Are you generally happy with Clinton or Obama as our possible candidates for President?

[Colobo]

Poll question: Are you generally happy with Clinton or Obama as our possible candidates for President?

I just want to know how committed DUers are to the current choices.

[NMMatt]

1. Where is the I'm thrilled with one, and the other is the worst possible candidate :P -nt

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Considering the tensions between supporters of different candidates...

I'd say you probably need an option for 'I like one, but not the other'

[Colobo]

6. We need threads that promote unity.

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. But a poll with no option to reflect the honest opinion of a percentage of likely respondents...

is meaningless.

[Colobo]

10. It has been changed to include those choices.

[hijinx87]

3. I am very pleased

either candidate will represent us well.

[Olney Blue]

4. Thrilled with both

[k8conant]

5. You clearly left out my choice

I'm OK with one choice. I'll vote for the other if she gets the nomination.

[Political Heretic]

7. I'm pleased with one.

[Extend a Hand]

9. They are both great candidates

but neither is as good as Dennis.

[mac2]

11. Neither are antiwar really

12. Hi, Katzenkavalier. I'm oiling up the political time machine tonight to 1992,

and Mario Cuomo has just filed for the New Hampshire primary.

He goes on to win 2 terms, defeating Tsongas and Bill Clinton etc. and significant and affordable health care reform is enacted. Vice President Bill Moyers did a great job of moving the legislation through both chambers and still had time to confer with President Cuomo's Council of Ecumenical Spirituality, the grand effect of which was to quell the far-right fundies and redefine "faith" as a liberal initiative. Had Cuomo-Moyers not instigated this program, we might wind up with fundamentalists driving wedge issues inbetween groups of voters, thus electing hyper-conservative Republicans.

Now. Back to right this minute. I liked Edwards' domestic proposals but now support Obama. I'm not a Hillary hater but I'm weary of her husband's political chums. I'll support the ticket, but prefer Senator Obama.

One resonant point: in our original 8 announced candidates, there was an Afro American, a woman, and a Hispanic. I didn't see a whole hell of a lot of diversity over on the Republican side of the ledger.

[Bobbieo]

13. I'm not happy with either one so what the hell am I supposed to do

about it other than vote for the nominee.

[saltpoint]

14. Our nominee, whichever of the remaining two it turns out to be, is NOT

going to be John McCain.

That's pretty powerful motivation right there!

[calimary]

15. Aw man... what a delicious post!

I remember being utterly electified by Mario Cuomo's keynote speech, back when he was our "heir apparent" and "designated fair-haired boy." We were sure he was gonna go all the way. What a fantasy. Sigh...

When I think of what could have been, and what might have been, it's just frickin' painful! Wouldn't that have been a head-knocker ticket, though? Cuomo/Moyers. Man...

[saltpoint]

16. Hi, calimary. Mario and Bill would have got it done, by god! I'm excited

about that ticket even if it is just a fantasy.

And can you imagine the State of the Union addresses that would come out of a White House like that! Zowie.

[Kitty Herder]

17. Like one, not the other, but disappointed......

I like Obama, mainly because of the enthusiasm he engenders. The party needs that badly. I can't stand Hillary. I'm disappointed overall. We could have done better. Like Kucinich. Or Edwards.
