The FYM Democratic Primary

U2democrat · 10-31-2007, 05:28 PM

Try and take this poll seriously, I'd like to get an accurate read on how people are leaning here. Please stick to your party, and if you are Independent only vote once. Thanks

In 2 months I'll post another poll as it gets closer to the primaries and candidates will probably have dropped out.

If you write in, say who.

Vincent Vega · 10-31-2007, 05:44 PM

Theoretically, I probably would vote for Kucinich as he comes closest to my political views.
But I don't want to warp the result.

Moonlit_Angel · 10-31-2007, 06:27 PM

I picked a Democratic candidate, even though I'm still debating right now whether I want to go Democratic or go independent.

I've eliminated people but have not chosen yet. Honestly at this point, I'm between 4 or 5 people. I'll probably vote for the Democrat nominee in the general, but haven't been enthralled by anybody to change my status so I can vote in the primary.

I'm not registered to vote in the United States due to age, and thus am not affiliated with any political party, but it's cool if I still vote on this, right?

U2democrat · 10-31-2007, 07:06 PM

Yeah go ahead Philly, you too Vincent. You don't have to be a registered voter but beyond that i want this to be accurate.

You won't allow a nice young conservative to vote?

BVS · 10-31-2007, 07:25 PM

Take a look again...

Currently 2 threads down.

Conservatives, you have to show them everything.

Ok, ok, sorry. Cut me some slack, I just got back from class.

BVS · 10-31-2007, 07:30 PM

It was a friendly wink don't take it personally.

2861U2 · 10-31-2007, 07:37 PM

Allow me to at least insert my two cents here. If I had to vote for one, I would pick Biden. He seems to be the only Democrat who opposes a sudden mass troop withdrawal. I suppose among all the Democrats, I agree with him the most, at least regarding abortion, illegal immigration, etc. As a matter of fact, if in some bizarre way it ended up being Ron Paul vs. Biden, he would get my vote.

phillyfan26 · 10-31-2007, 07:40 PM

My current rankings:

1. Kucinich
2. Obama
3. Clinton
4. Gravel
5. Biden

randhail · 10-31-2007, 07:52 PM

It's probably not a good sign when I don't feel like casting my vote for any of them. Given the field, I'd probably vote for Obama because he represents the greatest chance of not having the business as usual politics. Although, if Al Gore decided to run, then I'd be hitching myself to his wagon.

Not really a conservative then?

unico · 10-31-2007, 08:01 PM

i think deep down inside he is a democrat. he was immediately drawn to this thread after all

phillyfan26 · 10-31-2007, 08:03 PM

My favorite statistic here is the lack of support for John Edwards. It's amazing that he's supposed to be third in the race.

anitram · 10-31-2007, 08:43 PM

Don't really like any of them. Kucinich has some good ideas but he comes across as unhinged to me and a little divorced from reality. Although I do like that he's just about the only politician on the continent willing to actually say that NAFTA should be abolished.

President Hillary will win either way.

U2isthebest · 10-31-2007, 08:44 PM

I am on board with Obama at this point. He's impressed me in every area.
