Do you like more than one or two candidates?
I do, I like Gephardt, Edwards, and Kerry. I think all of these fine men would make great presidents.

Sometimes I think people at DU latch on only to one candidate, and they disregard the rest? Am I the only one who likes more than one candidate?

You are superior. The rest of us are narrow minded ideologues. Thanks for putting up with us.

2. I like them all
and I don't hate Lieberman (I just don't like him as much).

My favorites: Dean, Kucinich, Kerry, and Gephardt.

My next: Mosby-Braun, Graham, Edwards, Clark

That leaves Sharpton, Lieberman both of whom I would vote for.

3. Oddly enough, despite my criticisms of Kerry,
he's my second choice. He was my first choice until I caught just the slightest case of Dean fever around MoveOn's primary. I feel basically positive about Clark and think he is electable. I like Kucinich but can't get past thinking he's unelectable. I like Al Sharpton but think he's unelectable. I don't know Mosely-Braun, Edwards or Graham all that well. Gephardt's okay. Lieberman is...okay. They're all better than Bush.

6. I like Kucinich too
but I agree about the worry of his chances, still I encourage him and his supporters to be enthusiatic.

4. I do like more than one candidate
Your attitude and your call for an internal flame war between the candidates is still lousy politics. Look at how disciplined the rethugs can be, even in disagreement. They save their real venom for us, as we ought to do with them.

7. I don't really "like" any of them..
I think they are all a pen of weasels who will need to be constantly monitered and badgered to do the right thing.

8. I agree
They are all scumbag politicians who will not represent the working class. I might vote for one or two of them.

12. I like three
Dean, Kerry, and Clark... I just like Dean the best :-) I like Kucinich, Gephardt and Mosely-Braun too, just think they're electoral disasters. The others are ok, just not my faves...

14. Still undecided
And while I'm not enthusiastic about the field (I'm still delusional and want Gore) they certainly aren't the worst bunch we could come up with.

1. I like Dean and his stand on the issues,
2. I think Kerry is probably the most electable
3. Clark brings quite a bit to the table - although he's perhaps better VP material, it's hard to tell without having him in the race and hearing him campaign.

I wouldn't vote for Lieberman or Gephardt - too much on their knees to the criminal * administration. Faux Democrats.

Just my opinion thus far. The debates should be helpful in narrowing in on a candidate.

15. All, except Lieberman, and.... Dean
I don't like Dean. I don't trust him at all. There's alot more problems lurking in Vermont than most people seem willing to admit. But the rest of them are all great candidates with good ideas. My favorites are Edwards and Kerry. I love Kucinich, I just know people don't want his vision of America. Thinking some things through, Kerry's very liberal record could be difficult to overcome, Edwards might actually be the better candidate to beat Bush. We'll see how it all plays out.

17. I really like Edwards and Clark.
The rest of them I could take or leave, and a couple of them I dislike sometimes (which doesn't mean they wouldn't be Churchill compared to Bush--I'll vote for whomever the nominee is and like it).

19. I don't dislike any of them.
I like most of them. I usually don't make up my mind until the last minute. I could vote for any of them against Bush, even Lieberman.

20. Kucinich and Dean.
I'm supporting Kucinich, but I like Dean a lot, and I'll be happy to support him when he wins the primaries.

;-)

(I also like Al Sharpton.)

21. I have three
I am strongly leaning towards Dean, have a strong interest in Clark if he jumps in, and still hanging in there with Kerry. I think Dean and Kerry have different qualities that I like about each one. It is not easy to cancel all of them out.
