What would you do if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination?

[Colobo]

Poll question: What would you do if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination?

Let's see how DUers would react to it.

[Nitrogenica]

1. I'd proudly vote for Barack Obama.

[IndianaJones]

2. leave that part of the ballot blank...vote Democrat below it. nt.

[Alexander]

48. President McCain will thank you.

[MadBadger]

3. Get Drunk....than campaign for him.

The Celebration is first though

[EFerrari]

Good plan!

:)

[NC_Nurse]

4. I chose number one, but I WILL also donate...

I'm already doing all of the above. :-)

[Zachstar]

5. We also need to think about the congressional seats.

Obama is pretty safe against McCain. Unless McCain starts getting up there in the polls then Obama will have little trouble for some months.

After he becomes the presumptive nomineee we need to focus on the Congressional Seats! There is alot of seats up for grabs and every contest will be active! We need to work hard!!

[democrattotheend]

34. Obama is not "safe" against McCain!

Getting him elected is going to be an uphill battle, and we should not kid ourselves about that. I believe in him and I think he can win but it's not going to be easy, and we're going to need all hands on deck to help him get there.

[Yael]

6. Dance nekkid in the street, drink up and sleep in the next morning

Oh, and make calls and donate.

[Kittycat]

8. Oh - and all this, too...

:rofl:

[JohnnyLib2]

20. Where? We Clinton supporters would

need SOMETHING for distraction in this case! :evilgrin: :hi:

[Yael]

21. Location TBD

:hi:

[Kittycat]

7. Well...

I just signed up last week for the Neighoborhood Leader program, and tonight I spoke with one of the leaders for the Kendall County (IL14) Democratic Woman's club, and expressed my interest to be a committeeman for my precinct. In both cases, I would be going door to door for our Dem candidates. I told my DH tonight that it would be incredible to pull in to our neighborhood and see the streets lined with Obama signs... That's my goal :D

[billbuckhead]

10. Forgot voting for the Green candidate

[Kittycat]

14. ?@!? Who, you? You're voting for the green candidate?

I'll be voting Obama.

[billbuckhead]

17. Voting Green should be one of the choices

BTW, this would be a far better nation if we had a parlimentary system.

[Yael]

18. So when he wins will you leave

or just hang out in the lounge for the next 8 years?

[billbuckhead]

24. I just said it should be a choice in the poll

[Yael]

26. My question was of a more general nature

Seeing as how you can't even type out his name.

[democrattotheend]

35. Geez, chill out

billbuckhead just recommended adding it to the poll. He/she did not say he/she would vote Green. Besides, he/she lives in Atlanta, so does it really matter? If people who don't live in competitive states want to cast protest votes that's fine with me. It's the people who live in swing states and say they won't vote for whichever Democrat gets the nomination that bug me.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. No way.

The Lounge has standards. :P

[Kittycat]

19. Yes, but we don't... And I have no interest in

voting for a Nader/Spoiler.

[libnnc]

9. I'd volunteer

after indulging my inner child in an unhealthy way here on DU

volunteer for the campaign, fork over some jack, and vote

[JVS]

23. My inner child will be you inner child's playmate for that day.

[Colobo]

11. I'll donate, campaign, and vote for the man!

[Colobo]

12. I'll donate, campaign, and vote for the man!

[Yael]

13. You can say that again!

Oh wait...

[Condem]

22. Katz

This post needs a kick. A better poll: When will it end?

[Fovea]

15. Yard Sign

and my traditional hectoring the neighbors.

[Condem]

16. The first thing I'd do Katz..

Is open a 15 year old bottle of scotch that I've been saving for the occasion! Then toast ALL you motherfukers at DU.

[padia]

25. I voted nt

[4nic8em]

27. I would definitely

vote McCain....no,wait...hold on...I'm full of shit. What a dumbass poll... I for one, will donate, support, campaign for whoever gets the nom from our party. It is incomprehensible to me that after the 7 1/2 year shitstorm our country's been hammered with, how a real Democrat would not support the nominee, favorite or not. If they don't support our nominee, then they're not a true democrat at all. Oh...by the way, they're also the one who's really full of shit.

[polmaven]

28. I will work my heart out for Senator Clinton,

and IF Senator Obama is the party's nominee, I will work (with whatever is left) to elect him. I am a Democrat. I was born a Democrat and I will die a Democrat.

