If Barack Obama wins the nomination will you vote for him?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

And why or why not.

Just kind of a pulse check out of curiosity.

[MaineDem]

1. You bet your ass I will...as I will if it's Clinton. n/t

[calimary]

108. Couldn't have said it better.

I voted for him in the California primary, but I'm still torn. I still like them both. Either of them would be INFINITELY superior to the "best" the bad guys have to offer, now and countless eons into the future. Our WORST is better than their best.

[ihavenobias]

118. Exactly...because if the choice is between

a dem who I'm not crazy about (I'm actually for Obama and not crazy about Hillary) and helping people like this--- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvhn43BmdWM --- it's no choice at all, of COURSE I'm voting for the Dem nominee!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

141. No one can afford to stay at home - the Congress and the Supreme Court are at stake

[Olney Blue]

2. I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

[Sadie5]

8. voting for the Democratic nominee

is a must, but after waiting 8 years to return this country back to reality I can't see why a inexperienced candidate is the forerunner. Oh, wait...he is a media creation just as Bush was and now the Democrats can be blamed for the business as usual we will see from Obama.And mark my words...it will happen but we should be used to it by now.

[Olney Blue]

28. Demo5, I agonized over my decision but voted for Senator Clinton yesterday

because I want a tough, experienced wonk in the presidency. That said, I am not worried about Senator Obama because he is smart and he is liberal and he will make a fine president (imho). What I haven't been able to do though, is understand the PASSION of his supporters. I just haven't made that connection with him to get excited. Maybe I'm too cynical, being here in the DC area all these years.....

[sasquatch]

36. Same here

:hi:

[Dulcinea]

38. Absolutely.

I will vote for Obama if he gets the nomination, and I will vote for Senator Clinton if she's the nominee. It is imperative that we have a Democratic president after these last 8 years of watching our country go down the toilet thanks to Darth Cheney & Boy George's misadministration.

[Alcibiades]

47. Me too

Anyone who says otherwise is just enabling another term for Bush and company.

[MikeNearMcChord]

3. Because America cannot afford four more years

of Republican rule! As a matter of fact the PLANET cannot afford four more years of Republican rule. And for the record if the nomination goes to Hillary, I will vote for her, for the same reason!

[graywarrior]

4. So people voting no would rather not vote for any democrat

Self centered to the extreme. Seriously....personality issues if your pride is that full of yourself.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. I see no's but no explanations why not

maybe just troll votes but I suspect there are some people who are true blue and might say no

[griffi94]

49. i voted no

here's why....jmo but obama seems to me to be the same candidate that bush was....no established record...asking people to trust him on faith.....and his likability....no real experience but don't worry he'll surround himself with good qualified people....bush was a uniter not a divider..what bush really was was a sloganeer...i think obama is the same ....just a different side of the same nickle.. sorry i don't have very much faith in any politician....the tent revival tactics sway many at his rallys.....those same tactics made billy graham a very rich man.....i don't want another presidency like dubyas regardless of what political party the candidate belongs to

[ORDem]

53. So, you'd really rather have McCain? Really? n/t

[griffi94]

57. whoever gets the most votes wins

i live in texas....it'll go for mccain
i don't owe my vote to anybody....and i don't vote or think in lockstep....responses down thread calling for members to be tombstoned if they won't vote for obama....reminds me of those stupid fuckin loyalty pledges that bush made people sign before the could get in to hear him speak.....god and the people in this forum were outraged....but now the foots on the other hand.....and it's ok cause when when our side
does some stupid outrageous bullshit...well it's for the good of the nation.

i will vote for all the democrats down ticket

67. I thought that was funny, but then humor is a personal thing...

[Auntie Bush]

117. I've noticed there are many souls here that don't have any sense of humor.

[Mountainman]

72. So either you are not going to vote or you are going to vote for McCain.

What other choice is there? If you are going to vote for McCain why are you posting here? If you are not going to vote and not a Hillary supporter why are you in this poll?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

115. I hear that Obama doesn't capitalize his words!

Its horrible!

[terrya]

6. Yes, I'll vote for Obama.

The alternative is unthinkable. America doesn't deserve a 3rd Bush term.

[racaulk]

Same here.

