Not happy with Clinton or Obama
How many here have been polled by a legitimate national polling group as to your choice for President? I never have been . . . I find it hard to believe that Hillary is the most popular candidate. I have tried and just can't learn to like her.

I started out liking Vilsack, Iowa, who was running for about 2 days and dropped out.

My most favorites aren't even running - Howard Dean or Sen. Jim Webb (VA) with maybe Wes Clark for VP...

2. I've never been polled either
I saw one news report that said they don't call cell phone numbers. There's a sizeable portion of the population that doesn't have a land line. Their cell phone is their primary phone.

14. Yes, Edwards Must Be The Nominee
In recent years, no Democrat has been elected President unless he is from the South. I just can't believe that my redneck relatives from East Texas will vote for a woman or a black. But Edwards is the best of the three anyway --he's more of a populist than the 2 of them combined. DUers should Google his recent speeches -- they'll put a smile on your face!

5. I'm not inspired by any of them
If the primary were held today, I'd probably vote for Edwards. He comes the closet to understanding were average working Americans are.

Hillary is a corporate whore who favors outsourcing of good paying jobs, including mine, to India.

Obama is indebted to General Dynamics and I wasn't happy with how he gave us CT Dems the finger for voting against Lieber-bush last year.

6. Add Feingold to that list
Russ Feingold was an early favorite of mine. Of course I still like Kucinich though he doesn't stand much of a chance. Gravel is good to keep the other candidates honest. I sort of lean towards Edwards.

7. I have not been polled either
Hilary is not my number one choice. I prefer Clark, Gore or Jim Webb. But none of them are running.

11. Never Been Polled Either... I'm In With Edwards & Have Been For
a long time. Given where I live, polls are almost meaningless to me! But I must add that even though I always vote, I'm not really sure it gets counted!

Since I've posted it so many times, it's not hard to figure out where I live and almost all the polls I've ever seen before an election turned out to be completely WRONG!

12. I am not sold on either of them yet
DK is my first choice of those actually running right now and Gore is my overall No. 1.

13. President Clark would make this country proud again!
Needless to say, I am not impressed.

Down right depressed!

I've been disappointed for so long.

I feel like disengaging all together.

Just can't jump on any band wagon.

Left behind,

AGAIN

15. corporate america & corporate media
are happy with HRC so that is who the nominee will be. that way another power hungry rethug puppet can be installed and the road to facism can continued to be paved w/ the bodies of the once great American middle class.