[Colobo]

29. Good to know!

[democrattotheend]

37. Good for you

We need more people like you on both sides.

[njdemocrat106]

30. I'd support him to the best of my abilities

I would do the same if Clinton wins the nomination, too.

[EFerrari]

31. If this party has the sense to nominate him, I guess

I can make a few phone calls for him. :)

[kerry-is-my-prez]

32. If they don't count Florida (my state) and he didn't insist upon us voting I will NOT vote for him.

I will vote independent or socialist. I refuse to vote for someone who aided with me being disenfranchised. I have other longtime Dem friends from Florida who will also do the same if our vote isn't counted.

If he fights for us Floridians - I will vote for him and maybe contribute.

[Beacool]

42. FL will probably go Republican in November. n/t

[Bright Eyes]

33. The 2(so far) who said they'd vote Republican

Need to get the fuck out of DU. And the 5 who said they'd stay home better be comfortable with President McCain.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

36. Could have titled poll: How many trolls do we have here?

So far: 12

[saltpoint]

39. Voted for no. 1 in your poll.

Hi, Katzenkavalier.

McCain has had it easy so far. I think he will face Obama in the general and by mid-October, I think McCain will be flailing on the floor, slobbering, and barking incoherent jibberish -- even more than he's doing now, I mean.

We need blue results up and down the ballot, coast to coast. I think Senator Obama bats 4th in that line-up, in the clean-up position, with the high slugging percentage, and McCain, in trying to pitch to him, can't even see home plate.

[NDambi]

40. My family is planning a huge "Barack the Vote" Party with fireworks and a huge BBQ

[Donald Ian Rankin]

41. "Can't vote for Obama" is me; there ought to be a "won't vote for Obama" option for Americans.

I won't be voting Democratic this autumn, for reasons that should be obvious from my profile. I suspect that what the OP meant to ask about, though, was people who perfectly well could vote for Obama, but will choose not to.

[democrattotheend]

43. Kicking

Because I have a weird obsession with these polls.

[rox63]

44. Ok, who are the 5 asshats who would vote for McCain?

Not to mention the 8 who would stay home... :grr:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

45. I can't remember what I did after the Iowa caucus.

Probably had a beer then went to bed.

[AX10]

46. Write-in HRC.

[goldcanyonaz]

47. ....

:thumbsup:

[Alexander]

49. President McCain will thank you both.

As for me, I plan to vote for the Democratic nominee, because I'm a Democrat and this election is too important to waste on sour grapes.

[democrattotheend]

51. Relax. Check where a poster lives before you attack them.

The one who said he/she will write in HRC lives in Connecticut. I live in Virginia and I sure as hell plan to vote for whoever gets the nomination, but if I lived in Massachusetts and HRC was the nominee, I'd consider writing in Obama. I'd consider voting third party too if there were any third party candidates I liked, but none appeal to me so far. I have no problem with people who live in solid red or blue states casting protest votes. It's the people who do it in swing states that bug the hell out of me.

[Alexander]

53. I don't care where they live, real Democrats should vote for the Democratic nominee...

Whether it's Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or Lee L. Mercer Jr.

I know I plan to.

[LSK]

50. well, I live in IL in a purple district with a GOP Congressman

So I would probably work to get another Dem in Congress. I think Obama has IL locked up.

[democrattotheend]

52. I think that's a safe bet

Although I'm sure they could use your help in Wisconsin or Missouri (depending on where in IL you live). But down-ballot races are important too, so good for you. Which district?

[LSK]

54. IL 6th, Peter Roskam

[varelse]

55. I'm living in "Obama country" here

You can't walk a block here in this city without running into an Obama yard sign, bumper sticker, or supporter. Campaigning for him here is kind of redundant, so even if I weren't the agoraphobic people-shunning wallflower that I am, I probably wouldn't get much accomplished doing it here.

I'll vote for him and donate to his campaign and to any "Howard Dean-friendly" branch of the Democratic party I can locate (with help from DU'ers of course). That's about it. Not much different than what I'll do if Clinton is nominated, except in her case I might try talking the inevitable backlash crop of Ron Paul* or "write-in candidate" voters into voting against McCain by voting for her. If that counts as campaigning for her then that'd be the only difference really.

*uh, yeah... for some reason Ron Paul is also quite popular here :eyes:
