Democratic candidates poll

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-13-2007, 12:07 PM

Yeah, it's early. I'm just so curious which one of these people you think should be the Democratic candidate, that I have to ask. There have been a lot of debates lately so there's plenty of info on where the candidates stand.

As for me, I'm not a Democrat, so I can't vote in primaries. Perhaps later I'll set up a Republican thread, but for now, the Clinton vs Obama vs Everyone Else stuff has me on the edge of my seat.

I believe these are the main runners - let me know if I missed anyone you'd vote for.

Give me a second to set up the poll...

I voted, but since I'm a Libertarian, my opinion will have no effect on the real winner of the primaries.

I'm a member of the Green party, still. (Pre-Bush, I was part of an active grassroots campaign to do away with the two-party system.) Guess I should actually change that now that I've been a democrat for... uh... seven years...

I have something like 480 days until I really need to decide, right?

At this point, I have no idea, I've been a registered democrat since I've been of voting age. I'm not entirely happy with any of the options and I'm also not well informed at this point. I'm trying to avoid it at least until January 2008.

I can say that after all these years I'm thinking of changing my affiliation to independent or libertarian or??

sorry an accidental double post

I have no friggin idea. There certainly isn't one that I feel is best at this point, although all of them are certainly more appealing than any republican candidate that I've seen. But as far as that list goes, I'm not sure that there is one of them that I want. Richardson probably comes closest.

I dig Richardson. While I've voted for a Democrat in every Presidential election, I've been a registered Libertarian for more than 2 decades. Like LSPE, I've considered switching back - if only to have a chance to vote in the primary elections - but there's a nagging voice in the back of my head that says, "Maybe this year the Libertarians won't be represented by a weirdo. Or at least the election won't be so close that you'll need to vote Democrat just to prevent the Republican from getting elected."

Logically, I know that both of those ideas are balderdash. The Libs will always have wackos, and my anti-right wing vote was never really that necessary in New York City, San Francisco, and won't be in Los Angeles.

Still...

I wish we had an option of "Anybody but Clinton"

I don't see why you'd need to be a registered or otherwise Democrat to vote in this poll.

My vote ... the super-unlikely-to-ever-be-nominated Dennis Kuchinich. He should be president of California when we sucede from the Union to form a more perfect nation.
