Poll question: Do you care how your candidate wins?
If the only way your candidate could win was by benefiting from a controversy or scandal on the other side, would you be satisfied with that?

1. Your results will be meaningless here.
You state one question in the thread and then reverse the info in the poll choices. Most people will not read carefully.

4. If a candidate cannot win the GE he/she needs to give up the nomination
IMO the swiftboaters will have a field day with Obama and every RW who can crawl will be at the polls to keep him out.

6. Problem is, there is nothing but conjecture on both sides about who could win the GE
But that's not what the poll is asking anyway. Assume either candidate could win the GE and answer the question as posed.

5. The journey is more important than the destination.....
It's all about perspective...in the general scheme of things, even the general is not worth winning if we do it in the wrong way.

11. It's a question of principles used in the persuit of power.
Speaks to larger character issues imo, so when I see a candidate (mine or any other) engage in behavior that I find offensive, yes, it bugs me.
