83. Of the three, I prefer Obama.....

and if it was only those three running, Obama would not win the nomination because too many so called "progressives" would end up fulfilling the prophecy of making sure to cast their vote for someone else offering the "excuse" that Obama cannot win (same goes for Hillary)...although out of the three Obama actually is the better choice because although he and Edwards offer up some similar qualities (youth, hope, charisma), the Black guy has superior oratory, really did work for issues for the poor for a long time before having political aspirations and really did call the war dumb before it started rather than three years after the fact.

[usregimechange]

84. Edwards.

[JohnLocke]

85. Edwards (nt).

[IndianaGreen]

86. Given the choices, I would vote for Obama, followed by Edwards

I'll have to be real drunk to vote for Hillary.

[enigmatic]

87. Obama

I think the stars are aligning for him right now.

[MasterDarkNinja]

88. Obama, with Edwards as a very close second choice.

[Milo_Bloom]

89. Obama, because the others are disqualified

IWR disqualifies Edwards and Hillary from ever receiving a vote from me.

[nadinbrzezinski]

90. Obama, Edwards, Clinton

and quite honestly I wish we had more choices, like oh Kucinish

[HCE SuiGeneris]

91. E, O, C, in that order...n/t

[leftofthedial]

92. Obama

but I'd vote for any one of them should they receive the nomination

[Duppers]

93. EDWARDS ! nt

nt

[aaronbees]

94. Obama

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

95. Edwards I guess,

Clinton = Vichy Democrat
Obama = Inch Wide, Inch Deep

[marions ghost]

96. Edwards

(except if Gore ran....)

[ProudDad]

97. Clark

probably...

[ooga booga]

98. Edwards

DU is not a great sample of America though. Remember Ned Lamont.

I think he has the best chance to win at this time.

[ShortnFiery]

105. None of the Above. I will vote for Kucinich if I have to write him in. n/t

[mnhtnbb]

106. Looks like Hillary doesn't win it at DU today.

[Lord Byron]

107. Edwards (no to DLC and corporate machine candidates)

[Rowdyboy]

108. Edwards

[hippiechick]

109. Of those 3: Edwards.

Dream ticket? Gore/Feingold. :applause:

[underpants]

110. Edwards

[sampsonblk]

111. Hillary

Obama is far too inexperienced for me, and Edwards is...just plain awful. I'd go for a third party or write-in before I'd vote for Edwards.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

112. Hillary

then Obama.

[youthere]

113. Of those three? Obama. My first pick would be CLARK.

[UCLA Dem]

114. Obama or Hillary. Haven't yet made up my mind.

Edwards is after a possible Gore run in my opinion.

This will be an interesting primary nonetheless.
