ROUND 5--Who do you NOT want to see get the Democratic nomination?

[rateyes]

Poll question: ROUND 5--Who do you NOT want to see get the Democratic nomination?

I cannot edit a poll to let you know that another round is coming. I still see that Round 2 is getting hits because of the recs to the greatest page. If you don't mind, let's get the rest to the greatest page for the most exposure. And, please keep kicked. Having said that:

UPDATE: Round 1--Hillary was eliminated by a strong majority of 61%---Round 2--Dennis was eliminated with a plurality of 33%----Round 3--Mike was eliminated with a majority of 54%

ROUND 4 Results-- Barack Obama is eliminated with a plurality of 44%

FOUR CANDIDATES REMAIN: Again, the reminder: I'm going to post a poll asking you to vote for the person you LEAST desire to get the Democratic nomination for POTUS. The winner (who will actually be the loser) will be dropped from the list, and I'll post another poll with that candidate's name removed. I will repeat the process, until, by elimination, one candidate is "chosen" by those participating.

Remember vote for the one you DON'T want to get the nomination. I'd appreciate if you will keep this kicked. I'm doing an experiment. The candidates are presented in alphabetical order.

Of those remaining who do you want to eliminate from getting the nomination? Again, in alphabetical order:

6. Interesting

Dodd received several votes in the early rounds, but is not getting many votes now. That is interesting.

[rateyes]

9. So far, my hypothesis is holding up.

After these polls, I'm posting one more to see if people agree with my interpretation.

10. rateyes - just wanted to say that this is a rather thought-provoking exercise

I think it will alter the assumptions that a lot of people make about DU, including my own.

[rateyes]

16. I'm finding the answers interesting...

and, thanks. :hi:

[damntexdem]

11. At this point, who cares?

Given who has been eliminated, I don't.

[againes654]

14. Then feel free to leave

Why do those that don't agree with this poll just not look at it. Why do they feel the need to belittle? Does it make you feel better to put others down?

[rateyes]

15. Thanks for your opinion...that actually helps me in

putting together my hypothesis.

[Justyce]

12. It looks like John Edwards will make the top 3 "least offensive".

:)

[robinlynne]

25. Yeah, we should call this the SURVIVOR polls. nt

[cascadiance]

19. How soon is Biden done yet?

[rateyes]

22. I'm going to give it a few more minutes...

I want to leave each round up for at least half an hour...unless the vote is close, in which case I'll leave it up longer.

[robinlynne]

20. Now it's getting harder. I would take any of these guys as pres.

[robinlynne]

21. rattie, I think i know what your hypothesis is.....

[rateyes]

24. Well, I'll reveal it at the end...

and, I bet you do, too. :hi:

[rateyes]
