last thing any sane democratic voter would want is a 3rd party being able to win
goes against being a democratic voter one would think
btw-I didn't vote.
I don't like these polls as your vote is recorded and everyone could see it.
I would though vote to allow President Obama one term more than FDR had.

You could also look at the proposals as a way of getting more Democratic policies into law.
