3. Would a "don't know yet" option be useful?

It could be that a lot of people are still undecided, and so any outcome could be more wide open that a simple "who's your candidate" question can show.

[bobthedrummer]

4. It's my poll, it has all announced Democratic candidates, and that's the way it is.

eom

[Apollo11]

6. It's perfectly legitimate

"If your primary was taking place today - how would you vote?"

It's just a poll asking who is your top pick right now.

Of course you can always change your mind tomorrow.

[PatSeg]

5. Yes it would

It would give a better overview.

[bobthedrummer]

7. kick, maybe non-US citizens and others might want to start their own poll

that's my final word to "critics" and operatives.

[Debi]

8. Yeah, and if we don't behave ourselves bobthedrummer might just

take his poll and go home! :hide:

Just kidding btd...I agree w/you :hi:

[bobthedrummer]

9. Like you, I'm never alone

:hi:

[NewHampster]

11. Are these registered voters or likely to caucus voters?

Ahh the value of early polls, especially ones that show the leanings of DU.

Go Dennis, the DU poll has you in the lead.

[Debi]

13. Hey, as a fellow early stater don't you enjoy the polling?

Iowa had three last week - all with different criteria for 'caucus attenders' and all had a different out-come.

Just as an aside...any clue when your primary is? I'd just like to know so I'll learn when my caucus will be held :shrug:

[NewHampster]

14. When is the NH primary

January 8 is the date being thrown around the most but I keep hearing serious talk about December.

Funny about the polls. I haven't been polled once this cycle. I've done my Zogby but that's all.

What I truly love is being able to meet any possible future President and even meeting and being interviewed by the national press.

The other night we were finishing dinner at a local restaurant and the server asked if we were going into the bar to meet Mike Huckabee. My wife did and bumped into 3 OB supporters. We all like to have fun listening to the crazies too.

18. I was unaware of Fred Thompson being on campus yesterday

until I saw it on the news. x( That I would have liked to see (just to see who all was there with him!)

:hi:

[rasputin1952]

21. Fred Thompson was unaware of being on campus yesterday...

that man is dumber than bush, and that is incedible...:D

[Debi]

22. !!

:spray: You are correct :hi:

[AZ Criminal JD]

38. Don't underestimate Thompson

We did that with another actor in 1980.

[Ken Burch]

42. "unware of being on campus"?

You're saying the guy didn't know WHERE HE WAS?????

And by next year he could have control of nuclear weaponry?

:wtf: :wow: :scared:

15. K&R

I meant to vote for Edwards, but my fingers wanted to vote for Kucinich more. I know this is lame, but he just doesn't look the part. (Goddess forgive me!)

[fenriswolf]

34. for shame

the president represents our issues not our good looks. but we still ahve time.

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Kucinich, of course.

I gotta say, though, that this poll is mostly interesting for the clear way in which it shows the stark contrast between DU and reality.

[bobthedrummer]

23. All 8 announced candidates are reality, JR, and DU is an information warfare battleground

that's also reality. NGU.

[LSdemocrat]

24. Another vote for "Don't know yet"

[dugggy]

25. What a shocker...Kucinich leads on DU...hmm

while Kucinich is at the very BOTTOM amongst national democratic polls.
Surprise surprise.

[frog92969]

41. I don't believe the polls

any more than I believe the news.

32. kicking cause the OP told me to! n/t

[robinlynne]

33. I would add undecided, and it would be great to see at least 2000 responses, so we can really

see a large cross-section of DU. Any chance the mods can make this an official poll and send it to everyone.
There are also people who are going to write-in, or so they say.

[ProudDad]

35. K&R -- May the best candidate win

never mind, he already is!!!

DK!!

[Catchawave]

36. Bedtime in Virginia kick :)

37. Kicking For Kucinich

[Roland99]

[orleans]

39. undecided--didn't vote. sorry. n/t

[frog92969]

40. Kooch!!

[DRoseDARs]

43. Pity vote for Gravel; a recent pol test said I had more in common with his stances than with Dennis'

I wanted a Dean/Kucinich ticket in '04, but that was never going to happen. I'd like to see Kucinich continue to be willing to have a fire under his butt about many issues as well as continue his willingness to light fires under other peoples' butts to get them to do the right thing too. I don't see him in the White House as President or VP, but he'd certainly make a good cabinet member or Senator if he ever chooses that route.

[Apollo11]

44. Yesterday I voted Edwards, today I am thinking Obama

I think it has to do with Obama's speech in Chicago yesterday (Tuesday).

I think it's the best speech of the whole campaign (by any candidate) up until now.

Is it too late to change my vote? :eyes:

:kick:

[snot]

45. Kucinich, no contest --

I'm tired of excuses for why we can't stand up for what's right.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. kick for crack of doom in Texas.

sticking with Edwards, who won our state wide Epoll by a huge margin.

[Catchawave]

51. This is why figure skating judges throw out the

highest and lowest scores.....

Ahhh, the picture comes into focus now :evilgrin:

[William769]

52. One thing this poll shows is there will be a lot of EHS going on when the nominee is picked.

[Vidar]

53. Kucinich with Edwards as backup plan.

[slick8790]

62. You can't honestly believe this represents any slice of reality.

Kucinich is ahead here, but there's a reason why hes polling 5% or below in the real world.
