Who do you REALLY think would be a better president?

[FlyingSquirrel]

Between Clinton and Obama, I mean. Obviously there are many who had a different candidate originally and believe they would be better than the final two.

[thunder rising]

1. You mean really really...really?

[FlyingSquirrel]

2. Really really.

[Yael]

3. Why would someone support one candidate while thinking another would be better?

[FlyingSquirrel]

4. There are a lot of people who have said they think Hillary might be better

but have doubts about her electability. (Lately I haven't heard much of that though.. GDP has become, uh, polarized.)

[Yael]

7. Electibility was one of my main concerns in my choice of candidate

I guess it never crossed my mind.

[roseBudd]

20. You are kidding right. Gore sighed repeatedly in a debate. You trust Hillary not to come off

as annoying between now & November? That will be her Dean scream.

Reality bites.

[FrenchieCat]

5. Because they believe one candidate can win, and the other one can't? n/t

[Yael]

6. Thanks!

[Recursion]

29. Kucinich would be a great President

Doesn't mean I would spend time and money supporting someone who will almost certainly not win

[Sparkly]

8. Define "supporting."

I know that sounds dumb, but I need to know to answer this poll! :)

[FlyingSquirrel]

10. With words or dollars or both.

[rurallib]

9. Russ Feingold.

[PassingFair]

23. He supports Obama.

Like a real Progressive should.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Supporting bothneither but bothneither would neitherneither both both

I'm really getting confused with all these silly polls.:rofl:

[FlyingSquirrel]

12. Well I gotta use up my 3 posts, I've been slacking the last few days.

Man I have a lot of unused minutes on my cell phone plan too.

:evilgrin:

15. How about checking for loose change under the cushions

while you're at it?

[FlyingSquirrel]

19. Don't get this place started on cushions again!

:rofl:

13. This whole fucking place is manic

not intended for the OP, and I approve this message

[FlyingSquirrel]

18. I approve of your avatar

It was the first one I had.

14. A candidate who supports single payer and protecting SS --- for just two ideas . . .

Neither Clinton nor Obama support those concepts ---

How about someone talking regularly about Global Warming and the tremendous threat it is to
humanity and the planet?

How about someone talking about obscene Oil industry prices/profits ---
and nationalizingthe industry? And, apply a "Windfall Profits Tax" . . . ?

How about someone talking about electric cars NOW and getting our gas-guzzler off the roads?

How about someone talking about the bankrupting of our Treasury which should be TREASON?

How about someone talking about ending our occupation of Iraq and at least acknowledging our
more than 4,000 dead soldiers -- and more than 2 million dead Iraqis?

How about someone talking about restoring our Constitutional rights/Bill of Rights?

How about someone talking about ending the warmongering we've all suffered over the last 8 years?

How about candidates who stand against capital punishement --- ?

What's Hillary's postion on it --- ? I think she supports it . . .

What's Obama's position on it --- ? I think he supports it . . .

What about someone talking aobut ending our phony Drug War ---

What about 1 out of every 1000 American citizens in JAIL --- ??? !!!!

On and on it could go ---

Wake up, folks !!!!

[roseBudd]

17. What you should be worried about is what John McCain & Mitch McConnel think about Healthcare/SS

You people kill me.

[Whisp]

25. I know what you mean, defendandprotect.

Neither Hillary or Barack is talking the real talk.

but I have a feeling Obama is flying below the radar to be an 'acceptable' runner. If he started off with Kucinich or Gravel honesty he'd be dust as well long before now. He keeps saying there is little difference between his and Clinton's policies, saying it too often. She doesn't, does she?

I'm thinking he's sneaky, in a good way. You can't change the establishment in one fell swoop - impossible. So many decades of corporate cash harm and political complicity and fuck the poor can't be undone in a dramatic way. His job is getting in, then we'll see things ratchet up a bit more in the favor of the great unwashed - is what I believe.

Could be way wrong, but that's the feeling I'm getting. I think he is genuinely interested in the Urgency of Now.

[defendandprotect]

28. That's 1 in 100 in JAIL in America now . .. too late to edit my post ---

[roseBudd]

16. Obama is Secratariat, Clinton is Seabiscuit, the stakes are so high I have to go

with talent over determination. I am a pragmatist. Winning is job one.

21. Big Red

[AndyTiedye]

22. But in a Shocking Decision, the Title Gets Awarded to the Old Lame Nag After they Miscount the Laps

turning his last-place finish into first-place, amid screams of "FIX!" from the stands.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

24. What? No option for "Reject and Denounce"??

Horrors. I want to be able to "reject and denounce"!

[frogcycle]

27. I must be getting punchy

I just made up an Amos'n'Andy routine about "reject and denounce"

Now I am pining for the Kingfish.

Holy Mackeral!

Edit: just realized why I did that. There WAS such a bit - sort of -

Kingfish: "I rejects the allegation and resents the allegator"

[rucky]

26. Supporting either one takes a bit of a leap of faith

that they'll govern as promised.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. I'm getting to the point where I'm sick of both of them

but I'll vote for either.
