DUers that do not watch TV: Who was your first choice candidate?

[Zorra]

Just wondering if there might be any correlation between television viewing and choice of candidate.

[NastyRiffraff]

1. John Edwards

I don't have a TV, because I don't want one. I'd probably throw something at the screen and smash it.

[tekisui]

2. Kucinich.

[Fresh_Start]

3. John Edwards

right after I realized that Gore was a hopeless cause

[gateley]

4. I don't watch TV, but I DID watch the debates -- it was watching those

debates that influenced my choice of candidate. Don't know if I qualify' for responding to your question or not, but I did anyway. :7

[silverweb]

5. Obama.

[starmaker]

6. Mike Gravel

I like Mike

[truedelphi]

9. Ya know Mike Gravel's "Oligarchy" YouTube

Ad is one of my favorite YouTube's ever.

Great music and absolute truth in the message, which they demonstrate to you.

[Straight Shooter]

7. Christopher Dodd.

[BOSSHOG]

8. Believe it made a difference in the 60 presidential debate

between Kennedy and Nixon. The majority of those who watched it on TV thought Kennedy won, the who listened on the radio thought Nixon won.

[Sanity Claws]

10. John Edwards

I watched part of the debates on line.
I watch almost no television but do watch some, maybe an hour a week. I didn't see any political ads.

[LSdemocrat]

11. Well I don't regularly watch cable news, and I supported Edwards

[CTD]

12. Strongly wanted Gore to run. With no Gore, favored Biden.

With Biden out, now favor Obama.

(In 1992, I favored Tsongas. In 2000, I favored Bradley.)

Oh, and I strongly dislike Hillary and believe she cannot win in November.

[LynzM]

13. Kucinich, followed by Edwards

:)

[truedelphi]

14. Zorra, if you want to decipher the impact of

The televised debates on the subconscious, google "Mike Grvel" and then "Oligarchy" and then YouTube
as your three expressions.

That video is one of the most comprehensive comments on modern day TV hypnosis since McCluhan
(the MEdia is the Message)

[Zorra]

20. Thanks, I'll check it out.

:hi:

[truedelphi]

21. If nothing else, you'll probably find the music compelling.

And as McCluhan says, "the medium is the message"

[IndieLeft]

15. Hillary, then Edwards, then Obama

How'd I vote? Obama

[cali]

16. Don't have TV listen to talk radio. My choice: Obama

[Birthmark]

17. Edwards.

He wasn't just my first choice, he was my only choice.

[zalinda]

18. John Edwards n/t

[cd3dem]

19. Hillary, Biden, Richardson, Edwards, Kuchinich, Dodd, Obama

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

22. Kucinich

still my candidate. Just now its for the 10th District, Ohio. Wish it were for all the US. Don't trust news on TV. Don't watch.

[Emit]

23. Kucinch then Edwards n/t

[NoBorders]

24. But you cannot determine causality

It may be that people who don't have TV's prefer a certain candidate or type of candidate, and not that what one watches on TV determines who you favor.

[Zorra]

28. True, although the two may be related on some levels. n/t

[Mrs. Overall]

25. Kucinich, Edwards, and now not sure, but leaning toward Obama, but still considering Hillary.

I watch some TV, but do not watch network or cable news or talk shows.

[Jackpine Radical]

26. Edwards.

[Lilith Velkor]

27. Kucinich, then Gravel. n/t

[Adelante]

29. Obama

I live in Mexico and don't have almost all of the channels other DUers have.

[Bucky]

30. Biden

[Zorra]

31. kick

[IsItJustMe]

32. John Edwards. And it was John Edwards today.

[Zorra]

33. So far, only 15% of the respondents that named their first choice

candidate have a candidate that is still in the race.