My vote would be more anti-McCain than pro-Obama.

[FSogol]

7. If you would vote no to the Democratic candidate in this election,

then why are you here? :shrug:

[Mountainman]

73. Right! Trolls I suspect.

[JPZenger]

88. Poll is a trick to smoke out the Trolls

Anyone who votes no is instantly identified on Skinner's giant mainframe computer. Then anything they ever wrote on any website using any ISP is permanently erased and replaced by a picture of a hairy troll cooked in wine sauce.

[RoadRage]

9. One Word: Judges.

[Dhalgren]

69. Democrats voted for Alito and Scalia and Thomas and Roberts.

Democrats don't have all that good of a record on judges...just sayin'...

[Barack_America]

96. But they didn't nominate them. n/t

[RoadRage]

102. True.. but i'd still like Obama nominating the next round over McCain.

[mtnsnake]

10. Is there any reason not to? Jeesh

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. I see such vitriol with each side claiming the will usher in a rep/dem era

where there's no difference

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

11. Anyone who votes "no" should have their membership here revoked. (nt)

[Pathwalker]

66. That's the WHOLE point of these daily polls, isn't it?

Administrators know how everyone votes, the rules have ALWAYS stated that posters are required to support the Democratic nominee, so the only point to these daily polls is to demand a mass slaughter as soon as the nominee is chosen. Otherwise, why post them every damn day?

[Big Blue Marble]

94. I strongly disagree.

One can be a strong Democrat and not be happy with the chosen candidate.

Only if they trash the candidate should they be forced to leave.

It is wicked groupthink to insist that everyone here votes for
the nominee. Why chase away good Dems because they want to
sit this one out? And its early anyway, most will come back
in November. Just trust that and do not be judgmental.

[endarkenment]

12. Of course.

[awaysidetraveler]

13. Of course I'll vote Obama.

It's the only respectable thing left to do.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. what if Clinton wins?

[racaulk]

14. I will vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever he or she ends up being. n/t

[Historic NY]

15. I want to win, I want to stop the 3rd Bush term..........

if no one else here wants to do that then they should join the freepers.

[onehandle]

18. So far 9% need tombstoning. nt

[angie_love]

19. Those wimps who voted NO, show yourselves!

[Dhalgren]

71. I am not a Democrat. I am not advocating anyone else for the office of

President of the United States. I did not realize that Party membership was required to be on this board. I guess I didn't see that part in the rules...

[NMMNG]

91. Mighty ballsy at the other end of a keyboard, aren't you?

I voted "NO". What are you going to do about it?

[angie_love]

127. I wanted to see what losers weren't going to vote for the democrat thereby voting for the rethug

Shameful, if you can honestly say Obama isn't better than McCain. He is a democrat and McCain is a rethug, there is a world of difference and if you don't see it you're not a democrat.

[NMMNG]

132. I'm not voting for McCain

I'm just not voting for Obama.

I'll write in another name. Kucinich, House Plant, or whatever comes to mind. I'm just not voting for your backstabbing, no experience, empty-suit, pander to the Republicans, Remocrat Obama. After that I'll renounce my membership in the party that has fucked me over far too many times.

[angie_love]

143. I don't care who you vote for as long as you do not vote rethug.

[LWolf]

168. Here I am.

Is this a personal attack?

[russian33]

20. I will vote for him, but I won't support him, donate to him, campaign...just vote in Nov.

[ronnykmarshall]

79. Second that.

But I'm open to change if they really start attacking him. Then I'll have to start sending some moolaw.

[H2O Man]

21. Yes.

Because I believe in the United States of America.

[Hawaii Hiker]

22. Democrats who will not vote for either HRC or Obama in Nov. well,

in my opinion, are not Democrats....How in the fuck can any true Democrat either stay home or vote for that dope McCain....

We need to support whoever gets the nomination, hasn't everyone had enough of fucking Republican rule the last 8 years...:banghead: :banghead:

[jgraz]

34. In states where Obama is crushing, there are valid reasons to vote for a progressive third-party

I think Obama is going to be our next president, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that happens. But when I vote in November, he'll likely be ahead in California by double-digits.

