Poll question: Okay, the shit has come to this, in a three way race, with Obama

running as a third party candidate, who wins?

[babylonsister]

1. Who's on third? nt

[Drunken Irishman]

2. McCain wins, easily.

I would never forgive Obama if he ran as a 3rd party candidate, however.

20. McCain wins easily

Third partys have no support groups and no one will donate money to a lame duck nominee who will HAVE NO POWER in Washington DC. No one will give money when it has no chance of gaining anything back for the donor. No one. No power means no legislation in their favor. No money for advertising. No money to stump for signatures to get on the ballot. No money for letting the people know what is happening, why to not vote Dem or Rep.

Another thing the maker of this poll does not acknowledge is that in many states it is too late for a third party to even get on the ballot.

3. There is only one response to your BS poll....

:eyes:

Do the math. Hillary can't get the nomination.

4. But Obama can't run as a person who "loves his country." The

media and the party seem to be intent on doing things "their" way.

[azmouse]

5. I sure hope you meant that as sarcasm

because anything else is disgusting beyond words.

[rzemanfl]

11. It wasn't me who included Obama out of the candidates who

"love their country." Jesus, but people are sensitive around here. It seems to me that the powers that be will not let someone who might change things have a chance to play the game. Is there a "not sarcasm" emoticon?

6. Wow, this goes to show that GDP is now an echo chamber of Obamacan nuts.

Do you really think that someone who can't even cinch the nomination in a landslide will WIN as a THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE? Let's do the math. The close to 50% of Democrats who are backing Clinton at this point vote Democrat. 50% of Obamacans stay loyal to the Democratic party and the others vote 3rd party Obama. The progressives who already abandoned the party still vote Green because the Green party wants nothing to do with either Clinton or Obama. And all that adds up to.... a GINORMOUS WIN for John McCain.

Sure a few African-American conservatives (and liberals) will abandon the party to vote Obama. Sure a few Republican women and possibly even some Green women will vote Clinton. But that still spells a GINORMOUS WIN for McCain.

Support Obama. Hate Clinton. Whatever... but don't be delusional. If you really think Clinton and McCain are equal and Obama is some kind of progressive saint, then by all means, do what you gotta do--but don't say you didn't realize that McCain would win.

I can't stomach Obama, but if he wins the nomination, I'll pull the lever for the pompous ass.

7. Don't get your panties in a twist over something that will never happen.

It's a BS poll and shouldn't even be posted here.
No one should have even voted in it.

[robbedvoter]

17. No one is thinking of it happening. Conceiving it speaks volumes about who

the BO supporters really are.

[robbedvoter]

8. I name thee BOU! It's official. The "D" is obsolete.

[Dinger]

18. Yup

Not a doubt in my mind.

[RichardRay]

9. In the words of the illustrious Sniffa...

LET IT SINK

[robbedvoter]

16. But why? It's clearly meant to show us the postpartisan society BO will rule

(in the same country where the post-racial society lives)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. I see that 45 of the stupidest people on Earth have already voted in this poll

[robbedvoter]

15. They only TS you if you don't pledge to vote BO. Party is irrelevant now

as Bo volunteers gibe GOP-ers 2 forms now - one to switch party now, one to switch back later.

12. not happening.

[Texas Hill Country]

13. you are seriously asking for a poll on the Obama Underground?

[rodeodance]

14. Now it is a proven fact--They believe in their own myths!

[IsItJustMe]

19. The only one I see running on a third party is Hillary

[robbedvoter]

21. Your fellow BO supporter (OP) thinks differently...Her supporters disagree with you

but, het, that's the BOU rule - anything negative - blame it on Hillary.
