Edwards, Obama or Clinton?

[Tiggeroshii]

All will announce their candidacies I'm sure and all are top choices to receive the nomination(unless Gore runs -sorry to the Clark fans but I don't think he has a chance... yet).

[Greyhound]

1. If those are the choices, I go with Edwards. n/t

:toast:

[IndianaGreen]

51. Considering the choices, I went for Obama

I am in the Anybody But Clinton (ABC) camp.

[bigluckyfeet]

53. None of the Above

[BOSSHOG]

2. OTHER

General Clark. Has a chance.

[calzone]

21. I'll skip the meal tonite, thanks

none of the 4 choices look appetizing...now where did i put that cup-o-noodles?

[Posteritatis]

45. Ramen for president?

I can get behind that.

A styrofoam cup filled with foodlike polymers would certainly be a tangible improvement over the last few years..

[PresidentObama]

3. Edwards.

Of those candidates. Edwards if Kerry doesn't run. If Kerry runs, probably Kerry.

[zann725]

19. Second that! Edwards WAS impressive today. Though curiously MSM doesn't consider Edwards a 'loser'

from '04...like they do with Kerry. Yet it should be remembered, Edwards was HALF the '04 Ticket... equally responsible for that loss. But somehow MSM isn't going to "handicap" Edwards for that loss. THAT they'll reserve for Kerry alone.

JK, however, IS my first choice. But given Edwards' impressive 'sprint' from the 'gate' today, JK better SOON enter this race. Edwards made this a whole new ball game today. At the very least, from now on there'll be a little less "Hilary/Obama ONLY" dialogue.

[DemDogs]

48. Edwards, whether Kerry enters on not.

Message is right with Edwards. We can't have a better communicator. AND ELECTABLE. Sadly, Kerry doesn't have those

[mnhtnbb]

4. Out of the three--Edwards is top choice. Put Gore in--and he's my pick.

[SoFlaJet]

9. me too

but if not Gore DEFINITELY Edwards over Obama or (I shudder to think) Hillary

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. B b b b but but but the MSM keeps telling us it is Clinton!

How can so many be so wrong?

How about, we are tired of corporate owned MSM telling us how to think, what to buy and what bull to believe?

[k_jerome]

6. you can rest assured, the DU CW pick will be out of the race first...

or nearly first.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. please explain to the great unwashed (like mois) what does CW stand for?

thanks.

[k_jerome]

17. conventional wisdom. nt.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. thanks. time for a shower.

:)

[mloutre]

7. sorry, you need a "none of the above" option n/t

[rox63]

8. None of those listed n/t

[Joey Liberal]

10. I chose Obama

Although I like Edwards too. I think Obama would draw more support from minority voters. I hope Hillary doesn't run and stays in the Senate. She can do more good for the country and the Democratic Party in the Senate.

[JeremyWestenn]

11. I choose Clinton.

I think she's a good candidate and would make a really good President.

[bigdarryl]

18. one problem she's a SHE and a she at this piont willnot get elected...

not in red state America.

[MGD]

31. She has a far better chance of getting elected in red State America than John Kerry or Barack Obama.

[MGD]

29. Hillary is more qualified than Obamma and Edwards put together.

I don't understand how supposedly progressive voters would support a white southern conservative Democrat like John Edwards over her. Obamma I can understand. Either way, I love her and will gladly support her.

[SanFranciscoValues]

37. ?

John Edwards is not a conservative democrat. Just because he was from the South, that doesn't make him a conservative. Did you even watch his speech when he declared his candidacy the other day? Universal health care? Lifting the poor out of poverty? Restoring our reputation in the world? Getting out of Iraq? How are those issues even remotely conservative? Personally, I would be happy with an Edwards/Obama ticket. I think America needs the kind of hope and optimism that such a ticket would provide. Clark would make a great Secretary of Defense : )

[ChiciB1]

46. IMO.... This Past Year Has Shown Me A Very Right Wing Bent

from Hillary! I really want her to "stay out of it" for now. There was a time when I felt she would be the best candidate, but now she is my very very last pick!

I call her DINO now. Besides, I don't like this line-up... Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush and now let's have ANOTHER Clinton! I don't think so, we MUST have more than two families in America you know!

