Question for the Dean supporters

[Archae]

Just curious, suppose in the next week, (hypothetical here,) Dean says "Enough."

Who would you support?

Kerry?
Edwards?
Kucinich?

[hippiechick]

1. Kucinich for me, please n/t

:hippie:

[dsc]

2. I am voting for Dean in the Ohio primary no matter what

after that I have no idea.

[slinkerwink]

3. I'd focus on congressional races next

as a part of keeping the grassroots effort.

[Debi]

4. Did you pose this same questions to the Edwards Supporters?

And the Kucinich supporters?
And the Sharpton supporters?

Put your fork away - the man is not done!

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. If he did, I'd respond 'Dean'.

:hi:

[Bill McBlueState]

5. some of us were pondering that in a poll thread I started

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=348758

It appears a lot of people would still vote for Dean.

My question is, what's the status of delegates who are pledged to a candidate who has withdrawn? Do they still vote for him?

[Egnever]

6. I allready voted so it really doesnt matter

But i would get behind Kucinich.

I dont think Dean is going to drop out though I think he came to the conclusion that it is better to stay in and help drive the debate than give up the fight. I plan to help him do it. I honestly believe without him in the race democracy loses.

7. Ficus

methinks

[gWbush is Mabus]

8. Kucinich

[maxanne]

9. funny

Dean MUST drop out (or so we're told at DU) but Kucinich does not?

[Darth_Kitten]

10. WHY is there such a need to write Dean off?

:shrug:

Why not these threads for Edwards? Kucinich? WHY just Dean???????

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. Kooch.

Then 3rd party.

[janx]

12. As a Dean supporter, I will vote Dean in our caucuses.

That's what the primary process is for.

No horse trading for me, thanks. ;-)

[nonconformist]

13. Nobody

Until the Democratic Convention. At that moment, my energy will be transferred to getting Bush OUT.

[bigwillq]

14. I will still vote Dean in my primary

he'll still be on the ballot. I'm not really sure who I'll support at this moment. I relate closest to Kucinich so probably him but I'll be very saddened I expect for a while when (if!) Dean drops out. If Kerry is the nod, right now he'll get my vote in Nov. but I'm not sure if I will do much more at this point. Expect to vote for the DEM and to tell other people to vote DEM as well.

[Archae]

15. I like Dean.

I mean, I can't DISlike him.
He's put a fire under the ass of democrats they've needed since 2000.

I'm just saying this because it looks like at this time, that Kerry is doing the best.

I am sorry that Clark dropped out.

Leberman stayed in WAYYYYY too long.
(As in he should have dropped out BEFORE he started.)

Kuchinich I like too, he has good ideas.

Edwards, well, I don't know that much about him.

[MR. ELECTABLE]

16. I'll support Dean. I'll vote Edwards, though.

For the simple reason that he's NOT John Kerry. At least then Edwards will have a shot at stopping the train-wreck that will be Kerry/whoever.

[ibegurpard]

17. None of the above

eom

[burning bush]

18. Dean In Idaho

Then I'll encourage everyone I know in every state yet to vote to vote for Dean as a protest.

Then, assuming Dean quits...I'll follow Dean's lead in the GE.

If he leaves the Dem party, so do I. (After the assfuck he got from the party, who would blame him?)

If he stays, then I may hold my nose and vote Dem, just to say I did it. In fact, what I may do if Kerry is our nominee is write Kerry's name in against Bush in the GE, that way there will be a separate tally of Kerry votes to measure the contempt of those who feel cheated by the party.

But - If Kerry is the nominee, he will get not one cent of my donations, nor one second of my time, and you best believe that 2004 will not be forgotten.

[Demobrat]

20. None of the above.

Just call me non-transferrable.

[NoPasaran]

21. Dean

To the bitter end.

I just got a new tshirt dammit

[mzmolly]

22. Dean...I'm voting for him in the Primary race no matter what...

:hi:

[Ramsey]

23. Dean

My primary is in April, and if Dean drops out before then I will write him in.

But before I get a bunch of flames, I am ABB in the general.

[sugarcookie]

24. Nobody but Dean

in the Primary.

[w13rd0]

25. Dean...

...I am voting FOR someone, not just against Bush. PERIOD.

[Mr. McD]

26. Kucinich

If Dean drops out before the CA primary.

[hedda_foil]

27. I'll vote for Dean in the primary if I have to write him in.

Period.

[w4rma]

28. Edwards, to help him build more creds for a VP position with Kerry.

Note, my primary has already come and gone: Virginia.

[Exgeneral]

29. from what I gather

and from everything I've heard, Dean isn't quitting yet.

in answer to your question:
I went from Clark to nobody, but am really amazed at the media treatment of Howard Dean.


All of thisis moot, the DLC is kramming kerry down our throats because it's good for us.

[Lisaben2619]

30. Kuchinich, Sharpton, then Edwards....

then would be looking for reasons vote Kerry in November, but I sure have not found them yet.

[shanti]

31. i'm in cali

and i'll write his name in if he's not on the ballot. only in the general election will i vote for another. it's called a protest vote!

[Oreegone]

32. I'll write Dean in

If he drops out before he gets here, and I'll vote for him if he does.

Then I will hold my nose if its Kerry or work like hell for Edwards, but it is anybody but Bush.

[DebJ]

33. Dean. And I will support massive changes in our primaries setup

[Lisaben2619]

34. Out of curiosity, DebJ...

what do you mean by "massive changes in our primaries setup"?

[MercutioATC]

35. Dean in the primary.

The nominee in the GE.

[stickdog]

36. Dean, just like everyone else I work with to change America.

Except for a few Kuchinich supporters!

[dansolo]

37. Dean (and Obama)

I'll write Dean in if I have to. At least I'll be able to vote for Obama in the IL Senate primary.
