Poll question: Are You Undecided, and Reading GDP for Facts to Help You Make up Your Mind?
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 01:55 PM by CorpGovActivist
Let me just lay a little guilt trip on the partisans, first: dig deep, find a shred of dignity, and refrain from voting.

If you're for Clinton, leave it alone. If you're for Obama, leave it alone.

I'm now for Obama. I won't cast my vote in this poll. On that, you have my word.

There is only one choice: yes. That's by design. It allows us all to see how many answer yes, without exposing those who do to enless pro-Clinton, anti-Clinton, pro-Obama, anti-Obama electioneering.

Again, this is by design. See the question.

- Dave

2. no
I'm undecided, and all reading GD: P has done is made me realize just how many unhinged partisan posters on this board now. I was here in 2004; this is much, much worse.

26. Best way I can think of to win a day's reprieve from the axeman...
... is to make that bastard laugh so hard, he can't swing the axe until tomorrow.

23. IMHO, many of them, if not most, and not actually Dems, if you get my drift.
I happen to think there are a great many deliberate disruptors whose sole purpose is to stir up bad feelings and suppress hope for the future.

My ignore list is long, and I note with considerable irony that truly valuable threads have virtually NO posts by the ignored.

4. At the moment I am leaning K on the 5th.
It isn't clear if that is (D) (and K endorsed OC neutrally).

36. Thanks, again!
Sadly the general response has been underwhelming and half the field quit before I could compose more Shock Doctrine frames that didn't lean in their favor. Yes, I suffer for my art...

5. not so much undecided as disaffected
I honestly am having trouble caring what happens. Any hope of an authentically good and decent person as POTUS was lost this week. Any notion that we the people control our own destiny is dashed. After fighting the VRWC for ten years now, I'm ready to admit it was a foolish waste of time. Sound and fury signifying nothing. The powers that be will have their way, again.

7. Umm...no. This is the last place I'd come for facts.
I've decided on Gravel. The other two are acting like unruly children.

8. No. I'm studying abnormal psychology. Esp. mob behavior & internet 'wilding'.
DU is a treasure trove of data.

11. DU is like any other Inter-tube message board "community"
There's a lot of research on the topic, and it's pretty interesting. Google up some stuff and be afraid...

29. No, I'm not using GD-P as my guide to Clinton or Obama.
I've read their websites, I watched their debate last night, and I haven't yet made up my mind (Edwards was my guy).

If I used GD-P as my guide to the candidates, I'd have to conclude that each of them are the spawn of the devil, based on a lot of the threads here.

33. So far, it appears as if we're yammering...
... at 7 poor voters.

Guys and gals, honestly, I would so buy you 7 as many pitchers as you need right now.
