Edwards vs. Kerry (my former candidate was...)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Poll question: Edwards vs. Kerry (my former candidate was...)

Assume Sharpton and Kucinich drop out and you have to pick either Kerry or Edwards. And of course you don't have to pick either and so don't have to vote here, but feel free to add comment such as "DEAN OR DIE".

I support (Kerry or Edwards) but was for...

1. Never waivered one little bit

33. Since Summer Of 2002

It was right around the time that Time put out their "Green Century" issue. I had been tentatively shopping around, but this put me squarely in his camp (or whatever you'd call it back then).

As you might be able to tell, I love to research the hell out of things that interest me, and the more I learned about Kerry the more impressed I became. I have to admit that the IWR vote seriously shook me, but I came to realize that he would have, by far, the best foreign policy of any of the candidates (believe me, I looked).

Not to mention a progressive rating from Public Citizen and LCV to go gaga over.

Here's that original article:

2. Was Clark.

Now voting for Kucinich in the Illinois primary.

[einniv]

3. Aww come on now we know Dennis will not be dropping out.

Why marginalize the last remaining grass roots candidate?

If you liked Dean you'll like Kucinich too.

Go see for yourself:

4. Was Dean, is Dean, will be Dean in the future.

Dean through the primary...the nominee in the GE.

[For PaisAn]

5. Clark and

Clark

[LWolf]

6. Kucinich.

[arewethereyet]

7. always for Edwards, noone else was even close

I can spot a winner a mile away

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Clark

Clark.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. I'm neutral at this point

I will support whoever gets the nomination. I don't feel any passion for either of the remaining candidates, and I honestly don't know which one would be more effective in taking on Bush. Each one has certain strengths and certain weaknesses.

I think that I will just sit it out and let the media and the party machine finish their job of picking the candidate for me. I am currently feeling very disempowered by this whole business.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

10. Edwards winning 30 to 17 so far

[NewYorkerfromMass]

11. 35 - 20

[Endangered Specie]

12. Seeing as to how the only thing I consider is electability in 2004

Went from Dean (bc I thought he had a great charisma, but that end the end bit him in the butt), to Kerry.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

13. 43 - 30 Edwards

[HFishbine]

14. Kucinich

from Dean.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. 1 Kerry, from Dean; 13 Edwards, from Dean.

I think I see a trend...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

16. 24 to Kerry from Clark, less than half that to Edwards

trends indeed.

[Padraig18]

19. Seems a fairly definitive 'sheep and goats' division.

I can't say I'm surprised, though. :shrug:

[Jai4WKC08]

57. Sheep and goats?

Puh-leezze.

How 'bout thinking vs. feeling?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

17. 48 - 39 Edwards

[Padraig18]

18. Edwards, from Dean.

Kerry will not get my vote until November, although I will work for him if he's nominated. until then, my #1 task is seeing that Kerry does NOT get our party's nomination.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

20. Aghhh my poor brain

Kerry... I think. I'd honestly be equally happy with either! :)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

21. 51 - 47 Edwards

[last_texas_dem]

22. Always for Edwards

Although he's essentially been in a tie w/ Kucinich all along for me, and I'm still not sure who I'll vote for in the most likely worthless TX primary...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

23. kick

[Cuban_Liberal]

24. Kick

[MrSlayer]

25. Kerry from Clark.

[Turkw]

26. neither, I'm ABB Democratic Nominee in the GE, till then, I've votin Clark

[adadem]

27. Kerry from Dean

back in the late spring.

[Endangered Specie]

28. From Dean to kerry, but I hope Edwards puts up a fight still

[edzontar]

29. I'll take Tweedledum. Is he the guy on the right?

Anyway, I like MUCH better than the other one.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

30. 63 - 57 Edwards

[diamondsoul]

31. Well you know

what they say about assumptions...

But Kucinich, period. There is nobody else, although if I HAD to choose another candidate it would be Dean. (and BTW Dean is not OUT yet. He may be at some point, but this isn't it.)

[Slice]

32. I am leaning towards Kerry

I am leaning towards voting for Kerry and I was previously for Senator Bob Graham. Since he dropped out I have been looking at all of the candidates and was enamored with General Clark, until he also dropped out.

[tobys]

34. Kucinich

[drewb]

35. me too!

:loveya:

[poskonig]

36. Kerry from Dean

:kick:

[Piperay]

37. Kerry from Clark

with the General's endorsement.

[Dying Eagle]

38. Always Kerry

I have supported and worked for Kerry since Oct.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

39. 75 - 67 Edwards

[anti-NAFTA]

40. Edwards from Gephardt.

Yes, I was a Dean supporter before Wisconsin; but that was kinda half-hearted. Gephardt is where I'm really at.

[ozone_man]

41. Dean all the way.

None of this switching for me. Edwards and Kerry are not much better than Bush.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

42. 79 - 70 Edwards

[FG9942]

43. I would have voted for Kerry but

after reading http://tinyurl.com/3ffrw
I have changed my mind.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

44. 83 - 75 Edwards

[AgadorSparticus]

45. Kerry from undecided

I really liked most of the candidates. If I knew Sharpton or Kucinich could win, they'd have my vote in a heartbeat. But I want bush gone. So, really, either candidate would be AOK with me.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

46. 85 - 83 Edwards

[NewYorkerfromMass]

47. Tied at 85

[LuminousX]

48. I'm Kerry from Dean, but reluctantly

As Kerry is the only candidate left that meets my criteria for who I will consider to be Presidential material. He will be the beneficiary of my anti-Bush vote.

If I campaign for him, it will be handing out clothespins with Vote Kerry signs attached while I wear my Dean buttons.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

49. 87 - 86 Kerry

[NewYorkerfromMass]

50. Tied

[TexasSissy]

51. Undecided (from Clark)

[RichM]

52. Kucinich or 3rd party.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

53. 90 - 89 Kerry

[NewYorkerfromMass]

54. Tied at 90

[NewYorkerfromMass]

55. Well one thing is clear from this so far

Clark supporters prefer Kerry and Dean's Edwards.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

56. Edwards leads by one vote now
