Saturday Night Candidate Poll

[caledesi]

Which candidate (not your fav, be objective) has the power to bring in more Democrats into the Demoractic Party?

[Vikingking66]

1. someone explain the Lieberman vote

Are we talking about Reagan Democrats or what?

[diplomats]

4. Make that

Lieberman votes (there are now two).

[im4edwards]

5. that would appear to be obvious to me

hes rather centrist, he can deliver far more swing votes than Kucinich can bring Green

[LastDemInIdaho]

10. Maybe pro-Israel against the tide of Israel haters?

Hard telling not knowing.

[Darranar]

14. They're all blindly pro-Israel...

with the possible exception of Dean and the almost-certain exception of Dennis Kucinich. That's American politics for you.

[caledesi]

12. Lierberman only got 2 votes..no Reagan Dems here....

[ixion]

2. kick

:kick: just 'cause....:-)

[bluestateguy]

3. vote

[MoonRiver]

6. I'm thrilled that Clark is winning. But I'm also amazed considering

the level of paranoid insanity against Clark I read on this board. For instance, I just read a thinly veiled comparison between Clark and bin Laden. The virulent anti-Clark people have gone nuts, IMHO. They are now so far off the deep end, I fear they may be lost and adrift in a perpetual sea of hate.

And I really don't get why. Clark's my man, but I like Dean, Kerry, Sharpton, and the rest (aside from LIEberman) very much. I just think Clark has a better chance of winning; plus I agree with virtually all of the policies he's presented.

[Loyal]

7. I'm still undecided,

but I voted Bob Graham so he would have at least 1 vote. He deserves that. I feel that he can bring in NASCAR dads and a lot of conservative white Democrats in the south who feel left out.

[HawkerHurricane]

8. Clark will shift the military vote

And the VFW voters too. He beats Bushco hands down with the guys I'm stationed with.

[jenk]

9. we need a poll that narrows it down

How about one with just Clark, Dean, Kerry, Edwards, Gephardt, Lieberman.

I'm just curious where the Braun, Sharpton, Kucinich, Graham crowd goes.

[caledesi]

11. I was trying to fair and include all candidates at this point.

Didn't want to create a flame-fest from supporters of candidates they are fervent about, but the odds of them being front-runners are very much against them. However, to be fair these 10 are are candidates at this point, so we have to go with that.

[juajen]

24. I'm a Kucinich supporter, but

I voted for Clark. The question was "how many dems do you think the candidates can bring in". I love Dennis and his views are mine, but pragmatically speaking, he is not going to appeal to the middle, unfortunately. I'm hoping that his supporters can keep his ideals in front of the party and influence the platform; and, I have high hopes for his future.

[LWolf]

27. Not to Clark, Dean, Kerry, Edwards, Gephardt, or Lieberman.

Some of us wouldn't vote in that poll, because we aren't casting a vote for your choices in the primary.

[Rowdyboy]

13. kick just for the hell of it

:kick:

[Darranar]

15. Kucinich...

though he might alienate a few of the swing voters, a large number of Greens will return to the Dems if he gets nominated.

The only trouble is, of course, getting him nominated, which will certainly be very difficult...

[Darranar]

16. Dupe

[Darranar]

17. Kick!

This is an interesting one.

[jenk]

18. Gephardt never gets any votes in these

I feel bad for him.

[Renew Deal]

19. Democrats or People.

Do you mean more dems or people? Because dems are already in the party.

[WaterDog]

20. The doctor

has already brought in many new Democrats.

[bluestateguy]

21. Clark is ruining Kerry

I don't buy all this about Clark hurting Dean. Kerry and Edwards are the ones hurt by the Clark candidacy.

[CMT]

22. I agree with you

I think he hurts Kerry and Edwards. Kerry with the military vote he has been targeting and Edwards in the south.

[juajen]

25. According to recent NH poll, Clark did take away votes from Dean.

N/T

[leftofthedial]

23. Kucinich could eliminate the Greens-Dem split

He's the truly liberal candidate whom the fundy leftists can't really oppose.

[peabody71]

26. common I know there are more Dean supporters in here.
