Poll question: DUers: For comparison to last fall-who were you supporting then?

Regardless of who you support today. The list is in alphabetical order.

[hfojvt]

1. there's no option for ABC.

I supported the alphabet :patriot:

[dkf]

12. me 2

[gateley]

2. Biden! nt

[IndianaGreen]

27. Same here!

Biden was a straight shooter.

[gateley]

39. He still is -

I've been watching him on the SFRC Iraq hearings. "This may sound cynical, but...." :7

[WheelWalker]

31. Biden! nt

[JayFredMuggs]

3. Sort of amazing, no one voting so far was supporting Hillary?

Oh, they must all be watching Nascar now, or final four.

[bobthedrummer]

10. I ran a whole bunch of all candidate polls last fall, a couple of them recorded more than 1,000 DU

votes, every one of them had Kucinich and Edwards ahead of all others, Clinton did very poorly in all of them and Obama support consistently rose in all of them.

[JayFredMuggs]

44. Not surprising.

The American people, by and large, learn to appreciate quality.

[Marrah_G]

4. Biden n/t

[Raine]

5. Edwards nt

[WillyT]

6. Edwards

:kick:

[TheDoorbellRang]

7. Gore

Shoulda had Gore on here. Huge support for him here, even tho he never declared his candidacy.

[tekisui]

8. Kucinich.

I still support him as a courageous leader.

[Faygo Kid]

9. Still held out hope for Gore then. Moved to Edwards later.

Liked them both, but I am very happy with my candidate now.

[ElkHunter]

11. John Edwards

And I still think that he was the more progressive choice of the viable Democratic candidates.

That said, I now have no trouble whatsoever giving enthusiastic support to Barack Obama.

[sniffa]

13. Kucinich

Although Dodd was a close second. He eventually moved up to tie DK as my candidate, and I was approaching my vote/support in that manner.

I'm now a full-fledged, Hope Flavored Kool-Aid drinker.

[Kahuna]

14. Gore. nt

[Yael]

15. John Edwards

[jkshaw]

16. I keep wondering where the results of these polls go?

I dutifully vote when I think I know how I feel about whatever it is that's being polled, but then what? Results go where? Can we ever see the sense of the group on this or that subject?

[bobthedrummer]

17. For comparison, here is the 10-26-2007 all candidate poll I started

there were 1,076 votes recorded then

[LWolf]

25. That was a telling poll.

Only 20% of DU supported either HRC or Obama, divided evenly at 10%.

A large majority at DU were behind DK and Edwards. I wonder how many DUers actually got to vote for either. I didn't; when DK dropped out, I would have voted for Edwards, but he wasn't there by super Tuesday, and I still haven't cast my primary vote.

My 1st choice was DK; my 2nd choice was an even tie between Edwards, Biden, and Richardson. I never had to try to choose between them. :(

After the top 4, I had Dodd and Gravel.

Clinton and Obama were never on my "table."

With Clinton and Obama not being the first choice of most of DU, I wonder what the real source of the bloody civil war is.

There certainly was not a lot of passion on DU for either when there were other choices.

[anonymous171]

30. Interesting. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

18. I was flipping back and forth between Biden and Edwards.

I got shut out.

[FlyingSquirrel]

19. Kooch. Then Edwards. Biden third.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. John Edwards.

I had also given Dodd, Richardson and Biden a very close look.

[Iggo]

21. Kucinich.

After that, the eventual nominee.

[izzybeans]

22. I had Kucinich, Edwards, and Obama as my top tier. Richardson, Dodd, and Biden next,

Then Clinton.

She was at the bottom by default. I'm oligarchy averse. What can I say?

I'll still vote for her in the general though.

[HooptieWagon]

23. Kucinich...

... whose views I most closely agreed with. However, I realize that I'm a good bit farther left than most, and compromises must be made to resolve issues facing the country. Dig your heels in in selfrighteous ideology and dogma and nothing will get resolved. So, while I agree with Kucinich, I don't think he could have been effective. While some of Obama's platform I disagree with, I believe he is probably the most pragmatic and practical of the candidates, and therefore most able to actually accomplish at least some of what I think is necessary. Hillary has already blown off the left and tied herself to corporate interests, so I have no confidence that she'd even try.

[Whisp]

24. Kucinich

I hope Obama offers him a juicy spot on his team.

[anonymous171]

26. I supported Obama before it was cool.

Edwards was my second choice, for electability reasons. I loved his platform though. I'm glad he stayed in as long as he did, he kept the other candidates on the issues.

[Iggo]

32. (It's still not cool.)

B-)

[dansolo]

28. What about none of the above?

Last fall, I didn't like any of them.

[AZBlue]

29. I was undecided.

[crankychatter]

33. none of the above

too many problems with all of them... I want a winner

between the two remaining Obama

[Lisa0825]

34. Gore (nt)

[Adelante]

35. Obama, starting in September

Officially. But I was leaning there pretty far since June 2007.

[stuntcat]

36. Dennis

:headbang:

[PylesMalfunction]

37. Former Edwards supporter

Now I'm an Obama supporter who will vote for whoever gets the nomination.

[bobbert]

38. I'm at the University of Chicago

So most of us were on the Obama boat years ago

[redqueen]

40. Kucinich.

[Eurobabe]

41. Bidey-man n/t

[democrattotheend]

42. Obama, but Edwards was a close second

And if you go back to last spring, I was supporting Hillary, but only because I had to because I worked for an organization that supported her. I am not sure how I would have voted, but I had to publicly support her.

[Fyddlestyx]

43. I was undecided

[NewHampshireDem]

45. K, E, D

Kucinich
Edwards
Dodd

Had my fingers crossed for Gore or, before HRC got in, that Clark would run again. Maybe once before I die I'll back a winner from start to finish. :sigh:

[Zachstar]

46. Ron Paul

[GalleryGod]

47. The Last week in August: Sent my first (of many) donations to OBAMA

and Big Thanks to Nancy Hogan!:loveya: :smoke: :loveya:

[Uncle Joe]

48. Al Gore. n/t