IMHO, that's the perfect opportunity to cast a "message vote" for a progressive third-party. If more people in the big, blue states did that, we'd see a lot more progressive ideals coming from the Democrats.

[Phillycat]

23. Of course I will. Anyone with a pulse and a D next to their name gets my vote.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. me too

my blood runs blue in my veins

[PermanentRevolution]

64. with that sig & avatar...

Your blood looks like it runs Black & White, too!

25. Most of the 10% will come around, I think

when all the vitrol on this board stops.

[DinahMoeHum]

26. I'd rather eat broken glass than vote Republikkkan or Green

at this point.

:kick:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

some people may just not vote at all

but apparently they don't want to explain themselves

[jgraz]

27. I will unless California is ridiculously pro-Obama

If he's winning by CA by 20 points or so, I'll likely take the opportunity to support one of our smaller pro-peace, pro-worker parties.

[suston96]

29. No, I will not - because DU has had too many fucking polls asking this question...nt

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. None that I've seen. But I don't come here too often.

It gets my blood pressure too high.

[nomorewhopper]

80. making voting decisions based on the actions of people on the internet makes excellent sense n/t

SARCASMMMMMMM

[rocktivity]

30. Yes, because he'll be the best Democrat for the job.

Though Obama didn't (and wasn't expected to) win in my state, I voted for him because in November I may have to vote for Hillary--and I want to be able to vote for Hillary knowing that SHE'LL be the best democrat for the job!

:patriot:

who votes in these polls.:evilgrin:

[Apollo11]

33. I guess not many DUers will recognize the photo in your signature

Unless they are familiar with English soccer players of the 1990s.

Alan Shearer, center forward of Blackburn Rovers then Newcastle United.

Do I get some kind of prize?? :eyes:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. If you can tell me what my avatar means

:D

btw: Big Al retired in 2006

[Apollo11]

39. Here we go ...

Geordi La Forge, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek: the next generation

He is wearing the black-and-white shirt of Newcastle United Football Club.

Supporters of Newcastle United are known as Geordies for historical reasons. B-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

46. Exactly - Geordie Geordie!

You win a prize!




edit: to be a bit more precise - people who live in and very closely around Newcastle Upon Tyne are known as Geordies for their dialect. Conversely their hated nearby rivals from Sunderland are known as Mackems for theirs.

[Apollo11]

51. Thanks for the prize!

It's true that people from Newcastle (Geordies) are said to speak with a Geordie accent.

But the origin of the name is historical, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie

I only know it because I have family and friends living close to Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

58. And Mackems are called Mackems because of their shipbuilding history

with the Geordies

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackem

[TooBigaTent]

40. Looks a little like Geordi La Forge, Chief Engineer of the Enterprise, playing in the

holodeck.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. that's one half of it

[NOLALady]

37. I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

I cannot have blood on my hands by participating in another republican presidency.

[beachmom]

41. I will vote for the nominee whether it be Obama or Hillary. Those who voted "no"

should not be posting on DU.

[LWolf]

169. Happily, you aren't the "decider," lol. nt

[robbedvoter]

42. I am voting Democratic on November

[lame54]

43. No - I'm voting against the republican - not quite the same thing...

I voted against republican in '84, '88' - in '92 I voted for Clinton - but in '96 and 2000 went back to voting against republican

[zalinda]

45. I am voting for Edwards in the GE

and the mods know it, because I've stated it before. I've grown to hate Obama, I dislike Clinton, but I live in New York state which is blue, so it doesn't matter who I vote for.

zalinda

[BlackVelvet04]

48. You guys must be worried....

a question about this is posted every 15 minutes.

[robbedvoter]

54. I noticed that - can the oath of loyalty be far behind?

[BlackVelvet04]

55. forced

assimilation?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

60. are you serious? You people can be vicious

I will support Hillary if she wins.

[cd3dem]

86. even if the super-delegates put her over the top and they seat Michigan and Florida as is?

[Danger Mouse]

126. Forced assimilation? Don't make me laugh.

You're stupid if you don't vote Democrat in '08...you're just helping McCain, who would be 100x worse than Hillary OR Obama.
'100 years of war'? 'Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran'? Is that what you want to help win the white house?
Vote how you want, but don't expect to not be called to task for it, either.
I will gladly vote for Hillary if she wins.

