Every one of these options is of much higher quality than Kerry versus Bush, or Gore versus Bush, for that matter. So we've got THAT going for us. Posted by: critter at January 23, 2008 12:21 PMI'm not sure I'd go quite that far. Edwards doesn't strike me as an improvement over Gore or Kerry. And Huckabee is definitely not an improvement over the choices in either of the last two elections. But in general you are right, the probably candidates are a big step forward. Posted by: wj at January 23, 2008 12:39 PMYou're right wj, I was discounting Huckabee. But I'd say that Edwards squeezes over the low threshold of being less a weenie than Kerry. But then, I wuz just calling him a whiny douche yesterday, so... Posted by: critter at January 23, 2008 11:22 PMNow, if the poll would only let me look at the results without voting again. (Or, if it does, if only I could figure it out....) Posted by: wj at January 24, 2008 10:29 AMPerhaps someone knows the answer regarding displaying the results. For me, they display automatically on my work computer, but don't display on my home computer. Posted by: Todd Pearson at January 24, 2008 11:08 AMCurrent vote totals: Clinton v. McCain 3 Total Votes: 29 I'm struck by how much agreement we have here, despite options on both sides being given. CLINTON CAMP SMEARS OBAMA. CHALLENGE TO STUDENTS: Any advice or assistance in marketing this book would be OBAMA 4 PRESIDENT: OBAMA FOR CHANGE.(WE INSTEAD OF ME) ETHICS, INTEGRITY, MORALITY,TRUTH, AND INTELLIGENCE, THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE !! Even though the dear Clintons are running such Take our country back. Our government is no longer for sale. Foreign and Corporate lobbies have bought officials in Washington DC, for the last time. Why we need change can be found by examining the hypocrisy in government leadership for several years. From the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on.Read the following book for details. You will understand we need Obama for 2008 and beyond. Our Foreign Policy is the core of destruction of all other issues facing America. Not only change in executive, but also the legislative (congress) so influenced by special interest, instead of the people of America. The easiest way to place an order is to go to the Author House Bookstore. You can also send prospective buyers to our Book Order Hotline, at 888.280.7715. Also, orders can be accepted via email at bkorders@authorhouse.com. OR: :http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=49149 I voted with the majority on this one based on the candidate I liked best from each party. But I like Obama and will vote for him in my state's primary, as well as the general election if he's on the ballot. I also think McCain presents the biggest challenge to Obama (or anyone) in the general election. So the question is, should I perfer the weakest Republican to maximize Obama's chances, or should I simply be sure that an unobjectionable (to me) candidate, which McCain is, wins either way? (I know that neither this poll nor my internal strategizing has any effect on anything but my brain or anyone I happen to communicate with, but I'm just musing here.) Posted by: WHQ at January 24, 2008 04:13 PMWow, it's been a while... I figured I'd vote and see what happened. Despite occasionally getting into some impassioned disagreements with some of the more conservative folks here in the past, I seem to be in general agreement with the majority of folks about who the candidates should be in the fall. I can expand it slightly thus: Dems (disclaimer: this IS my party affiliation and probably how I'll be voting, barring something extraordinary): Obama (thoughtful, moderate, reasonable, charismatic) Reps: McCain (Hard to read, but far better than the rest of this crowd...we'll see if his decision to make a hard turn towards Bush was just jockeying for support or if he really did decide to throw in with the Neocons) Romney (This one was tough, because of likely policy stances, but I think McCain would be a stronger and better president) ...uhhhhhhh....ack....Hu *cough*ckabee ...beyond that, no way man Posted by: Patrick at January 24, 2008 09:34 PMWhat is with you people regarding Obama? He bought his house from the slumlord backer of his for $300k under priced. Chicago slumlord backer used federal housing monies and loans. Two He voted "present" over 100 times as a state Forget that Hilary should have been the Senator from Illinois? Addendum:
would vote for None of the Above preferences and could only vote as the lesser of the evils.
