3. Clinton would be able to earn my vote, depending on how she handled the rest of the campaign |
|
but I would entertain a non-Nader 3rd party vote, probably with my former Peace and Freedom party.

If I lived in California I might do the same. But since I live in Virginia, my vote might matter and I will vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what.

|
if Hillary dropped out,
every single person said Obama (including me).
Interesting difference from this poll thus far.
I'm for the Dem nominee because I'm a Dem.

40. I don't take this kind of spin lightly...sorry, can't lighten up. |

I believe that one would have to have a pro-Hillary agenda to ask what would happen if the front-runner, Obama, bailed from the race. It would have made more sense to ask who we would vote for if Hillary--the current loser--bailed from the race.
These are subtle mind games played on voters. Like the polls, these tactics are designed to manipulate voters.

19. If Darth Vader were the democratic nominee, would you vote for him? |

The options are:
a. Vote for John McCain
b. Vote for Darth Vader
Either way you're horrible. Which will it be? This is very important.

41. You might want to rethink your criteria for "ignore" |
|
Obama and Clinton offer two different Americas. It is highly unlikely that supporters of one could switch to supporting the other.
Even if the DNC pulled their "GOP boogeyman" scare tactics, most Obama supporters will realize that there isn't that much difference between Hillary Clinton and John McCain...in both cases, they will say whatever the audience wants to hear, and do what they want after they are elected.
We've seen Hillary Clinton promise to represent us when she is running for office, then spend her term in the Senate being a neocon collaborator, voting more often to confirm Bush Jr's neocon policies than to vote against them.
Same with John McCain.
I. won't. vote. for. Hillary. Clinton.
I believe there are many, many Democrats like me.
I would bet that Obama supporters would either write in his name or simply not vote.
Not all Democrats are doormats. Not all Democrats will march in lock-step robotic unison to the polling booth to choose the DNC's candidate.
If that means I am on your criteria for "ignore," then ignore away.

pisses you off doesn't it? why reward the democrats with a vote when they don't support working class people. they vote to close all avenues of redress so there is no fairness.
i will not reward the dems with a vote if they don't support what i believe in. i will vote independent or vote Edwards as a write-in before i vote for any of them.
as for McCain. that is YOUR PROBLEM not mine. if the dems want my vote they will have to give me a reason to vote FOR them not against them. right now, my vote belongs to Edwards & no one else.

32. All depends on why he drops out.. |
|
Is he out because one of his girls or Michelle is very sick and he has to focus on that? Or, is he out because the Clinton campaign used dirty tactics, backroom deals and blackmail to get him to sit out?
If it's the former - I vote for Clinton. If it's the latter - I sit this one out, and my husband votes for McCain.

This is subtle spin to convince people that Obama--with 100 more delegates than HRC and having won twice as many states as HRC--may drop out.
Sorry, won't work. Perhaps Hillary and her supporters are unable to do the math, but Obama and his supporters are able to do the math.
