Poll question: Who do you think is running the most honest campaign?
As long as it's about honesty, try to answer honestly, even if the candidate you support is not running the most honest campaign.

1. Kucinich
He's consistent on his issues, and has shown he walks his talk by introducing legislation to implement his ideas now.

3. I say NONE because all the campaigns are being run by pros.
EVERY candidate has hired "handlers". THEY are the ones really running all the campaigns. I suspect that was one of the messages behind the comment Hillary made when she said "I found MY voice."

5. Kucinich and Edwards
Despite the claims of inconsistency, the more I learn about Edwards the more convinced I become that HE MEANS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS.

6. Edwards doesn't have health mandates
until after everything else in his plan has been implemented. His attacks on Obama's health plan weren't honest. He isn't running an honest campaign either.

7. How about having a category for "Other"?
That way those of us who say Kucinich can have a vote too...

And of those listed, I say Edwards is running the most honest campaign...

But DK has him beat...

9. Edwards the most honest. The Clintons the most dishonest.
As far as campaigns go.

10. Edwards
I support Obama and my second choice is Clinton, but clearly Edwards is running the most honest campaign of the three. That's probably why he's so far down in the polls.

18. Kucinich...and that's my HONEST answer.
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 04:38 PM by Desertrose
Why isn't he included in the poll?

As far as the ones included....it's probably a toss up.
