Poll question: How many of our presidential candidates have you donated to?
Until Dodd filibustered FISA, I had only given to my first choice, Kucinich. I thought that Dodd really deserved something for kicking that vile legislation to the curb, though.

Anybody else hedging their bets, or supporting more than one candidate?

1. I gave a small donation to Biden and Edwards early on....
But since Edwards stepped up the attack, I sent him a second donation. And now that he's really laying the blame on the corrupt 'big business', I'm in complete agreement. He has a clear vision, while the rest are waiting for their masters.

3. No matter who your candidate is--
--if you have the money, please donate to Dodd for his FISA filibuster.

4. The reason I haven't donated
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 01:17 AM by antiimperialist
I am rooting for a candidate who can lift the poor like me from our misery, to the extent that by 2012 I am financially well-off enough to make a donation to whoever runs for president in 2012.

9. He's smarmy charlatan, a snake oil salesman, and a fauxgressive fraud.
At least his victims are few in number.
Why do you ask - "Too wussy on LGBT issues?" - is that an important issue to you?

10. None - and I'm not financially distressed.
I need my money more than they do.

12. The poll is a push poll.
NO choice for "I don't want to ever give any money to a politician... they'd only use it."

16. Edwards, four or five times. Obama, once.
Haven't donated to Obama yet, but I plan on it...so I already counted it.
