Veep Poll without Clark

[JohnLocke]

Poll question: Veep Poll without Clark

[daveskilt]

1. problematic as it is - mccain

ONLY because I know so many republicans who would vote dem if and only if mccain was on the ticket. hell my marine corp mother in law would vote dem for the first time in her life if it was mccain on the ticket. Of course whether this is really a dem ticket is another question but I would rather a real rational normal republican was pres than bush who is not republican - he is way past that.

first choice for me is clark obviously.

[Auntie Bush]

4. Sorry...I'd be lying if I took this poll and you know

what happened to Bill Clinton when he lied.
This sounds like a push poll to me!

Re: McCain...my husband would like that too. But why do we need a Rep. when we can win the election with a Democrat? Who needs them.
"Yes", Mccain would bring in a lot of Reps. but more Nadeer and far left Liberals would be lost.

[daveskilt]

14. good points - I would just like to not worry for 8 months

and mccain would win a lot of untouchable repub states...midwestern and western states that vote straight repub but loved mccain more than bush.

but you are right. clark is the guy and who needs to compromise even more than we already are?

17. Irrelevant poll

Without Clark as a choice, I don't see what purpose it serves.

These polls don't have much purpose anyway, except reflect the opinions of what DU'ers think, and then only active DU'ers, and then only active DU'ers who choose to participate. So what's the point with this one? Except maybe to insult the Clark supporters.

[daveskilt]

22. i think this was in response to a request from another poll

which did include clark. the idea was he would win among Duers hands down and someone asked who would Du'ers go for if not clark hence this poll.

[Hippo_Tron]

42. He'd probably carry his home state...

But the dem backlash would be huge.

9. He can't; he's not a donor

[democratreformed]

10. Oh

[LincolnMcGrath]

12. me too

?

[newyawker99]

45. Hi jay-3d!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[thom1102]

11. What about Ed Rendell...

Governor of Pennsylvania? He has been mentioned more than once and I think he would be an excellent choice. He is a moderate from an important swing state with a lot of electoral votes, which has been leaning Bush for the upcoming election. He is Jewish, so he would carry some of the "Lieberman" factor from the 2000 election (helping in Florida). We can win without the south, and losing Edwards or any other Senator who would be replaced with a Republican, would put us even further behind in the Congress.

[LincolnMcGrath]

13. Edwards says he ain't runnin for Senate

?

[daveskilt]

15. we can do without the south - not just in the election just generally

I can dream.

[DaisyUCSB]

20. That is so demonsterably intolerant.The country can do without people like

you.

[daveskilt]

21. check my profile - where do I live?

in the south with many many people I like very much who are southern. dont get yer knickers in a twist. If only there was an icon for toungue in cheek I could have used....

[FreeSpeechCrusader]

23. I enjoy where i live in the south...

some parts are terrible, but others are quite nice and tolerant.

[daveskilt]

24. Once more i must confess my guilt - I was wrong.

after 3 years in georgia i am stunned to live where desegregation is still an issue.

but yes much of the south is lovely and so are many of its occupants.

[Kathleen04]

16. Voted Edwards n/t

[lucidmadman]

18. Max Cleland

If presented right, he will appeal to males between 40-60 years old throughout the South and Mid-West, a 'key' demographic in this election.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Other. n/t

[VOX]

25. Edwards.

:kick:

[Padraig18]

26. where the heck are all the 'McCain' votes coming from?

:wtf:

[Thrill]

27. Where is Phil Bredesen?

How can he be left off? If they are looking for a GOvernor. I would think a guy who balanced a budget that was in shambles would be up their. The guy is an economic genius

[Padraig18]

28. The same could be said for Gov. Mark Warner.

The problem is that there are only 10 spaces in a poll.

[surfermaw]

38. Probably from a republican board...since he is a republican

[citizen snips]

29. Edwards.

n/t

[Endangered Specie]

30. as I said in the other Veep poll... Graham = Florida = Election

[Padraig18]

32. And as I said, if that's so...

... then why did exit polling of FL voters indicate that they preferred Edwards over Graham for VP by a 5:2 margin? :shrug:

[Bombtrack]

36. Because of a couple of reasons, such as people having short memories

and democratic primary voters by a huge margin not being the best judges of exactly what factors go into electability. These people got convinced that Kerry was the most electable, more than Edwards or Clark, basically because he won Iowa and New Hampshire. And that is insane logic.

Also, about a 5th of all Florida primary voters voted for Edwards FOR PRESIDENTIAL nominee in the Florida primry, and more would have had Kerry not still been the nominee.

[dogman]

31. Which Nelson is which?

[JohnLocke]

43. Bill of Florida.

[dogman]

44. So , is he the first one listed

or the second one?

[Jack_Dawson]

33. Clark is not listed because...

:freak:

[democratreformed]

34. BECAUSE HE WOULD WIN ....... AND THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!

LOL couldn't resist myself.

[Jack_Dawson]

35. LOL

[atre]

37. I think others in another thread were interested in seeing

how support would break down if Clark were not a choice.

Some of you guys seem so hypersensitive... Not everything is an insult to Wesley Clark.

[mzmolly]

39. McCain???

:wtf:

[Duder]

40. Gallup: 30% of Dems want Edwards for veep -

Dean, Clinton, Clark, Gore, Gephardt, each get less than 5%.

[Leilani]

41. This is a pretty silly exercize!

We can't list Clark because he will win.

Huh?????
