Have you decided on a PRIMARY candidate--REALLY decided?

[blondeatlast]

As in, there is slim to no chance you could change your mind before your state's primary?

FWIW, I'm posting this because while we are being told by the MSM that there are precious few Democratic leaders, it seems to me most Democrats (not just DUers) are a long way from a decision, much less committing money, time, or a vote to them. Therefore, I think talk of any Democratic being the likely choice is way premature--and possibly manipulation.

If you've definitely crossed a candidate off, but have no firm choice, please choose "other," which is why I made this binary.

Thank you.

Edit: I should have definitely put "Primary" in the SL--I am not interested in the GE, and would prefer no pimping, but do what you will...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. No.

I'm interested in Obama, because he's the leading democratic candidate, but it's entirely up in the air.

[Ganja Ninja]

2. No and it's getting harder to choose as time goes on. n/t

[blondeatlast]

3. Also--can we kick this up occasionally? thanks. nt

4. General Clark has always been my one and only candidate

I am almost resolved to the notion that he will not run. My state's (Mississippi) primary is impotent and late so my primary vote is irrelevant, but given the opportunity I will write in General Clark's name.

I WILL HOWEVER VOTE FOR WHOMEVER THE DEMS NOMINATE AND WILL URGE THE NOMINEE TO ENSURE THAT GENERAL CLARK IS IN THEIR ADMINISTRATION ...

[truebrit71]

22. He endorsed HRC. He has confirmed that he isn't running.

More is the pity because he was my first choice as well....

[BOSSHOG]

25. I still need some time

to accept your subject line however he will make an awesome Secretary of State. His talents will be needed after all the damage dumbass rice has done the past 3+ years.

I think Hillary would have made a great Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Clark's administration.

[truebrit71]

34. I don't think he could be SOS. He has to be retired from the military for 10 years I think...

...I could be wrong but that's what I recall hearing...

[BOSSHOG]

35. You are right, halfway.

He has to be retired 10 years to be Secretary of Defense but not State.

[truebrit71]

36. See! I knew it was Secretary of something!! And State does sound better than defense anyway..

He would be a true asset there...

[BOSSHOG]

39. Yeah, any knuckledragger can be SECDEF

but General Clark has the smarts, acumen and diplomatic savvy to be SECSTATE. Hopefully our nominee realizes that.

Secretary of Something - I love that my Friend.

[saracat]

5. I have decided on Edwards because he seems to be the only candidate truly invested in the people.

He is the only candidate to put poverty and labor issues front and center.I also believe he is the only candidate who will definitively win against the GOP. He is polling will the largest percentages against GOP contenders overall. We cannot afford to take "chances". in this election.

[Roxy66]

10. Agreed. But, I will vote for any Dem. This is too big to let another freak in.

[Think82]

6. check this out: at least the last minute of this

[Solly Mack]

7. still waiting to be wowed....

my husband and I talk over the choices...the only person I will debate the pros and cons with...and we're both still undecided

[ceile]

8. Richardson for me.

But I will vote for whoever wins the nomination.

[Think82]

9. I'm sidin' with Biden

I've watched all the debates and it's pretty clear to me who the best choice is

[Nite Owl]

11. Yes with a big but

I have decided Edwards because I feel he is really the one for the average American worker who desperately needs help. I feel he is an honest broker and has the fire to win. BUT if there were a chance in the world for Dennis to pull it off I would switch quickly. I don't think there is though and this is no time to just make a statement. I like Obama and Richardson too.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. I'm undecided

I've thought I knew who a couple of times, but then I've changed my mind.

We have some good choices, but no one has become the "one" for me yet.

[Individualist]

13. DK all the way

[livetohike]

14. I will vote for Dennis as his views are closest to my heart

:-)

[SharonRB]

15. I'm waiting for Al

If he doesn't run, I'm leaning toward Dodd now, but that could change.

[HERVEPA]

16. Irrelevant for me. I'm from PA

My primary vote will be irrelevant, due to Pennsylvania's late primary date.

[blondeatlast]

17. It actually matter here, so I hope you voted in my poll.

I'm kind of making a point here--or at least trying.

