via this Poll. They announced it on the News as well. To be fair, they do a Poll each evening with their news.

My first thought was that they were looking for a President against abortion. Of course the question is not direct and it indeed can be taken either way.

4. Yes, this poll doesn't tell us much...
I would vote yes because I support candidates that'll work to keep abortion safe and legal, and between a woman and her doctor.

Another person may vote yes because they want a candidate who will work to ban, outlaw or further restrict abortion.

Bad poll.

3. I can't say I'd NEVER vote for an anti-choice candidate, but it'd be a hard sell
I remember when Jerry Brown returned to the country in the early 90s and said he thought abortion was "crazy". He later qualified the matter to say he was still pro-choice, but if he'd taken a less libertarian stand on the issue, I could still have voted for him after he took the nomination.

Really, just about any Democrat, once they're nominated, has my vote. They'd have to rob a liquor store or run around slashing hookers at night before I'd consider voting Republican.

6. I draw the line at slashing hookers
Definitely.

Robbing liquor stores?? Meh, I don't know, still not as bad as Duke and his millions in defense contract kickbacks.

5. I don't think I can vote "no" on this
Just couldn't vote for a anti-choice candidate. Maybe the intent of the poll is not "freeper," but to see how important the Choice Issue is to everyone/both sides???