[rodeodance]

134. PRESENT

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

59. I don't come here often as it makes my blood pressure spike - so I haven't

seen posts like this

[goldcanyonaz]

50. I’d have to think about that. I’d have to think about policies, his approach, his tone.

[backscatter712]

52. Where's the option for FUCK YEAH!!!?

He's the best man we've got right now.

[RiverStone]

56. I'm supporting the Democratic nominee!!!

Which I hope and expect to be Obama - but I'll give my vote (and nothing more) to Hillary.

NOT voting for our nominee = supporting the puke war mongers. No fucking excuse for that!!!

[WinkyDink]

61. Why are these types of questions here? DU states: To support Democratic candidates. WHAT ABOUT THAT

is DIFFICULT to COMPREHEND?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

70. Nothing - I wanted to word it the way I did

:hi:

[jeffrey_X]

62. 15% won't? Wow.

eom

[moosen]

75. that's evidence of his divisiveness

[jeffrey_X]

82. ok.

great explanation.

[Vinca]

65. If it's between Obama and John "100 Years War" McCain,

is there a choice? If I didn't vote for the Democratic candidate I would feel as if I had blood on my hands.

[moosen]

74. I doubt it, I've been suspicious of this Obamamania from the start

frankly, it's creeping me out. I've never seen an emptier suit rise so far, so fast.

I'll have to do a lot of soul searching before casting a vote for Obama.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

77. "empty suit"?

explain

welcome btw :hi:

[Indenturedebtor]

97. Go vote for McCain then

HRC has been my very bottom of the barrel last choice this entire primary season but I'll still cast a vote against McCain.

If McCain beats Obama in the GE and you don't vote for the Democratic candidate I hope that you personally write every dead soldiers' family a letter explaining why you helped kill their loved ones and why it was worth it.

And no that's not a flame, just think about it for a second would you? All of you who voted no, if you mean it you will have blood on your hands. A lot of blood.

[Az_lefty]

76. vote fo rhim and work for him...GoBama!

if Hillary wins fair and square, I'll vote for her. If she pulls off some insider job with the supers to get the nom, I'm done with her and the democratic party.

[Hatchling]

78. I wouldn't know how I could campaign for him.

I could campaign for Clinton with confidence. But I'll surely vote for him. As others have said, t's a vote against the Republicans.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

81. Wow. We Have That Many Brain Dead Morons Here?

I figured I'd see a few dumbass No's, but 32? :wow:

[blindpig]

89. Who are the dumbasses around here?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein.

Don't ya get just a little tired of it?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

90. The Answer To That Is Clear.

The braindead head up their ass ignoramus jackasses are the 38 who voted no. (yes, not voting for the Dem this election factually makes one a braindead head up their ass ignoramus jackass)

[blindpig]

100. so, you don't think much of Einstein's wisdom?

how many times ya gotta beat your head against the wall before ya figure it out?

Barnum was right.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

105. I'm A Huge Fan Of Einstein. I'm Just Not A Fan Of Utter Stupidity, Twisted Premise, And

closed minded ignorance.

It is the latter that has been referenced in this thread, whereas the former has yet to be related whatsoever.

[Bake]

101. OMC, there was a thread earlier today that explains why some cannot, in good conscience, vote Obama

And it goes back to the McClurkin fiasco. Some folks here, evidenced from the thread I read this morning, are feeling awfully left out ... we want their votes and their money, but otherwise, we want them to shut the fuck up. At least that's how they feel. And frankly, they'll be thrown under the bus no matter who wins the GE, so from their perspective, what's the point?

As for me, I'll vote against McCain regardless. But I certainly understand how some people around DU feel, and I respect them.

Bake

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

104. So What You're Saying Is That We Have A Bunch Of Selfish Fuckers Amongst Us?

Ya know "I don't think they'll hel MEEEEEEEEE, so fuck everyone else in the world. Let another republican be elected who will continue to destroy our country, good name, and hurt the globe, cause I don't care. I didn't get what IIIIIII wanted".

Pathetic.

[Bake]

106. Everybody, sooner or later, votes self-interest.

The laws of economics are the laws of self-interest. We lament that the lower-to-middle class Repubs vote against their self-interest consistently.

