Poll question: If tomorrow doesn't end the nomination process, & the race goes to the convention...

With the party split in two, what solution would you prefer?

1. Hillary should step down, if she has less delegates,
and accept a VP slot or bow out.

Superdelegates should not be the deciders. The people should.

2. Seems to me people been smokin they own....
...if they think either candidate will be the other's VP. Ain't gonna happen, friends. To go from being a real Senator to just breaking ties in the Senate? What on earth makes folks think either one would accept such a downgrade in power?

3. For the chance
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 04:06 PM by mohc
to run as the clear frontrunner for the nomination in 2016. I believe most Senators would trade their legislative careers for a shot at the Presidency. That said I still do not think these particular candidates could be on the same ticket, but I bet there are other Senators that would jump at the chance.

4. Move to Canada (if they'll take us).
If the race goes to the convention floor, there's no way we'll beat the repub in November so either get used to watching this country go down the toilet from the inside or the outside. Either way, it's going down.

If the candidate with the fewest delegates doesn't step down soon, it's all over for the Democratic party.

7. agree, if it goes on until August
I doubt the party can be 'unified' in time for the Nov vote.

8. A duel at ten paces.
Zell Miller can serve as their second and hand them the pistols.



It's Democracy people. It's kind of the whole gig, you know? Letting people vote.

10. It won't fucking matter
this goes to the convention, and it's President McCain, which is why the powers that be in the party won't let it happen.
