Poll question: Which Republican would you most likely vote for?
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 04:17 AM by Tiggeroshii
Which of these Republicans would you be the most likely to vote for for president were they to win the nRepublican nomination?

This is, of course assuming you will not vote for a Republican at all. Hence, the "most likely"

1. I would vote for ANY Democrat over ANY Republican ANY day --
and if the Democratic option were really THAT bad, I would vote for a third party candidate (I live in MA and we can often get away with such things).

Why even ask this question?

2. Having voted for Nixon first time; i've learned never again.
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 04:42 AM by cyclezealot
Do however have some gruding respect for a couple of Republicns. Such as Paul McClouskey of Calif and WIlliam Milliken of Michigan. If they have signed Grover Norquists' no tax pledge , they are not moderates. I think Mcclouskey of Calif.( SP.?) from the Silicon Valley area to be reasonable. I'd certainly vote for McCloskey over Liebermann. Repukes who have not signed the Norquist pledge, one could count on their hand. I later see McCloskey is in the list. He has courage, recently his courage assisted in the defeat of a corrupt Calif. GOP congressman. McCloskey might be tempting. He has more courage than does Hillary as an example.
Hillary went along with the pro war crowd just to look STRONG. all imagery. Don't worry McCloskey has no future in the GOP.
In fact it seems MCcloskey was in the Congress when it enacted the War Powers act. He was a proponent even. Says really good things about McCloskey.

3. Just the thought
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 04:40 AM by depakid
That I'd ever cast a vote for a Republican is nauseating.

It won't happen, but it could be that I'd stay away- or not send off my ballot.

It depends on what I (and other voters) see.

12. Right, I reject the premise of the poll question. I am a Democrat.
I don't vote for Republicans. Simple concept.

30. Who was that reasonable Senate Republican (New Hampshire?) who was defeated by a Dem
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 08:12 PM by DuaneBidoux
I heard he had even considered becoming a Dem becaus of the drift toward extremism by the Republican party but I don't remember his name.