I'm simply saying I respect the opinions and positions of some who have been taken for granted, or used and then thrown under the bus, for far too long. I understand where they're coming from.

If the rest of us don't, we may be in for a surprise come November. We don't need to alienate any part of our coalition.

Bake

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

109. Well You Are Far More Gracious Than I.

Because truth be told, I can't really have respect for ANYBODY that having known better, having known what's occurred the last 7 years, having learned the truth through being a member here, would still do something as blatantly stupid and selfish as not voting for the Dem next election.

[Danger Mouse]

125. Damn fucking straight.

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Marrah_G]

179. The dumbasses are the ones who would be fine with a McCain Presidency.

The Dumbasses are those who would have no problem with McCain picking a couple more Supreme Court Justices and neatly throwing away what is left of our freedom.

But hey, don't let that get in the way of your ego and pride.

[Amimnoch]

83. Hillary has my vote for the primary, but I voted yes

Hillary has my vote in the primary on March 4th, but whichever wins the primary, they will definitely have my vote, my little bit of financial support, my volunteering for phone bank time for them, and rally attendance for the general.

[apocalypsehow]

85. Absolutely yes - and I intend to vote Senator Clinton if she is the nominee

Who are the jerks who are voting "no" in this poll?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

87. yes i will. i will probably also donate money to him.

[onehandle]

92. Now 15% need tombstoning. nt

[tandem5]

93. ah yes the democratic way

[mindfulNJ]

95. I'd vote for a head of cabbage

if it was the Democratic nominee.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

98. I'm a GAY clinton supporter.. HELL YES I'd vote for Obama!

I would proudly vote for him

And I'm a gay man.


I don't like his pandering to ex-gay gospel singers... but I can forgive him.


If it becomes clear that Hillary can no longer win, I will campaign my ass off for Obama!

[Shine]

99. Absolutely!

I'm an Edwards supporter and haven't swung to either side yet, but if he wins it, I'd definitely vote for him...albeit the same thing goes for Hillary. :D

[noonwitch]

103. I voted for Hillary, but I like Obama-the speech he gave at the 2004 convention

is one of the best I've ever heard. I like him, I just think he needs more experience to top the ticket. I don't hate John McCain, but I'd rather have Obama be president.

[thoughtcrime1984]

107. 42 for McCain?

Pathetic. I'd vote for Hil if she somehow wins.

[Florida22ndDistrict]

110. No

1) I liked Obama long before he decided to run and believe he is a smart man, but as soon as he decided to run for president his message became stars and pixie dust. I read over his website several months ago and I didn't feel he addressed the issues that are important to me, or didn't propose his vision well on those that I find important.

2) The Democrats in general have disenfranchised me this year as a Florida voter, and I'm not too forgiving of people that tax me but don't honor my vote. Tea anyone?

I have an open mind and would be willing to consider him if 1) He pushes to resolve the Florida / Michigan delegate situation soon, and 2) starts to flesh out his issues more thoroughly.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

111. welcome to DU

:hi:

[Florida22ndDistrict]

114. Thanks for the welcome.

:hi:

[aquarius dawning]

159. got balls.

[Florida22ndDistrict]

173. re

Aquarius, what are you going on about. I noticed you posted pwned under my comments. Congratulations you got my attentions, now can you go back to playing World of Warcraft. I'm sorry I can't play around on a forum all day with you and respond to your post bumps. I have a business to run and a life to live.

[aquarius dawning]

174. Uhm, yeah. Looking back, it appears that I actually complimented you twice

so, why are you busting my balls for that?
:shrug:

[Florida22ndDistrict]

180. re:

OK, well I apologize then. From the looks of it, it look like you where taking a random jab at me, then returning 3 hours latter to bump that jab for attention, then returning another 2 hours latter with “got balls” under another of my posts. I took it wrong, no hard feelings.

[aquarius dawning]

181. I figured as much. It's OK

And I am just bumping this poll actually. It makes more sense to keep this poll on page 1 rather than have a half a dozen people post the same basic poll every day. To me anyways.
Peace

[SKKY]

112. Let me make this very clear...

...I will be voting for the Democratic candidate next November. End of story.

