If Hillary were to win the Dem. Nomination - would you vote for her?

Poll question: If Hillary were to win the Dem. Nomination - would you vote for her?

I'm curious to see what kind of support she would really have from our own party in a General Election.

[stray cat]

1. Not my first choice - but alsolutely yes!

[Xipe Totec]

2. Nice Post, Karl (nt)

[panader0]

3. When running against any of the repubs, yes.

[JackintheGreen]

5. Agreed

[99th_Monkey]

4. I've been practicing holding my nose, just in case I have to vote for her. n/t

[Fridays Child]

6. Whether "my candidate" or someone else, I'll vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination

We cannot lose sight of the very real fact that the "worst Democrat" is better than the best Republican.

[anniebelle]

7. No question about it! Against ANY repuke! n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Absolutely, even though she is not my first choice. Any of the

Democrats seeking the nomination will be better than any of the Republicans that are running.

9. I'd vote for Billy Mays if he were the Democratic candidate.

[Happyhippychick]

11. He's the Crazy Eddie of detergent.

[hisownpetard]

25. SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!

[Happyhippychick]

31. His prices are INSANE!!!!

[Bluebear]

14. Imagine listening to HIS speeches for four years!

[Tesha]

16. "But I'll include, with my Presidency, not just one, but *TWO* orange-clean tax cuts!" (NT)

[hisownpetard]

28. AND A SET OF GINSU KNIVES!

[hisownpetard]

26. He might make me want to put food on my family.

[L0oniX]

15. Repuke gets into the matting and the padding so we need Billy Mays.

[Tesha]

10. I will vote further left of Hillary. 'Shame your poll didn't include that option.

But with every passing day, it looks less and less likely
that I will have to worry about voting for Hillary Clinton;
she's looking less and less "inevitable" as the Democratic
nominee, and I can vote for any of the other contenders
and enthusiastically support three of them.

12. i can't wait for the freaking out posts to show up

screaming for banishment of ## of voters who voted for XYZ. that's always my favorite part of these threads.

[Saturday]

13. Of course I will. n/t

[itsrobert]

17. Absolutely

Why wouldn't I?

[Adelante]

18. Of course nt

[jeff30997]

19. No.Absolutely not.No way.Impossible.

Look at my avatar.

[Sparkly]

20. .

:spank:

[Xipe Totec]

30. Oh, sure, blame Canada

Where are your friends when you need them?

:rofl:

[Yael]

21. Definitely down ticket, and hopefully won't have a cold that day

but I don't think we are going to have to worry about that.

[HockeyMom]

22. I'd rather have Hillary, than Huckabee

No question.

[stillcool]

23. yup...

[peacetalksforall]

24. I can't vote in the poll because I don't know what I would do. I would dread

a win by her because I see perpetual war, loving lobbyists (the kind I don't like), the DLC for four more years at the minimum, and a Republican media - loaded up for a hate fest. Formidable odds for me the way it looks now. This is a real come down for me - I fought for her and defended her and sent money for causes she solicited - all through the 90's. Something went wrong with me. The war, the lukewarm issues she embraced - while doing nothing for the issues that are important to me - my vote, my Constitution and Bill of Rights, the torture, the killing, the maiming, the theft of mental and spiritual health of our kid-soldiers, absent and missing investigations. She was missing on everything important to me since she became a Senator. Sorry, I'm not saying what some want me to say. I hear her supporters speak for and about her and admit that we are not on the same wave. I can't support the DLC in any form and they are backing her completely, it appears.

[Occam Bandage]

27. Absolutely.

[dnbmathguy]

29. Of course I would

She would be miles better than any of the Republicans.

[Mz Pip]

32. I'll vote for Gilbey

before I'd vote for a Republican. Of course I'll vote for Hillary!

[MaineDem]

33. This again?

This is not going to tell you "what kind of support she would really have from our own party in a General Election"

Good grief.

[Superman Returns]

34. hmm

It depends. I would consider Bloomberg if he was in it.

[ripple]

35. I don't answer hypotheticals

:P

No, really, I would vote for her, but that's all I would do. No campaigning, no donations, no yard sign... nothing. And I would brace myself for a republican congress. She's the one and only person that can effectively rally the republican base- their own candidates can't do it, but Hillary can.

[RoadRage]

42. Yup..

That's the same camp i'm in.. would vote begrudgingly.. but would be better then a Republican.

I just started the pole because i've seen a lot of posts that say "I DESPISE HILLARY AND WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HER" and these are Dems.. so i'm thinking.. is she worse then a Huckabee?

I'm ALL ABOUT Obama.. but if (god forbid) NH explodes and bad things happen after that, and she was the ticket.. i'd vote for her. But I wouldn't brag about it..

Obama 08!

[alcibiades_mystery]

36. Anybody on these boards who would not vote for the Dem nominee is an asshole

Pure and simple. A childish and stupid little asshole.

[Tesha]

37. Thank you very much. But I've read enough of your posts to know you're "projecting". (NT)

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. Are you the president of my fan club

or only the treasurer?

[Kucinich4America]

38. Hillary needs to drop out of the race right now.

The DLC demanded that Howard Dean drop out of the race after his third place finish in Iowa. Since Hillary is a DLC candidate, she should live up to their own standards.

[glad_to_be_home]

39. Definitely!

I've planned to vote for Clinton since election night 2004, when the unthinkable happened and that idiot from Texas "won" a second term. Of course I didn't know for sure that she was planning on running back then, but it gave me something to look forward to. Now that she is running, I'm doing all I can to convince others to vote for her. Obama is a great guy, and IF he wins the Dem nomination over Clinton, I'll absolutely vote for him, but he's not my first preference. I think experience is the most important asset for our candidate, and Hillary simply has a lot more of it than Obama.

[fadedrose]

41. Why don't I believe this poll?

[Mr_Monday]

43. Hell yes!

Any democrat in the Whitehouse is better than a republican.

[calteacherguy]

44. I would. nt

[Cass]

45. Of course, and for those who say no, what about SC nominations?

This kind of poll makes me realize how many anti-dem people are on this site.