[derby378]

13. Between those three, I would probably choose Edwards...

Tough call. But his ability to connect with his audience is undeniable.

[Infinite Hope]

14. Eddy. n/t

[nickshepDEM]

15. I can't make up my mind between Edwards and Obama.

[SanFranciscoValues]

38. Then why not...

Both : ) Edwards/Obama

[Clark2008]

16. Ewwww,,,

Hello, President McCain.

:eyes:

[baldguy]

20. Go with your heart in the primaries, go with your head in the general.

Dennis

[Manifestor_of_Light]

23. Edwards

Obama is too young and needs more experience.

Hillary is too right wing and voted for the Iraq war. She is too conservative.

Actually, I think Wesley Clark is FABULOUS!!!!!!

[FrenchieCat]

25. Righto with that Clark comment!

:thumbsup:

[MGD]

[AtomicKitten]

24. Gore

:)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

55. Ditto.

:)

[nebula]

26. None of the above

Gore and Clark are the only decent choices.

[Clarkie1]

27. It's amazing how popularity here changes so rapidly back and forth.

You would think that Edwards had announced today or something.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

28. I'd take Edwards out of these 3.

[hayu_lol]

32. CLARK...

Since we only have two declared candidates...shouldn't you have just put the Keebler Elf and Edwards on the poll?

CLARK

[machka]

39. except...

there's four. Vilsack and Gravel have also declared.

[Malmo Blue]

33. Edwards/Obama 2008

Hillary Clinton is leaning a little too much towards the right to get my vote. Sorry, Hil.

It would be awesome if Barack Obama became President, but he needs experience in American politics to become a Grade A Presidential Candidate. He would make a perfect Vice President, though. 8 years as VP under John Edwards would make excellent experience for the White House.

I guess you all know where this is going... Yes, I endorse Edwards. He has climbed up several ladders in society, political and economical, and now he wants to help the American people up these ladders. Two years ago, I was dreaming about John Edwards as Vice President of the United States. That was then... Edwards/Obama in 2008? Yes, please! :)

[mucifer]

34. Obama was the only one who spoke out against the war before it started

He wasn't in the US senate so he couldn't vote. But, He made his opinion known that we shouldn't invade.

[Malmo Blue]

36. Re: Obama was the only one who spoke out against the war before it started

Too be honest, I did actually support the war in Afghanistan when it started.
I don't know why, guess I was scared.

The point is: Everyone makes mistakes. Edwards' mistake was supporting for the war, and he has apologized for it. Nobody's perfect, but it's certainly a lot better than Bush' "stay the course" 'strategy'.

Obama opposed the war in Iraq, that I approve of. I've always thought the invasion was a big mistake.

[Adelante]

35. CLARK

[scorpion1477]

40. out of the three

edwards i guess...obama is still a blank page as far as I am concerned and I will never trust Senator Clinton

[Blue_In_AK]

41. None of the above. choice (d)

[LWolf]

42. None of the above.

Narrowing of choices does not force a choice from that narrow field; it leaves room for abstention, write-in, or 3rd party choice.

[fuzzyball]

43. If Gore was included in your list, he wins hands down eom

[Beacho]

44. Going for Edwards

But will vote for ANYONE on the ticket come the general election

[Raine]

47. Edwards

he's the only one of the three that has a chance of winning. This country is not progressive enough to elect a black or a woman.

[MODemocrat]

49. My vote's for Edwards

Just talked to my son-in-law in California, who was once republican leaning; but now, that Edwards is in the race and he has it all "sorted out", he's going to work for John. I like John Edwards, and his wife. John is smart, decent, charasmatic and honest. If he doesn't make it as the presidential nominee,
maybe he will be the vice-president.

John Edwards 2008 :thumbsup:

[CalebHayes]

50. Obama or Edwards, one of them MUST be #1 on the ticket but...

not on the same ticket.

[howmad1]

52. Considering the list of losers the rethuglicans are offering......

.....it's an embarrasment of riches for the Democratic Party. Let's hope we don't screw it up by choosing someone "electable". Dream ticket? Gore/Edwards, Edwards/Clark. For sure winners.

[JeremyWestenn]

54. Clinton for the win.

She'll be great.