[Norwood]

113. I'll vote for him but thats probably it

I don't see myself volunteering any time or money to the campaign.

[Rosa Parks son]

116. I would vote for George Bush

before voting for McCain Lieberman so of course I would vote for Obama, especially if it's close.

[Kitsune]

119. There is a missing option here: Maybe.

I am not entirely certain I can bring myself to vote for Obama, given some of his positions that I find particularly egregious.

On the other hand, he DOES have a chance of winning me over for the general election, and I genuinely hope that he can, because if he does it means he'll have addressed my concerns.

If not, I'll simply not cast a vote for the presidency, though I will still vote on all other offices and measures that are up on the November 2008 ballot.

[redqueen]

120. Aduh.

Do I want McCain in charge?

Well okay then!

[IndianaGreen]

121. I will vote for Obama early and often!

:-)

[cjmastaw]

122. Lots of Pugs on here today.

[Danger Mouse]

123. To those who voted no...President John McCain thanks you.

:puke:

[Florida22ndDistrict]

128. ...

Fear tactics are a favored method of fascists, and adherence to a party no matter its actions smell of fascism as well. Generally those who lean to the left feel that you gain support by proposing sound ideas and putting in place policy that inspires people to do good. Your mindset and that of those like you contributes more to a McCain victory then any of the nays on this forum.

[Danger Mouse]

136. Damn right it's fear tactics! Fear of 8 more years of Republican rule.

I think that is something every DU'er is afraid of.

[Danger Mouse]

137. gotta add, being compared to a facist by a n00b...priceless...

:rofl:

[Florida22ndDistrict]

146. ...

It is the responsibility of leadership to lead with good ideas and to inspire action. If people fail to follow, that is the fault of the leader not that of those who do not fall in line blindly out of fear. Trying to stigmatize me with childish name calling while claiming a post count as a credential that you word is somehow more valid then mine is also ridiculous. But with a name like Elrond Hubbard, which bears a striking resemblance to L. Ron Hubbard (Lafayette Ronald Hubbard) the founder of the church of scientology my guess is that you are serving your purpose here.

What is truly priceless are the striking resemblances between your candidate and the bearer of your user name. L. Ron Hubbard was a self-aggrandizing, sociable, charming, charismatic man who had an interest in hypnosis, believed men are his slaves, and was the leader behind a movement that most people see as cult like. I hope a few more then I see past your facade. Priceless indeed. Have a nice day L. Ron..

[Danger Mouse]

170. and another moron assumes that i'm a scientologist.

hey buddy, when you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME...well, really, just U.
i actually despise the church of scientology and try to inform people of the evil that they do.

[Florida22ndDistrict]

172. RE: and another moron assumes that i'm a scientologist.

You might want to try reading some time (really it's quite useful). You actually get a chance to comprehend what someone is conveying to you and you might even learn a little bit of vocabulary while your at it. If you actually read what I wrote, I in no way called you a scientologist, or any name for that matter. I made a comparison between the bearer of your user name and the candidate you represent. Both use similar methods to control people. I guess facts and common decency evade your capabilities and you would rather resort to name calling and bullying (typical fascist activities). Have a nice day L. Ron.

[Danger Mouse]

183. hey, you're the one who brought fascism into this in the first place.

and you're the one who has kept up the snotty and condescending tone right from the start.
you get what you give.

124. Of course.

But I will add an asterick and write on the ballot that DU Obama supporters stink.

[cooolandrew]

129. That's very reassuring.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

130. Yes, absolutely; without hesitation.

I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

[GoldieAZ49]

131. Because he has the energy/vision/bipartisanship this country needs to move forward

I kid! I kid!

But that's how I feel right now.

[mcctatas]

135. I'll vote for Barack or Hillary...

Hell I'd even vote for the jolly green giant if he could beat the pukes!

[jlake]

138. I would never vote "For" Obama. I will be voting against McCain - holding my nose all the way.

And depending on how the GE campaign goes, I may not even be able to do that.
Will either write in "Joe Biden" or "Hillary Clinton".

