There is no "other" or "neither" choices, IF they are the last two, who would you choose?

12. And the rest of the universe who keep saying they are THE TWO leaders bla blah
blah, and the other part of the universe who want you to think that this is over, it is a given who is going to "GET" the nomination...etc. I am sick of all of this talk, I want to prove a point here (if I am right about the results of this poll).

17. I somehow suspect if the poll were going the other way you'd be praising it.
For the record,I think the poll doesn't prove much either,and all the more reason why one should be dubious of all polls,agreeable or not,no?

20. typically, you'd be wrong. I've never put stock in a DU poll as indicative of anything ...
Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 10:39 AM by wyldwolf
...but the opinions of those on DU who happen to be online when it is posted.

10. Not enough Democrats to suit me. Two good ones, two strong ones,
two capable ones, two electable ones, but not the whole field.

15. Speaking of which
I know it is not cool to say this: but I wish Spears had dies instead of ANS. I am sick of Britney, at least ANS could have used her millions to start a foundation for women with boob sizes larger than their IQ.

14. Where's the freaking fire????????
We don't *NEED* to settle this right now. It's over a freaking year before many one of us have to make a decision on this matter.

Furthermore, right now the only thing I've decided about the 2008 election is that I want neither Obama nor Clinton to get the nomination. That is likely to change with at least Obama, but maybe both of them. I will not be evaluating that possibility until well after the end of the year.

Nobody can make a compelling argument that there is any urgency to selecting a candidate this far out from the primaries, let alone the nominating convention.

Where's the fucking fire?

Stop this insanity!!!

32. One big reason to change the hypothetical:
Because if enough people pretend, and get others to believe, that those are our only two choices, then they will BECOME our only two choices.

I vote resoundingly for Wes Clark!

33. I don't think every poll has to include every major candidate.
This poll limits it to two candidates. If someone wants to start a poll with more, go ahead. But the OP wants to know who we would vote for between these two.

It defeats the purpose of a poll if we can simply change it to include choices we want.

42. Even our presidential elections allow write-in candidates...
...it's true that they rarely win, but often the reason a write-in wins is that those officially on the ballot are such poor choices. I'm just sayin'...

30. Obama has a better chance of winning the presidency
America is tired of dynastic politics.

G.H.W. BUSH -> W.J. CLINTON -> G.W. BUSH -> H.R. CLINTON -> JEB BUSH ->

NO THANK YOU!

38. I only picked Hillary because Obama wasn't in the last debate..
I'm more familiar with Hillary and her positions on the issues, but less familiar with Senator Obama.

something tells me this will change, and if this poll was held after a debate in which Obama participated..he would get my vote.