[Zookeeper]

18. No. I'm still watching and listening. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

19. No, but I've narrowed it down to probably two..

although I'm wavering kind of towards a third. I was the same way the last time. It was between Edwards and Clark the whole time with Kerry a close third. I had no idea who was I going to vote for until I got in the booth.

Anyway, by the time Virginia votes, it'll all be over anyway, but I still do my civic duty, and it makes my conscience feel better if I can vote MY choice at least just once.

On the other hand, I may just vote in the repub primary just to be able to vote AGAINST somebody.

I'll see when the time comes.

[blondeatlast]

20. Your latter option is worth considering--I think a lot of Rs are already planning on it.

OTOH, I hate the thought of either of the worst candidates of eith party getting the big nod.

Politics has become a VERY dangerous game anymore.

[hyphenate]

21. Need a third choice!

I have firmly set myself on a candidate, but if Al Gore DOES get into the election, I would wholeheartedly support him first without a doubt, and make my current primary choice his running mate.

[blondeatlast]

24. Good point--he would certainly change the course for me. I'd still be

undecided, but he'd alter my list quite a bit.

[ThomWV]

23. Im a Gore Democrat sitting back waiting for better times, which is to say ....

I'm sitting back watching the rest of them slit each other's throats. If Gore doesn't run my choices run first to Kucinich, then to Edwards, then to Biden, then to Richardson. I don't find Dodd a viable candidate, Gravel either. I will not support Clinton or Obama in the primarys and if one of them turns out to be the candidate I will do nothing to get them into office other than vote a straight Democratic ticket in the General election - no contribution, no canvasing, no person-to-person talks with neighbors, no nothing.

[AspenRose]

44. In the same boat as you

In my heart of hearts I really wish Gore would run. I don't know if he will....trying not to get my hopes up....

[Dr Fate]

26. Anyone in between Hill and Gravel.

I wont be supporting Hill and I doubt that I'll support DK or Gravel.

It is usually a toss up b/t Edwards & Obama.

A tiny part of me still thinks Gore could suprise us all...

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Geaux DK!!

:bounce:

[makhno]

28. Kucinich in the primary and the general

The only candidate who shares my views.

[Greyhound]

29. Like most of America, my primary vote won't matter at all, but it goes to DK.

He is right on the issues, right in healing the nation, and right in addressing the dominance of corporations.

Show me another candidate that will use the billions currently wasted on corporate welfare for the war machine and will work for the American people, and I can be convinced, but until then...

[Tesha]

30. Kucinich, absolutely, unless Gore jumps in. (NT)

[blondeatlast]

31. Could this poll have been DU/GD/Ped? nt

[TwilightZone]

33. Interesting.

I was in here a little while ago and it was something like 4:1, leaning toward people who hadn't decided. Now, it's 50/50.

[blondeatlast]

38. Yep.

I stay out of there--yuck.

[MrCoffee]

32. i've picked my horse, and i'm not changing down the back stretch

[emilyg]

40. Same here.

[LSK]

37. Edwards, but I could still be persuaded if Gore ran

Besides that, its pretty much a done deal.

[blondeatlast]

41. To our honored GD/P guests: Please note the poll doesn't ENDORSE any candidate.

So kindly do your pimping back home.

Thank you for visiting.

[BlooInBloo]

42. Nope. Don't have to decide for like what - 10 months? Don't plan to until then, either.

[H2O Man]

43. Other.

There are things I like about several candidates. I don't feel any pressure to decide upon one at this point.

[blondeatlast]

46. That's where I THOUGHT most of us were--and I still do.

I'm a bit puzzled by the results.

I could easily vote for a number of the candidates and I wasn't decided last time until late in the game.

[Swamp Rat]

45. Al Gore/Anybody Else 2008

:D

[shanti]

47. dk speaks for me!

[blondeatlast]

48. Kick for the swing shift. nt

[rosesaylavee]

49. Gore

and if not him, Kucinich, Dodd, Biden (god help me) and not necessarily in that order. My preference changes daily.