[Hutzpa]

139. Do you really have to ask this question n/t

[LadyVT]

140. No, and his recent interview with the Columbus OH paper is why...

It sums it all up for me. The paper interviewed all remaining candidates about their foreign policy, and asked them why they would each be the best candidate to lead the nation amongst other nations.

Hillary listed her experience on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, her already established relationships with the leaders of most of the world's countries, etc.

Barack said he is the ONLY person who can bring the world together because he has a grandmother who lives in poverty in Kenya without running water, and once lived in a Muslim nation.

I am not kidding. That is what he said. The grandiosity and narcissism of this man is beyond belief. (And because of his grandma and having lived in Indonesia, the world will just fall behind him in awe?) A recent, well-constructed, and large-scale study of college students in the US found that 40% now score at the level of narcissistic personality disorder (up from <10% in the 60s). So Obama's time is now.

Obama... please send your grandmother some of your millions. For shame.

[IndianaGreen]

142. Hillary's "experience" gave us a war in Iraq and a future war in Iran

Hillary also allied herself with the Latin American elites, which means that as President she will start many a Contra wars in order to reimpose American hegemony over the region.

I don't want as President a woman that confuses strength with brutality!

[apocalypsehow]

167. Excellent post.

:thumbsup:

[stimbox]

144. Big Brother Is Watching. Be careful how you vote.

[El Pinko]

145. Without hesitation. And I was very close to voting for Clinton in the primaries.

He'll be a great candidate, as would Hillary.

[indimuse]

147. I will be voting for Hillary !

either way!I will write her name in IF bho is the nom...though he WON'T be!!!

[Warren Stupidity]

148. 54 trolls and counting

That is pretty sad.

[Tesha]

150. Not everyone who votes "no" is a troll.

> 54 trolls and counting
> That is pretty sad.

Not everyone who votes "no" is a troll.

(Full disclosure: I voted "yes" in this poll, but I've
consistently stated that I will not vote for Hillary in
the General Election. And my support for Obama in the
General Election is tepid, at best.)

Some of us are just disappointed that our party seems
to routinely nominate a terrible candidate in persuit
of some mythical "centrist" voter. Obama and Clinton
are probably the worst choices from our original field
of candidates this cycle. Kerry was a terrible choice.
Gore was good, but Lieberman has turned out to be an un-
mitigated disaster. And Bill Clinton wrecked the party.
This would have been the perfect cycle to STRONGLY STATE
the difference between Democrats and Republicans, and to
point out exactly why MOST AMERICANS are better served
by the Democrats than by the Republicans.

So it's a shame none of the folks with real ideas, real
policies, and real Democratic values emerged as our
standard-bearer instead of these two might-as-well-be-
old-style-New-England-Republican "Democrats".

Tesha

[Tesha]

149. Yes, as long as I *NEVER* listen to him speak.

His God-mongering in every speech and his quite-common
lack of any specifics makes me dislike him every time
I hear him speak. But if I make sure not to hear him
for several weeks, I get over it.

I'll vote for him, but if he turns out to be a disasterous
candidate for the Democrats or a disasterous President,
I wopn't be the least bit surprised.

Tesha

[adapa]

151. His foreign policy's, anti-Israel etc are *very* worrisome

last thing we need is to blunder into another war because of inexperience.

[Orsino]

152. He's my next-to-last choice.

I voted for Obama over Clinton, so I'll sure as hell vote for him over McCain, or any other asshat the GOP nominates.

[Hugabear]

155. Last time I checked, this was DEMOCRATIC Underground

We should ALL support whoever our nominee is. I simply cannot fathom 4-8 more years of rethuglican rule.

[HeraldSquare212]

156. 2x!

[DemGa]

157. I cannot

Obama used the right-wing hate machine against Hillary -- a shameless and dishonest tactic.

But I am looking for the Obama facade to fall fast -- and OH, TX, and PA await. So I will be voting the Dem nominee, it just won't be BO.

[goldcanyonaz]

158. I agree, as have the majority of his supporters on this forum used RW talking points against Clinton

He's not even an option for me, and I will not be voting for him come November, that is if he is even the nominee.

At one time there were ABC (anyone but Clinton0 threads daily around here which were hailed and celebrated. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they're crying foul.

[Tesha]

162. So when he *IS* the nominee in November, what will you do? (NT)

[aquarius dawning]

160. .

:dem:

[DFW]

161. Absolutely!!

He is not my first choice, but my first choice chose not to run, so I am
left with deciding between others in the primary, but there is no way in the
world I will pick up my marbles and go home if the Democratic nominee is either
Obama or HRC. They both are miles away from McCain, and neither of them will
appoint a Supreme Court Justice anything like the radical-right shams of
Alito and Roberts. McCain says that is exactly what he would do. I want a
Supreme Court that will, upon a challenge, rule the so-called "Patriot" Act as
unconstitutional, not one that would uphold it. The start will be the justice
nominated to succeed John Paul Stevens, who will be something like 88 this year.
He will surely not last another 8 years on the bench. The president inaugurated
next January will be picking one, possibly several new SC justices. Vote Democratic,
and you vote for more like Breyer and Bader-Ginsburg. McCain has already stated flat
out that he wants more like Alito and Roberts. Maybe that doesn't scare you, but not
everyone has a private intercontinental jet fueled and waiting at the nearest airfield
with dual-citizenship documents on board. It scares me.

So yes, I'll vote for Obama if he is nominated. I'll vote for Clinton if she is nominated.
I'll vote for John. P Wintergreen and Alexander Throttlebottom if it comes to that. But
there is no way I'll be voting for McCain unless the Denver convention nominates Tom DeLay.

Not bloody likely.

[Blue_In_AK]

163. Yes, but not happily or with much confidence.

I say the same about Hillary.

[Rockholm]

175. LOve to see the reverse poll of this one.

If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, will you vote for him?"
There probably was one already.

[Marrah_G]

176. Campaign for him and vote for him.

Unlike some asshats on this board, the GE election matters more to me then the primaries.

Every single one of our candidates is far better then any one of theirs.

[Imagevision]

177. 4 in this family will be voting for Obama...

[workinclasszero]

178. Already voted for Obama in the primary and

will be proud to vote for him in the GE.:patriot:
GOBAMA!!!

[NoPasaran]

182. Votes? Does THE ONE Even Need Votes?

Surely the heavenly host will descend and convey HE WHO IS TO BE bodily into the Oval Office.

[Beacool]

184. I won't lift a finger to help elect a man who I think is not worthy of the presidency.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't like nor respect Obama.

I don't think that he has earned the right to be our nominee. Where was this guy a little more than 3 years ago? Oh yeah, in the state legislature. I frankly don't give a rat's tail end about any state senator and wouldn't consider one of them fit to be president. I would have voted, and even campaigned, for Obama if he had taken the trouble to actually acquire some experience at the national level before his arrogance won over the wisdom of waiting a few years. I see that he has sweet talked a whole bunch of people into voting for him (mainly the very young, the African-Americans and the upwardly mobile). The true base of the party are still Hillary's voters as will be demonstrated in states like OH, PA & TX. Pretty speeches do NOT solve problems and I prefer Hillary's policy knowhow over empty rhetoric any day of the week.

Therefore, for the first time in my life, this lifelong Democrat is staying home in November and let the chips fall where they may.

[aquarius dawning]

185. Brave words indeed

[goldcanyonaz]

187. I'm in agreement with you.

[Alter Ego]

186. Hell yes.

I'll vote for him and support him enthusiastically--just like I have been.

If it is Hillary, however, no matter how much I disapprove of the way she's run her primary campaign...she'll get my vote. That's pretty much it.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

188. Yes, because

I support the Democratic nominee even when I think s/he will lose.

Like these guys. Voted for them all.

Didn't actually lose.

189. Wow, so 15% are either

Racists or republicans. Wow.

[Beacool]

190. Neither!

I don't owe the party anything and I refuse to vote for a man who I do not think should win the nomination.

[aquarius dawning]

191. It has been around 15%-17% for a long time actually.

[Milo_Bloom]

192. Obama... yes... Clinton... no.

If Clinton somehow got the nomination, I would vote 3rd party.

Clinton has proven to me she is untrustworthy... at least with Obama, there is a chance we won't be betrayed.

[still_one]

193. Yes, unless the MI and FL delegates are seated without a revote

In that case I will need to think long and hard exactly what the party really stands for
